Holiday

It probably doesn't come as much of a surprise that the good-natured Ringo Starr was the first Beatle to produce an official Christmas album. Ringing in the new millennium with I Wanna Be Santa Claus, the spirited 12-track collection is wonderfully rooted in Starr's famous sense of humor and his former group's signature sound. Available on vinyl for the first time, hear Ringo's charming takes on evergreens like "Winter Wonderland," "The Little Drummer Boy," "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "White Christmas"; compelling originals "Come On Christmas, Christmas Come On" and "I Wanna Be Santa Claus"; and of course the album stealing version of The Beatles' "Christmas Time Is Here Again."

Christmas, Cher’s first new studio album in five years, includes 13 songs - several holiday classics and four originals. It also has a star-studded list of musical besties including Darlene Love, Stevie Wonder, Michael Bublé, Cyndi Lauper and Tyga.

“DJ Play A Christmas Song," the first single, was written by Sarah Hudson (Dua Lipa, Katy Perry, Troye Sivan) and her team who contributed four new songs for the album. (Full Track listing below)

Recorded primarily in LA and London, Christmas was produced by longtime collaborator Mark Taylor (“Believe”). Songs include beloved superstar duet classics “What Christmas Means To Me" with Stevie Wonder and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" with Darlene Love. (Darlene first recorded the song with Phil Spector and a l7-year-old Cher singing background vocals); in addition to a haunting version of “Home" written and sung with Michael Bublé.

“I never say this about my own records but I’m really proud of this one. It is one of the most amazing highlights of my career,” commented Cher.

One of the many highlights is a duet by Cher and Stevie Wonder of Stevie’s “What Christmas Means to Me." Commented Cher, “Every time I hear that harmonica, I’m a teenager again. It’s a personal dream come true for me to record this song with Stevie.”

Two other standouts include an unexpected pairing with Tyga on another Sarah Hudson song called “Drop Top Sleigh Ride” produced by Alexander Edwards, Mike Crook and Ryan OG, and the magnificent "Angels in the Snow" plus "Put A Little Holiday In Your Heart" with Cyndi Lauper.
