Few singers graduate to one-name status, fewer still go by a single syllable.
Cher has been synonymous with glamour, invention and then re-invention for six decades and now she's once again trying something new: a Christmas album. The album combines quintessentially Cher twists on classics from the American holiday canon with new music more reminiscent of club bumping hits like "Believe" (which turned 25 this year).
The album, simply titled Christmas, was released more than a week before Halloween, leading some to scratch their heads. But Cher told NPR's Scott Simon not to think too hard about it.

"It doesn't have anything to do with anything," Cher said of her Christmas album's early release date. "You've got a song, you love it [and] you do it. That's how you do it. That's how I do it."
Cher told Simon that when you listen to Christmas, there should be no confusion: This is her unconventional take on a Christmas album."...
