Stripped of a handful of tracks filled with contemporary signifiers, Cher’s Christmas could have been released at any point in the singer’s nearly six-decade career. Whether it be a faithful rendition of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” featuring the original queen of Christmas, Darlene Love, or the ingratiating original song “Christmas Ain’t Christmas Without You,” the majority of the album’s 13 tracks opt for a traditional holiday approach.
It’s when Cher and frequent collaborator Mark Taylor steer the project toward the long-dated dance-pop of the pair’s late-’90s smash “Believe” that the sleigh goes off the rails. For one, the album’s paint-by-numbers opening track, “DJ Play a Christmas Song,” is marred by a rudimentary hook—“DJ, play a Christmas song/I wanna be dancing all night long”—and gratuitous Auto-Tune and half-step key change. And the similarly pitched “Angels in the Snow” is only...

Cher is skipping over Halloween and heading straight for Christmas, her first-ever holiday album set for release on Oct. 20. The first single from the record, “DJ Play a Christmas Song,” finds the singer losing herself in the escapism of dance, with no jingle bells or mentions of sleigh rides anywhere in the three-and-a-half minute pop spectacle.
“DJ Play a Christmas Song” is the first record listed on the Christmas tracklist, which boasts guest appearances from Stevie Wonder, Darlene Love, Michael Bublé, Tyga, and Cyndi Lauper. The 13-track album features four...

Who needs to believe in life after love when you can believe in the magic of Christmas? Cher is finally gifting us with a holiday album, and she’s previewing it with lead single “DJ Play a Christmas Song.” (Our condolences to the “no Christmas music before Halloween” camp.)
Cher’s Christmas arrives October 20th via Warner, and pre-orders are ongoing. It comprises 13 songs total, supplementing a nice collection of classic tunes like “Santa Baby” and “Run Run Rudolph” with a handful originals. It also boasts a pretty wild grab-bag of featured artists, including Stevie Wonder, Cyndi Lauper (nice), Michael Bublé (naturally), and… Tyga.
“DJ Play a Christmas Song” is a rebel’s anthem for anyone whose parents told them Santa Claus would skip their house if they didn’t go to sleep. It’s got a classic four-on-the-floor beat and some subtle sleigh bells, as Cher sings of wanting...

As the Hollywood blockbuster machine continues to dust itself off and release some early winter hits, Hulu is going in a bit of a different direction with its list of new releases for November 2021.
There are no big Hulu original films of note this month. Instead there’s a whole host of original series. The TV parade starts on Nov. 5 with the release of Animaniacs season 2. Also getting a second season this month is monarchal comedy The Great on Nov. 19. The most intriguing series, however, is animated Marvel comedy Marvel’s Hit Monkey. As its name so graciously implies, this is a show about a hit monkey…as in monkey assassin. Naturally the hit monkey is haunted by the ghost of Jason Sudeikis because it’s important that everything make sense.
Though Hulu doesn’t have any original movies in November, its list of library movie titles is quite vast.

Next month, Netflix has a wide variety of films — modern to classic, animated to live action, Oscar winners to romantic comedies — and we’ve picked seven that you should watch once they’re made available on the streaming service. Enjoy.
Read More: 7 Films New to Netflix to Watch In November 2016, Including ‘Boyhood’ and ‘The Jungle Book’
1. “National Lampoon’s Animal House” (available December 1)
John Landis’ 1978 classic college comedy follows the rowdy Delta Tau Chi fraternity’s battle to remain on campus after they provoked the ire of the conniving Dean of the college. Features John Belushi in his most anarchic performance, toga parties, and sing-a-longs to “Louie Louie” and “Shout!”
2. “Waking Life” (available December 1)
Richard Linklater’s 2001 film “Waking Life” examines a bevy of philosophical issues — the nature of dreams, the limitations of consciousness and the meaning of life — in a surreal, rotoscoped dreamscape that demands the viewer’s mind to take flight.
