American artist Cher released a new Christmas single titled Christmas Is Here. It’s a song about the importance of spending Christmas with loved ones and reflecting on the year that passed.
The music is Pop/Holiday. It features a catchy beat with great tempo changes, from semi-fast to fast, then slows down at times. It starts with fantastic sleigh bells and percussion, then moves to a Techno-style beat blended with Pop. The music is rich in rhythm and style. It parallels Cher’s 1999 single Believe. There’s a holiday twist that creates a nostalgic vibe. The composition is incredible in terms of structure and rhythm. It also reminds me of Cher’s 2023 Christmas album Christmas. The musicians did remarkable work in creating Holiday cheer.
Cher’s voice is soft and rhythmic. She sings this song with heart and soul, with great passion. Her vocal style is rhythmic, as always.
The lyrics are romantic, with words of hope and comfort needed during the holiday season. It’s apropos for this year, according to some who felt 2025 was challenging. It beautifully describes the importance of ensuring no one feels alone this time of year, and of celebrating love, generosity, and compassion. The verses are very descriptive, full of reassurance that everything will be okay. The same goes for the chorus. There’s depth in the lyrics through repetition and smooth, freestyle writing. It also celebrates self-love and self-compassion, and encourages us to let go of our mistakes and the past.
The single Christmas Is Here is available.
