Cher will have new album for us by the holidays

Cher has been tweeting up a storm about the recording of her first new album of original music in more than a decade.

The 66-year-old icon told followers on Twitter this week that the first single from her album will come out in October with the album being released in December.

Cher regularly communicates with fans on Twitter but she still knows when to hold back when it comes to the business of her career which is still going strong after 47 years in the spotlight.

“Cant tell names of songs cause Record CO. gave Strict ORDERS !” she tweets.

She also shared some details about her recording process: ‘I go in & sing for 90 min.–2 hrs.straight! Don’t Like sitting down till Song is finished! Usually I can Ace 1 Song In 1 session! YHSTLOM= 2 hrs. Turn back Time 90 min! I’m fast ! Many artists take a lot of time, but more time wouldnt make my vocals better. Don’t mean 2sound pompous,it’s the only way I know!’

But she doesn’t always have an easy time in the studio: ‘BELIEVE Worst Time EVER in Studio!! Thats why we used Pitch Machine!It just Wasnt working.’

As far as the new album goes, Cher is really excited about her duet with Lady Gaga called The Greatest Thing: ‘GAGA IS MAJOR&Her VOCAL IS AMAZING.’
