Cat Stevens Working on New Album

18 May 2006

Singer Yusuf Islam, better known by the name Cat Stevens, is working on a new CD.

The successful folk singer of the 1960s and 70s is planning to release his first album in 28 years, following his retirment from the world of music in 1979, two years after changing his name in accordance with his new religion.

The new recording, which is as yet untitled, is expected to be released next autumn. The singer told the BBC, "It is important for me to be able to help bridge the cultural gaps."

The new collection will feature Islamic songs that he has written over the past 20 years and will be produced by Rick Nowels, who has also worked with Madonna, Stevie Nicks and Belinda Carlisle.
