Randy Jackson & Paula Abdul Team Up For Album


Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul are perhaps best known as being judges on American Idol along with Simon Cowell. But Billboard has revealed that Randy, who is also a Grammy-winning music producer and bassist, is releasing a new album in March. He has written and produced an album which will feature the hottest singers around on the vocals. Teaming up with Randy on the first singer is Paula Abdul, who was a highly successful singer with 53 million records sold worldwide. She hasn't do any music since 1996 so this is great news for Paula fans - which includes me (I'm her biggest!)
Billboard magazine said the following...
Randy Jackson has a busy first quarter ahead of him. Not only will the musician/producer be returning to the stage this week as a judge on "American Idol," but come March 11, the musician/producer will also have a new album to support.

Mariah Carey, Paula Abdul, Joss Stone, Travis Tritt, Jason Mraz and former "Idol" finalists Elliott Yamin and Katharine McPhee are amongst the artists making appearances on "Randy Jackson's Music Club, Vol. 1," which will be released on Jackson's Concord Music Group imprint, Dream Merchant.

Jackson produced the 12-track effort, which runs the gamut from country to hip-hop. The first single, "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow," features "Idol" cohort Abdul's first new recording in more than 10 years. A number of unique collaborations are also highlighted, including "Wang Dang Doodle" featuring Sam Moore, Keb' Mo' and Angie Stone and "I Understand" with Carey, Bebe Winans, Kim Burrell, Rance Allen and Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Tabernacle Church Choir.
