He Used To Be Cat Stevens - And He's Releasing A New Album
The artist formerly known as Cat Stevens will release his first pop album in 28 years this fall. Stevens, who changed his name to Yusuf Islam after converting to Islam in the late 1970s, has signed with Atlantic Records in conjunction with his Ya Records label, it was announced Thursday.
``I feel right about making music and singing about life in this fragile world again,'' the 58-year-old singer-songwriter said in a statement. ``It is important for me to be able to help bridge the cultural gaps others are sometimes frightened to cross.''
The album, ``An Other Cup,'' is set for release in November. His last studio album was 1978's ``Back to Earth.''
``Yusuf's new songs are as moving and timeless as the classics that inspired a generation,'' Atlantic Chairman/CEO Craig Kallman said in a statement. ``His spiritual quest is one of the most extraordinary stories of our time a life journey marked by courage, devotion and transformation.''
Will he be killed for it?
may the force be with him and his camel too..........
How about "The `Prophet' Mohammed was a fraud and a con man"?
The lyrics write themselves.
"OOHH allah allah it's a muslim world
and it's hard to get by without jihad, allah"
Wonder if the mullahs will decide that his music goes against tenents of the "religion of peace" and call for his death. That would be hilarious.
LOL
Featuring new songs:
"Come here little boy"
"Quick drag out the women and children"
"Im no Coward I'm a Koranimal"
"Lets all kill each other like animals"
>>Didn't he come out pretty hard against Salmon Rusdie way back when?<<
He supported the death threat against Rushdie.
He also said that if his (what do you call them...Mullah or whatever) asked him to kill for Allah, he would do it.
I'm bein followed by a moonbat, moonbat,a moonbat.
IIRC, even when he was Cat Stevens, he was 'celibate.' I'm thinking, what, couldn't pick a preference? Or couldn't convince anyone else to?
You forgot "Piece Train." Not to mention "Vertebra Has Broken."
He had no idea how priscent he was when he sang "if I even lose my head"...
Possible new song titles.
"Beat Your Woman Like a True Believer"
"Do the Jihad Polka"
"Get On The Religion of Peace Train"
"Im being followed by a Nuke shadow"
"Learn to Blow Up Like Daddy"
"In Islam, There Is No Such Thing As a Landing"
"Don't Work, Just Pray and Wait for Allah to Feed You"
I might buy it just to hear "Sad Infidel".
You're having entirely too much fun!
"Love Democrats Until the End, Then Off With Their Heads To"
"Do The Cell Phone Detonation"
