An Other Cup runneth over

An Other Cup by Yusuf - A new album by (formerly known as) Cat Stevens!

Amazon says: Yusuf's (formerly Cat Stevens) first album of modern pop songs since 1978's Back to Earth. On his return to music, Yusuf says "I feel right about making music and singing about life in this fragile world again. It is important for me to help bridge the cultural gaps others are sometimes frightened to cross."

My favorite Cat Stevens albums were Teaser and the Firecat and Tea for the Tillerman, which I gave to my brother. I always considered these to be brilliant pop songs, and later on, bought the MasterWorks CD of Teaser and the Firecat. It still sounds great 35 years later. So it's really cool to see this Cat return to the music scene after a break of almost three decades.

Yusuf Islam was also named as Songwriter Of The Year in Britain for the second year in a row by ASCAP UK (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.) His song "First Cut is the Deepest" was one of ASCAP's top songs last year. Source: Reuters UK
