An Other Cup

(Atlantic) The journey of Yusuf back to making music has taken 28 long years. The millions who bought the records he made as Cat Stevens back in the '60s and '70s always hoped that one day, the world would again hear his mellow voice and intimate, thought-provoking songs. There were times when they feared it would never happen. Now the long wait is finally over and those wishes have come true.
The path that led to his first collection of new songs since 1978 represents one of the most remarkable tales of our time. To say that An Other Cup picks up exactly where he left off would be to ignore the life-changing significance of the spiritual quest that has taken him from youthful pop singer to arguably the best-known and most widely respected humanitarian figure in British society today. His work with children devastated by war and his founding of schools throughout London has earned him a Nobel Peace Laureate. And yet listen to the songs and there is so much that is familiar. His voice still has the same rich, warm patina, he has lost none of his ability to conjure a memorable melody and his songwriting articulates our profound needs and emotions more eloquently than ever. Yusuf's album An Other Cup will be in stores November 14th. The single is now on iTunes but you can check out the video at the full story link. - Click here for the Full Story
