What do you do when your music career is at a standstill??? You release a covers album!
Just a year after the release of his last album, Seal is back with a new CD - a collection of soul standards.
And, guess what???
The first single is really really good!

Just like Cher, there's no getting rid of Tina Turner.
Divas just won't go quietly.
Nor should they!
Eight years after her "farewell" tour, Tina got onstage in Kansas City, MO, Wednesday night and kicked off her 36-date tour.
In attendance were Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama. Plus Gayle too - duh!
Tina's not resting either. She'll be performing in Chicago this Friday and Saturday night.
Madonna's latest tour is making it big.
Her Madgesty has already brought in more than $120 million just from her European tour and has sold out 16 of the 17 shows.
And, now, Madonna's getting ready for the American start of her Sticky & Sweet outing.
She's got five sold out shows just in the New York area awaiting her!
The tour is scheduled to start October 4th in New Jersey and will have four shows in Madison Square Garden.
Guess there won't be a 50 Cent vs. Kanye West December showdown after all!
Kanye is pushing up the release of his new album from December to November.
West just released the following statement on his blog:
"I CHANGED MY ALBUM (release) TO NOVEMBER SOMETHING CAUSE I FINISHED THE ALBUM AND I FELT LIKE IT.. I WANT YALL TO HEAR IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE."
No one stands in Kanye's way!

It can be argued that the Jonas Brothers are Hanson (2.0).
But, instead of harboring any sort of spite for the 'biters', it looks like the Hansons have nothing but love for the new, wholesome, brotherly kings of pop.
The Hansons chatted with Access Hollywood about the Jonas phenoms.
The eldest Hanson, Issac told the entertainment chatter show:
“I wish them all the best in the world. It’s a hard job and they’re definitely packing a lot in."
