American Idol’s Ruben Studdard Planning 4th Album

ruben studdard american idolAmerican Idol season 2 winner, Ruben Studdard, has a fourth album in the works. The “Velvet Teddy Bear” has not forgotten how he got his break in the business:

“I tell you what – the one thing I can say is that I tried my whole life to be a professional singer and nothing ever worked until American Idol came around,” Ruden told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “I’m appreciative of everything they’ve ever done for me, and I will always sing their praises.”

His last album “The Return” (released in October, 2006) did not sell a lot of copies but Ruben was happy with it:

“[With ‘The Return’] I knew I wanted to come out with something everyone would love,” Studdard said. “The album took so many directions. I worked on it for two years, so you can imagine how many directions you could go. But it turned out exactly the way I wanted.”

Work on his new album is set to begin in July. He plans to share a duet with another American Idol winner:

“I really want to do a duet with [Idol 3 winner, Fantasia Barrino] on this next album,” Studdard said. “We met while she was on [Idol] and have been friends ever since. I’m hoping this next album will be more soulful than all the ones I’ve ever done.”

A duet with Ruben and Fantasia??? Awesome!
