to launch a new album!

Randy is releasing Music Club, Vol. 1. which will include Paula’s first single since 1993. “It’s an historical moment,” said Jackson.

The album will be released in March 11, and features Idol talents Katharine McPhee and Elliot Yamin, and stars Mariah Carey, Joss Stone, Travis Tritt, and Richie Sambora.
