Officially Recorded by Paula (in demo form or finalized) A comprehensive look at what we know about Paula’s possible 4th studio album appears below. Many outstanding songs have been recorded for the album, although only a few have seen the light of day including snippets of “Boombox” and “Karma”. As early as 1999 the tentative title of the album was "Paulatics of Love". Over the years, Paula has been busy working behind-the-scenes on a new album. Seventeen years later, Paula isn’t known to be signed to a label, and a new album still hasn’t materialized.

In 1998, The Island/Def Jam Music Group acquired Mercury Records and dropped several artists from their roster including Paula before she completed her album. Paula Abdul has reported that she’s been working on a new album of material since 1997 when she was initially signed to Mercury Records after she parted ways with Virgin Records.

Information on Paula's was-meant-to-be 4th album:Īfter the release of the single “Ain’t Never Gonna Give You Up” in 1996, Paula focused on a career in television until her return to the pop scene in 2008’s “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow” with Idol Judge Randy Jackson followed by the 2009 single, “I’m Just Here For The Music”. But some of the ballads and the cheesey 90s dance songs - no thanks!ĭoes anyone have any links to hear Paula demos from the proposed album in 2000? "Crazy Cool" (my username no less!), "Ain't never gonna give you up", "Ho-Down" and "The Choice is Yours" are among my favourite Paula songs. It's her only album with filler tracks - can't name a bad song on either FYG or Spellbound. lots of anticipation and decent sales out of the gate, but quickly died.Head Over Heels is either extremely strong or extremely bad - there is no middle ground with that album. My Love Is For Real was promising, but the album was pretty much void of good songs, let alone hit material. I probably should listen to it again, just to see whether me being older now means the songs appeal to me, but I remember listening to it for the first time and thinking "what the hell happened - where are all the hits?"I was working at the Mall of America Sam Goody music store when Head Over Heels came out. Unfortunately, her third studio album absolutely bombed.
