Susan Boyle's New Album To Feature Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day'

September 22, 2010
Susan Boyle's New Album To Feature Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day'Susan Boyle's new festive album will include a cover of Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day', it's been announced.

The song is one of ten tracks on 'The Gift', which is due to be released on November 9.

Earlier this month, reports – later denied by Reed – claimed the singer had banned Boyle from covering the song on American Idol.

'The Gift' will also include covers of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah', 'Away In A Manager' and 'Don't Dream It's Over' by Crowded House.

The Britain's Got Talent star said she wanted a mix of songs that would “flow with all our moods this holiday season”.

Boyle's cover of 'Perfect Day' will be released as the album's first single.
