A Second Cup Of Tea
In September 2020, Yusuf/Cat Stevens released Tea For The Tillerman2 , a reworking of his most famous longplayer from 1970. Here he explains the reasoning behind the new record: “It was very much a spark of an idea that came from my son because we were coming up to the 50th anniversary and time has flown so fast,” he says. “Anyway, I thought it was quite cool. I certainly wasn’t aiming to make it kind of a replica of the [original] album, but just to kind of bring it up to date to where we are today and how we feel today and how incredibly the songs relate to the condition of the world and to my own spiritual vocation. So that was where it came from.”
