Susan Boyle is in the studio recording a Christmas album, according to U.S. retail sources. While specifics are unclear, Sony is targeting it for an October release.
Columbia spokeswoman Fran DeFeo confirmed that Boyle is "recording a new album to come out later this year."
Boyle recently announced a competition, called "Susan's Search," to give her fans the chance to sing on the follow-up to her chart-topping debut, "I Dreamed a Dream." Aspiring Boyle collaborators can enter the competition by uploading a video of themselves singing "Silent Night" to her YouTube page. The winner will record a duet with Boyle to appear on the album.
