Looks like everyone's favorite meany is making nice.
After Simon Cowell recently spoke out about mistakes made in handling the Susan Boyle phenomenon, the famed music man has teamed up with the Britain's Got Talent songstress to begin production on her debut album, and the duo has already recorded her first song.
"She sounds fantastic on record," Cowell tells People. "She's so good, the album is not just going to be show tunes."
Just don't expect to see Boyle's record out anytime soon. After the runner-up's countless issues with hospitalization, stress and exhaustion, the American Idol judge reassures fans: "We're going to take our time with this."
Sources say that Boyle's Sony Music label is also on board with absolutely no pressure to record being placed on the overnight sensation, as well as an open option to walk away from the project at any time.
Despite a few bumps along the way, Boyle can currently be seen performing across the U.K. on the Britain's Got Talent tour.
