"One World One Love" is the brand new album from Michael Bolton, and contains 12 tracks, co-written by Michael and includes collaborations with Ne-Yo, and woman of the moment Lady Gaga. Two covers are also included – "Sign Your Name" and "Crazy Love". Equally important, in Bolton’s eyes, was to make a record that would supply an antidote to the mood of gloom engulfing the planet. “Every song had to make you feel good, because people have enough hardships to think about right now. They need to feel good. ‘No heartbreak songs’ became our mantraâ€. While working with Mani, Bolton met up with a young fan and budding artist who was excited to write with one of her vocal heroes. “I was taking a break when my manager teamed me on the phone with a young artist named “Lady Gagaâ€. This was August of 2008. No one I knew had heard of her… yetâ€. Bolton co-wrote most of the 12 songs in fluctuating combinations with his various producers, writers and guests. The three exceptions were a stunning, Latin tinged version of the Terence Trent D’Arby hit from 1987, “Sign Your Name†– a song that Bolton heard a lot on the radio while he was enjoying his first chart success with “That’s What Love Is All Aboutâ€. The album closer “Crazy Love†is a beautifully spare cover of an old soul track by Van Morrison from his 1970 album "Moondance".
