Roadsinger

Roadsinger is Yusuf's second mainstream release since his return to music.

The album was released by Island Records in the UK—his first for the label since Back to Earth.

"Everytime I Dream" was inspired by the media criticism of Yusuf Islam following his alleged support for the fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khomeini on Salman Rushdie, the author of The Satanic Verses.

[5] Alun Davies, Yusuf's long-time musical associate, does not feature on the album.

On the album cover, the singer is credited as "Yusuf" with a promotional sticker identifying him also as "Cat Stevens".
