Boyle eyes partner for duets on new album

SCOTTISH singer Susan Boyle, who shot to fame on a TV talent show in 2009, is searching for a duet partner to appear on her new album.

"I thought that what I would like more than anything this year is to be able to give something back -- to pass on the gift that I had been given," the 49-year-old said on her website yesterday.

Her debut album, "I Dreamed a Dream," shot to No. 1 in more than 20 countries and sold nine million copies worldwide.

Her follow-up will be called "The Gift."

The competition, to be run on her official website www.susanboylemusic.com, will be open from July 9-23, and the winner will be announced on July 26. Boyle has invited entrants to upload videos of themselves singing Christmas carol "Silent Night."

"There are a lot of people out there who wouldn't have the confidence or perhaps the means to enter a big competition like 'Britain's Got Talent'," she said of the program that made her an international star.

"So this might be a lot less daunting for some people as they can record the song in the privacy of their own home."
