The Laughing Apple

The Laughing Apple is the fifteenth studio album by Yusuf / Cat Stevens, released on 15 September 2017 by Cat-O-Log Records. It is Yusuf's fourth mainstream release since his return to music and his first since 2014's Tell 'Em I'm Gone. The album was produced by Yusuf / Cat Stevens & Paul Samwell-Smith.

Its title is a reference to one of Cat Stevens' earlier song, "The Laughing Apple" that was included as the B-side of his 1967 single "A Bad Night" and later on his second album New Masters. It would be the first album with his former name (Cat Stevens) included on an album since his Back to Earth album, released in 1978. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Folk Album.
