R&B star Lemar is about to head out to the States to complete work on his latest album.
The singer, who launched his career after appearing on Fame Academy in 2002, put his music plans on hold after his girlfriend Charmaine Powell gave birth to a baby girl, Nyiema, six weeks ago.
"I've already recorded about 40 tunes for it, but I want to do another 20 and then choose the best 10," Lemar told Celebs on Sunday. "I'm a very busy dad. I try to spend as much time as possible with Nyiema, but it's not always easy. And every time I see her she's changed."
"Having a daughter is the most beautiful thing that's happened to me in my life," he revealed. "It's made me determined to achieve everything I want to in life."
Lemar's last LP, The Truth About Love, debuted at number three in the UK album chart.
