Notably, Abdul has released three studio albums so far: Forever Your Girl (1988), Spellbound (1991), and Head Over Heels (1995). Subsequent to that, she has for the most part been on a musical hiatus.
After her initial period of success, Abdul suffered a series of setbacks in her professional and personal life, until she found renewed fame and success in the 2000s as a celebrity judge on the television series American Idol (2001-2009).
In 2011, it was revealed that she would judge on the new show created by former partner in crime Simon Cowell, along with Island Def Jam owner L.A. Reid, and former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. After the success of the show's first season however, Abdul, Scherzinger, and their host Steve Jones were fired by the staff.
In 2000, she co-wrote "Spinning Around", a dance-pop track intended to be the lead single off her new album. The album never materialized and "Spinning Around" was given to Kylie Minogue as a single. The song became highly successful and re-launched Minogue's career, as it was intended to do for Abdul, and reached #1 in numerous countries.
According to her official website, Abdul is working on a new album that is reportedly scheduled for release by the end of 2008. Her first single from the album Dance Like There's No Tomorrow was released March 11, 2008 and is also featured as the opening track in the multi-artist compilation album Randy Jackson's Music Club, Volume One.

this is by far one of Paula Abdul's best songs. It is way underrated.
Record Grooves
This is a thousand times much better than the pop music being produced nowadays
Dog in the City
million times better....
Just4Now
This is one of the most underrated tracks. It’s like 3 songs in one. The producer was a genius. This song was made for live performance. It sounds so good performed live!
Just Cade
It's amazing
Larry CJ
So ahead of its time for the changes in tempo. One of my Paula faves!

I believe the Production group is called The Family Stand
Dominique Garofalo
It's so peppy! I love it.
Dustin Sutton
@astrolabe1976 The Family Stand's album around the same time was called Moon In Scorpio and it is an amazing album.
Dale Hopkins
The intentional and unapologetic silliness of this song still makes me smile.
