Looks like everyone's favorite meany is making nice.

After Simon Cowell recently spoke out about mistakes made in handling the Susan Boyle phenomenon, the famed music man has teamed up with the Britain's Got Talent songstress to begin production on her debut album and the duo has already recorded her first song.

"She sounds fantastic on record," Cowell tells People. "She's so good, the album is not just going to be show tunes."
