Joining the list of ex-stars who seek solace in music, Mandakini is launching an album No Vacancy, whose theme, predictably enough, is love. The album contains eight songs, which a press release insists are "divine alchemy". Added Mandakini: ``They are situational songs and have a story to tell."

Mandakini's previous stint with music was 12 years ago, when she sung for Bappi Lahri's album Dancing City. ``I have a background in singing, so I decided to capture the pulse of the youth," she said. Mandakini's only claim to fame proved to be Ram Teri..., and the rest of her ventures bombed miserably. But rather than fading away, she moved into notoriety as rumours of her connections with theunderworld abounded. She finally sought refuge in Bangalore.

Today, after six years of hibernation, she has returned with No Vacancy, produced by Rajeev Chaubey. The music will be released in mid-June, along with two videos. Claimed Chaubey, ``Mandakini has the best voice in the industry. Her voice has immense range and is that of a proper singer's.'' The title, he informed, comes from the change in boy-girl equations, ``Previously, girls would follow boys, now it is the other way round!''
