Tom Cruise and his new wife Katie Holmes.

Tom Cruise is to release a record with new wife Katie Holmes, it has been claimed.

The actor - who tied the knot with the actress in Italy this month - has reportedly decided¹ to release a rendition of You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling with Katie after serenading his new wife with the tune² at their wedding reception.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Tom's got a great voice. And he loves that song ever since his Top Gun character Maverick³ sang it to woo his love interest Kelly McGillis.

Katie proved how talented she is musically when she performed in The Singing Detective remake."

Tom's vocal⁴ talents did not go unnoticed by several music producers who attended his wedding, and the couple have apparently⁵ been offered staggering sums to sign an exclusive record deal.

The only hurdle⁶ in the way of their chart success, however, is said to be Tom's obsession⁷ with Scientology.

The source added: "Music chiefs know it would be a massive hit so they don't want to lose all the money to a bizarre religious following.

"And record labels are reluctant to be associated with the strange faith. However, Tom is adamant⁸. He said the song is a symbol of their love and Scientology is a basis for their companionship."

据悉，汤姆·克鲁斯将与新婚爱妻凯蒂·赫尔姆斯推出一张唱片。

汤姆·克鲁斯和凯蒂于本月在意大利完婚。阿汤哥在婚礼招待会上一展歌喉，为凯蒂献上情歌《当爱逝去》。有消息称，阿汤哥打算推出这首歌的夫妻合唱大碟。

一位消息人士向英国的《每日星报》透露：“汤姆·克鲁斯的嗓音很好，自从他饰演了《壮志凌云》中的麦德林后，就喜欢上了麦德林唱给爱人凯利·麦吉利丝的那首《当爱逝去》。”

“而凯蒂的音乐才能则在她主演的《唱歌神探》重拍版本中得到了证明。”

参加婚礼的几位音乐制作人对阿汤哥的歌喉大为赏识，并开出高价与这对夫妇签下唱片的独家协议。

目前唱片公司唯一的担忧就是，阿汤哥的“科学神教”宗教信仰会影响这张唱片的人气。

据这位消息人士称：“唱片公司的高层很看好这张唱片，所以不想因为这个问题而失去一个赚钱的好机会。”

“在汤姆·克鲁斯的坚持下，唱片的封面设计也加入了科学教的元素。他说，这首歌是他和凯蒂爱情的象征，而科学神教则是他们相爱的基础。”
