(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Madonna has reportedly been acting as the perfect mentor to daughter Lourdes, who is set to continue her mothers pop legacy.

The 52-year-old music icon has teamed up with 14-year-old daughter Lourdes on a track called It's So Cool, which was first recorded eight years ago, but the version featuring the teens vocals was never released. The song was reworked at a New York studio in February so apparently the star is now considering whether to feature it on her next album, or use it on the soundtrack to her film about US socialite Wallis Simpson.

"Madonna hopes Lourdes will step into her shoes and become one of the biggest female artists in the world, a source told British newspaper The Sun.

"She's the perfect mentor for her daughter and is keen to assist her first steps into the industry.

Many record companies are eager to sign Lourdes, and it is believed she has inherited her mothers musical gift. Those close to the teen say she also shares her mothers trademark charisma and feisty attitude.

"Lourdes has a great voice and plenty of character - like her mom," added the source. (C) Cover Media
