New Michael Jackson Album Due Out This November
August 1st, 2010
An album containing 10 unreleased Michael Jackson songs is due to be released this November, a rep for the Jackson estate has exclusively revealed to Rolling Stone magazine.
Jackson’s former manager Frank DiLeo told RS that he estimates that Jackson’s vaults contains more than 100 completed and unreleased songs, including collaborations with Akon, Will.i.am and Ne-Yo.
At the time of his death in June 2009, the King of Pop reportedly left several hard drives overflowing with unheard music, much of it recorded during the 1980s.
“There are a couple of songs we recorded for the Bad album that we had to cut that are just sensational,” DiLeo said.
According to Rolling Stone, the upcoming collection never-before-heard Jackson songs will be the first album in a 10-project, seven-year deal the Jackson estate signed with Sony Music in March 2010.
The deal is reportedly worth US$250 million, and will include reissues of Jackson’s classic albums, new greatest hits sets, a DVD collection of all Michael’s music videos and possibly a Cirque du Soleil show.
