New Michael Jackson Album Out in November

An all-new Michael Jackson collection featuring 10 unreleased songs will be released this November, a rep for the Jackson estate exclusively reveals.

At the time of his death Jackson reportedly left hard drives filled with unheard music, much of it recorded during the King of Pop’s ’80s peak. Jackson’s manager Frank DiLeo told Rolling Stone that he estimates that Jackson’s vaults contain more than 100 completed and unreleased songs, including collaborations with Akon, Will.i.am and Ne-Yo.

“Every time that [Jackson] recorded, he over-recorded. He would record anywhere from 20 to 30 songs for each album,” former Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola said last year. Any of them could have been as big a hit as the ones that came out.” One of the most noteworthy tracks was a Thriller outtake titled “Don’t Be Messin’ Around.” Other candidates include any of the reported five songs that Jackson recorded with Will.i.am.

Last year, a pair of unreleased Jackson tracks, “Another Day” and “A Place With No Name,” leaked, and recently Rodney Jerkins, who co-produced Jackson’s 2001 album Invincible, revealed to VladTV that he’s currently working on the collection.

The album of never-before-heard Jackson songs will be the first in a 10-project, seven-year deal the Jackson estate inked with Sony Music in March 2010 — a $250 million pact that will also 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. The hybrid karaoke and dance simulator Michael Jackson: The Video Game is also expected out by the end of 2010.

No longer alive, yet still taking care of his children. Michael, you still make me smile.

I will be all over his new music, will you buy?

I love Michael Jackson and so I cannot wait till this new album comes out! Its gonna be amazing! The music industry has missed his creative genius. Though you can still hear his influence through artists like Usher, Ne-yo, Justin Timberlake, Omarion, Marques Houston and of course Chris Brown. When you watch Chris Browns music videos or Omarions music videos or Justin Timberlakes music videos you can see his influence right there on screen. He made some of the best ever R&B music videos and the only music video genre that ever came close to creating the same sort of excitement as Michael Jackson videos was Rap & Hip hop music videos.
