We have seen that death doesn’t stop an artist from cashing in: Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, and Tupac have all padded their loved ones coffers from the grave. Now comes word that Michael Jackson will be releasing an album in November – Sony knows that this phenomenon is a lucrative venture because it signed a seven year deal with the King of Pop’s estate for some 250 million – the November album will be the first in this endeavor between Sony and Michael’s estate.
ContactMusic.com is reporting that the late King of Pop left over 100 unreleased finished songs – some that were left off his record breaking album, Thriller. The album scheduled for a November release is said to contain collaborations from such stars as Akon, Will.i.am, and Ne-Yo. With such an avid fan base, the King of Pop’s November release should be a great seller and many are curious about how the King of Pop hook up with the hip-hop artists will fare.
I have recently seen the Michael Jackson final footage of his rehearsals for the concerts he was scheduled to perform in England before his untimely death – and one can objectively see that he was in top form. MJ’s voice still had the strength and his honeysuckle voice still thrilled and bear in mind that this was live.
I can only imagine Michael’s voice with an assist, not that he ever needed any, from the producing skills of Will. i.am. I was not a fan of MJ, but I recognize that he was one in a million talent and if Tupac can rule the airways from the grave, I have no doubt that Michael will do the same.
Until November then, when our ears will be tickled again by the King of Pop’s mellifluous voice.
