The new Michael Jackson record deal with Sony Music has taken the world by storm, with anticipation simply overwhelming. However, details of the release of new material was reported back in November 2009.
Sony Music and other labels already have big plans ready in their kitty to cash in on the ” Michael Jackson Mania ” that is rising all over the world to an record breaking extent, especially after the release of ” This Is It “.
Reportedly both Sony and Universal Music are the front runners in the bidding for Michael Jackson’s unreleased materials , most of which the singer himself wrote and composed after the release of his last album Invincible in 2001. Jackson reportedly wanted a new album with most songs written and composed by himself , as he was quoted telling the same during a Music Award event. “If Sony gets the rights, then fans will have a tough time .it is so because Sony will repackage old songs with one or two new songs ,but if some other company like Universal or Warner gets the rights to release – Jackson’s new music ,then Michael Jackson fans will be the biggest gainer, because the new label means the fans will get only new songs as the rights of the old songs catalogue of Michael are still with Epic / Sony Music. But still , Sony has an upper hand in the bidding due to the strong bond between the company and Jackson’s executors John Branca and John Mc Clain.” Says an Insider of the music industry.
the bigger surprise for the fans will be on later part of 2010 ,when one label or the other will release Michael Jackson’s unreleased songs ,which were in the making from 2001.
The insiders predict that the new album is most likely to be released on Jackson’s 52nd Birthday ,that’s on 29th August 2010.
