Michael Jackson’s new album is coming and Rob Stringer, chairman of Sony Music’s Columbia Epic Group, who is overseeing the King of Pop’s legacy, is believed to have been hugely impressed by the quality of material when he first heard the tracks.
The reason the album has yet to be given a release date is because Sony is trying to track down all the musicians and collaborators who need crediting. The music giant needs to avoid the kind of litigation that marked Michael Jackson’s final years.
Sources say the melodies and hooks on the songs are strong and show a maturity in Jackson, who was nervous about letting the world hear his work and worried that unfinished tracks would leak.
The singer left vocal ideas as voicemail messages to trusted associates who would piece the tracks together.
Sony is set on getting the record out for Christmas.
With thanks to Will Fox.
