The information about the album was only recently revealed by sources close to the late pop star.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The following world exclusive article comes from the column of Roger Friedman:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Readers of my old column will recall that I reported on November 19, 2007 that Jackson spent three months with the Cascio family in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey after decamping from a Northern Virginia home he\u2019d been renting courtesy of then manager Raymone Bain.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson, his kids, nanny and tutor landed on the Cascio doorstep at the end of the summer of 2007 and stayed until November 7th. During that time Michael was not idle, as some thought. He recorded at least a dozen tracks with Eddie Cascio, who is also known as Angel.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m told that Jackson\u2019s manager and adviser, Frank DiLeo, knew that Jackson was working on a new album. DiLeo and the Cascios all declined to comment for this article.<\/p>\n<p>The song titles that I\u2019m aware of include: \u201cWater,\u201d a song Michael actually sang a little bit of in the movie, \u201cThis is It\u201d (Jackson fans have commented on this on fan blogs), plus \u201cBreaking News,\u201d and \u201cBurn Tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to one source who\u2019s heard the material, Michael\u2019s vocals are \u201cperfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The question now, of course, is what happens next. The Jackson estate just signed a record deal with Sony Music that could be worth $200 million, but it includes re-releases of previously recorded music, live albums, and an album of unreleased songs that were in the Sony vaults or recorded during Jackson\u2019s contracted time with the label.<\/p>\n<p>That deal does not include newly discovered material. This could mean that other record companies could bid for the collection of songs.<\/p>\n<p>Eddie Cascio, who\u2019s 28, is the second oldest son of Dominick (Sr.) and Connie Cascio, who were friends of Jackson since the 1990s, Dominick Cascio Sr. met Jackson in 1984-85 when he was the general manager at the Helmsley Palace Hotel in New York City. Jackson recognized the Cascios immediately as a \u201cnormal\u201d family, and quickly befriended them. Since Jackson\u2019s death, the Cascios have been frequent visitors at Katherine Jackson\u2019s home in Encino, California.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Jackson reciprocated the Cascios\u2019 hospitality with enormous generosity. Although the Cascios were not named in Jackson\u2019s will, the song tracks should prove to be multi-million dollar bonanza\u2014and a lasting gift to people whom he really considered family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.showbiz411.com\/2010\/05\/02\/exclusive-michael-jackson-recorded-a-new-album-in-2007\">CLICK TO READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.showbiz411.com\/2010\/05\/02\/exclusive-michael-jackson-recorded-a-new-album-in-2007\">Roger Friedman<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Jackson recorded a whole new album of material in the fall of 2007.
