I\u2019ll tell you what: it\u2019s in limbo.<\/p>\n<p>Later this week we may get a sharper picture of what\u2019s going on. But this much I\u2019ve surmised from talks with various sources. The best material available really comes from those sessions with Eddie Cascio in New Jersey circa summer 2007. Some of the songs were already written by Eddie\u2019s brother Frank Cascio and recorded as demos with a local singer named Bobby Ewing. Michael put his vocals on them during that time he stayed with the Cascios in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>At first there was a lot of skepticism about the tracks. I\u2019m told that co-executor John McClain questioned whether the vocals were really Michael\u2019s, or faked. But they are Michael\u2019s. And they will be needed to round out the selections. Teddy Riley and a couple of other producers have worked to fix up the Cascio tracks for release.<\/p>\n<p>McClain was also working on tracks. It\u2019s unclear how these have gone. I\u2019m told, not so well. Many of them are outtakes from \u201cInvincible,\u201d an album that wasn\u2019t so good in the first place. And no one\u2019s bothered to approach Michael\u2019s engineer, Bruce Swedien, about tracks from \u201cThriller\u201d or \u201cBad\u201d he might have in his archives.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s truly confusion now in the inner circle about how to proceed. Sony is waiting for delivery but there\u2019s no album art or concept. As for a cover: I am told McClain commissioned one a la \u201cSgt. Pepper\u201d with a montage of drawings or caricatures of people in Michael\u2019s life whom he admired.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.showbiz411.com\/2010\/10\/19\/michael-jackson-album-of-new-songs-in-limbo?145affe8\">Showbiz411<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Showbiz411 are running the following story: &#8220;That album of Michael Jackson\u2018s unreleased material?
