Michael Jackson back in the Studio (New York Post)

Zitat von Screamlouder

Naja Will hat dazu nicht viel gesagt...nur halt das die ganzen "Feature-Rumors" für Songs about Girls halt nicht zutrafen, weil er diese Leute erst auf Black Einstein haben will. Also Nas usw...und dann och Michael, so wie es scheint...damit könnte die Single im nächsten Monat Will I Am und Michael zusammen bedeuten...Wäre ja zumindest mal was....:D

Wäre sicherlich klasse, aber ich bezweifle es noch ein wenig. Will.I.Am hat gerade erst mit "Heartbreaker" die zweite Single aus seinem ersten Album veröffentlicht, und dann schon nächsten Monat die erste Single aus seinem zweiten Album? Naja, unmöglich ist nichts.

Auch Akon's und Ne-Yo's neue Alben wurden ja aus unbekannten Gründen einige Monate nach hinten verschoben? Riecht ein wenig nach Michael Jackson, hoffen kann man ja ...

Zitat von Screamlouder

Das Black Eyed Peas-Album wird definitiv später erscheinen...;)

Ja, das denke ich wohl auch. Deutet alles darauf hin, dass dieses Album noch länger auf sich warten lässt.

Der Produzent "Steve Pageot" aus New York, der unter anderem schon mit Aretha Franklin, LL Cool J usw. zusammenarbeitete, und vor kurzen in einem Interview andeutete mit Michael Jackson eventuell zusammen arbeiten zu können, schrieb in den letzten Tagen folgendes auf seiner MySpace-Seite:

MySpace.com - STEVE PAGEOT- PRODUCER/MUSICIAN/COMPOSER/ENGINEER - NEW YORK, MONTREAL, New York - Hip Hop / R&B / Classical - www.myspace.com/stevepageot

Talking with Grammy Winner Steve Pageot

Gold and Platinum plaques, a Grammy award and negotiations to work on Michael Jackson’s next studio album - these are credentials anybody would be more than proud of. But this is just the tip of the iceberg for producer/engineer/musician/composer, Steve Pageot. He’s definitely making major moves and is a mogul in the making.

Work aside, what artists are you currently listening to for your own pleasure?

Right now, Michael Jackson. I love listening to Michael, you know. Actually, I just signed a management deal with Michael Jackson’s managers, Frank DiLeo and Terry Harvey. So they’re managing me now, and we’re in talks to bring me into the studio for Michael Jackson’s next studio album. I’ve been listening to a lot of James Brown lately and Stevie Wonder. I’m going back into the old school. There’s always something you can learn from it. You gotta know what happened in the past to go into the future.

Michael Jackson: New Single Next Month?

May 20 2008, 01:27AM

Many rumors have been circulating throughout the media in recent weeks and months with regards to Michael Jackson's forthcoming studio album and musical endeavors. In February, Akon told Rolling Stone that he recorded a "global smash" single with Michael Jackson titled "Hold My Hand." The track was initially slated to be released in March or April of this year in anticipation of Akon's new album "Acquitted" in May, but these plans have all been delayed for numerous reasons. In March, MTV reported that, although the song had reportedly been recorded by the two, various "legal hurdles" might still have to be cleared before the anticipated single (feat. Michael Jackson) can get green-lit. Tapemasters Inc. released a short demo version of "Hold My Hand" (with Akon-only vocals) back in January, and a lengthier version of the same demo in May. Whether or not Michael Jackson's vocals will appear on the final track or not remains uncertain.

Also, ever since news broke earlier this month that Colony Capital, LLC. had taken over the loan on Neverland, rumors about Michael Jackson possibly performing in Las Vegas were once again renewed. As columnists began connecting the dots, they discovered that Colony Capital, LLC. in fact owns the Las Vegas Hilton complex. This, combined with the statement by Michael Jackson that he was "in discussions with Colony and Tom Barrack with regard to the Ranch and other matters that would allow me to focus on the future," only increased this speculation. Also, one week prior to any news about the loan takeover by Colony Capital, on May 2nd, Norm Clarke of Las Vegas Review Journal explained that according to one of his sources, "Jackson has been in talks with a local hotel boss who wants to make a major statement." Norm subsequently speculated that Michael Jackson would be "launching a comeback on the 40th anniversary of Elvis Presley's historic comeback in 1969 at the Hilton." None of these Las Vegas rumors have been confirmed by Michael Jackson's camp, however.

More recently, rumors have surfaced that will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas (who has been collaborating with Michael Jackson since 2006) is going to feature Michael Jackson on a track off of his forthcoming studio album. In an interview with AllHipHop.com back in September of 2007, will.i.am had announced that his second studio album, "Black Einstein," had already been completed but prior to releasing it he was going to focus his attention on his 2007 album release, "Songs About Girls." According to will.i.am, "Black Einstein" will feature collaborations from numerous artists including at least Kanye West, Nas, Slick Rick, and Common. No release date has been announced for will.i.am's next album.

Finally, gossip columnist Robin Leach of Vegas Luxe Life--who, in 2007, was granted exclusive access to sit in on a dinner between Michael Jackson and Simon Fuller (of "American Idol" fame)--today reported briefly that Michael Jackson "will be releasing a new single next month," although no additional details were reported. Promotion of Michael Jackson's "Thriller 25" is also expected to continue throughout much of the year, with an official 136-page book being released on June 23, 2008. Thriller 25 remains one of the top 10 best-selling albums of 2008, with an estimated 2-3 million copies sold worldwide.

Stay tuned...
