    Billboard: Michael Jackson's New Album Out Dec. 14

    "Michael," the Michael Jackson album comprised of original material recorded by the King of Pop before his death, will be released Dec. 14 on Epic Records in conjunction with his estate, it was announced today (Nov. 4).


    The first full track from the album, entitled "Breaking News," will premiere Monday on michaeljackson.com and stream for one week. The song was originally recorded in 2007 in New Jersey and completed after the singer's death last year, according to the announcement.


    A teaser for "Michael" will launch on the site tomorrow; the album will also become available for pre-order online within the next 24 hours.


    The album cover for "Michael" (pictured above), which was painted by Kadir Nelson, depicts the singer in several of his most iconic looks, from "Off the Wall" and "Thriller" to "Bad" and "Smooth Criminal."


    Issuing "Michael" on Dec. 14 insures that the album is available for what is traditionally the biggest sales week of the year, the one leading up to Christmas. Last year's "This Is It"scanned 373,000 units in its debut week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album's sales total stands at 1.6 million units.


    So far this year, Jackson has scanned 1.5 million units. In 2009, the year he died, Jackson albums scanned 8.3 million units in the U.S.


    "Michael" is the second major Michael Jackson project to be announced this week. On Wednesday, 2011-2012 tour dates for Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, a Cirque du Soleil production based on Jackson's music and career, were unveiled. The show begins its North American run next Oct. 2 in Montreal and plays 14 mostly Canadian cities in 2011, with 13 more dates announced for 2012. Additional cities and multi-night engagements are expected to be announced.


    "It's really just a celebration of the man and his legend and his immortality," director Jamie King said of the production. We get to go inside Michael's head...inside this place of beauty and serenity and peace and learn all the secrets that are Michael -- his loves, things that he believed in -- and take this fantastic journey together. It really is based off of things we all really know of Michael."

    Reuters: New Michael Jackson album gets December release


    Thu Nov 4, 9:49 pm ET


    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A new album of previously unheard Michael Jackson songs will be released on December 14, the first such release since the pop star died last year, his Sony Music label said on Thursday.


    Called simply "Michael," the album marks the latest commercial venture by Jackson's estate since the "Thriller" singer succumbed to a fatal overdose of prescription drugs in June 2009, aged 50.


    But apart from revealing the album's title, regal artwork, and the name of one track, "Breaking News," Sony Music is keeping a firm lid on the project.


    A spokeswoman declined to say how many tracks were on the album, reveal any other song titles, or indicate the extent of production work that was done after Jackson's death.


    The secrecy follows an embarrassing debacle last year when "This Is It," a new Jackson single touted as his first posthumous release, turned out to have been first recorded 18 years earlier under a different title by an obscure Puerto Rican singer. The song's co-writer, Paul Anka, threatened to sue Jackson's estate and was quickly assigned half the copyright.


    Jackson's commercial fortunes were on the wane long before his death, though grieving fans turned him into one of the biggest selling artists last year. His last studio album, "Invincible," was a commercial and critical disappointment in 2001. But a posthumous concert film and related soundtrack album, both also called "This is It," topped the worldwide charts last November.


    Sony said "Breaking News" was recorded at a friend's place in New Jersey in 2007 and "recently brought to completion." Beginning next Monday, it will be streamed for one week on the New Album from Michael Jackson: MICHAEL website.


    Other tracks were recorded at studios in Las Vegas and Los Angeles with various unidentified collaborators, Sony Music said. At the time of his death, Jackson was reported to be working with contemporary hitmakers like R&B star Akon and Lady Gaga collaborator RedOne.


    The album cover artwork features two naked cherubs placing a crown on Jackson's head against a mural depicting the singer throughout his career. It was created by painter Kadir Nelson.


    The executors of Jackson's estate have been busy extracting value from the singer's catalog, both to pay off his debts and to provide for his mother and children. Other projects in the works include a Jackson-themed Cirque du Soleil tour that will open in Montreal next October, and a dance videogame due in stores later this month.

    "Breaking News" is just a teaser to have the world attention. The first single will follow soon. I bet we'll have 2 MJ songs everywhere soon.


    (Breaking News) It is... a song about how the press always used Michael's name without really knowing him.


    PS. Things are happening like they were ready 15 days ago... so ... for those of you who believe this... when you'll preorder the album from I**** you'll have the first digital single to download... that's was the original plan... we'll see...

    You have to remember, the announcement was made late (approximately 4:30pm eastern) and that was 9-10pm in Europe. By the morning there will be more reports across Asia and Europe.


    In the USA there has been coverage from Billboard, Rolling Stone, Reuters, E-Online, Extra TV, TMZ, Entertainment Tonight, Canadian Press, USA Today, and Entertainment Weekly. I'd say ABC, CNN, and other large outlets will report it tomorrow.

    Zitat von Fluffisnoterm

    Er will damit sagen, dass er auf Lieder von 2007- heute hofft.


    @Been Told: Mach Dir keine Sorgen, das Album ist 'akutell'. Steht hier irgendwo.


    Zitat von JAM24

    Bei dem neuen Cover befürchte ich auch, dass sich aktuelles Material auf "Breaking News" beschränken wird und die anderen Songs deutlich älter sind. Aber ich lasse mich gerne positiv überraschen! An das Cover muss ich mich noch gewöhnen...


    Zitat von Phr3ak

    Er meint damit, dass er hofft, dass nicht nur "alte" Songs auf Album kommen, sondern auch Werke aus Michael letzten Jahren. :oberlehrer


    Zitat von Chris4MJ

    na das auch nur "altes" Material drauf ist natürlich


    Ich meinte damit, dass die Musik genauso "gewollt aber nicht gekonnt" klingt, wie das Cover aussieht.

    Ich muss sagen, dass mir das Cover doch sehr gefällt. Zum einen erinnert es sehr an Dangerous (eines meiner absoluten Lieblingsalben), zum anderen denke ich, dass es auch Michael sehr gefallen hätte (wenn man mal seine etlichen Gemälde, die von Neverland bekannt sind, betrachtet).


    Das einzige was mich stört ist, dass mit den Bildern Michael wieder mal zu stark auf die 80er reduziert wird, da leider neuere Bilder (90er bis This Is It) fehlen. Das hätte man besser lösen können. Zumal die Bilder, wenn es stimmt und das Album größtenteils aus Material aus den letzten Jahren besteht, ja im Wiederspruch zu dem Inhalt des Albums (neue Songs) stehen!

    Zitat von Been Told

    Ich meinte damit, dass die Musik genauso "gewollt aber nicht gekonnt" klingt, wie das Cover aussieht.


    Nun ja - ganz so hart würde ich es nicht ausdrücken :P
    Als ich das Cover zuerst sah war mein erster Gedanke: "nöööö, doch nicht schon wieder 'ne Fake-Meldung".


    Vermutlich werden wir werden das Cover und auch das Album "Lieben lernen" :)

    Zitat

    An Sony Asia executive said to his staff in a mail:



    Dear All,
    I did listen to some of the new tracks from this forthcoming new album during my Miami meeting. I would say the quality of these new tracks are great and far beyond my expectation. Therefore, I urge you all to well prepared on this new release in order to give it a BIG BANG on both physical or digital release. Thank you.


    muhaharrr...was soll er auch sonst sagen...dass schrott drauf is...? :lmao

    Zitat von TLC

    Das einzige was mich stört ist, dass mit den Bildern Michael wieder mal zu stark auf die 80er reduziert wird, da leider neuere Bilder (90er bis This Is It) fehlen. Das hätte man besser lösen können.


    Wer weiß, was rechts im Bild noch folgt...nach der Statue usw...


    In Anbetracht dieser Tatsache erscheint es mir schon stark überzogen, dass sie im MJJC Friedman Artikel verboten haben bzw. das posten dieser. :kicher

    Rolling Stone Magazine: New Michael Jackson Album Out December 14


    First single off 'Michael' released next week


    Nov 04, 2010 5:16 PM EDT


    After nearly a year and a half of rumors and false reports, Epic Records have finally announced plans for their first collection of posthumous Michael Jackson material—though most details remain frustratingly unclear. What's known for sure is that the album will be called Michael and will be released on December 14. A teaser for the project will be posted on MichaelJackson.com on Friday, and on Monday, a full song from the album called "Breaking News" will stream on the site for one week.


    The album cover was created by painter Kadir Nelson on 2009, featuring depictions of key moments and people from the singer's life.


    According to a press release, Breaking News was recorded in New Jersey in 2007 and was "recently brought to completion." That would seem to place it among the songs that Jackson recorded with producer Eddie Cascio—songs that have recently been the subject of many rumors.


    Earlier this week, TMZ reported that Michael's children believe that it is not their father singing on the Cascio tracks. Among other reported evidence, Jackson's son Prince was reportedly in the house during the sessions and has said the recorded versions don't match what he heard. However, Jackson's estate says sound experts have deemed the voice on the recordings to be Jackson's; people involved with the project reportedly have said the children are being "manipulated" by Jackson's mother and others who don't want the album released.


    While no further confirmed details have been released, Showbiz 411's Roger Friedman reported that four of the forthcoming album's 10 or 12 songs will come from the Cascio sessions, and that some of the other tracks will be outtakes from Jackson albums, along with a Paul Anka song called "Love Never Felt So Good" from the session that produced the title track for the This Is It concert-rehearsal film.


    At the time of his death, Jackson had been working for years on a follow-up to 2001's Invincible, recording tracks with Lenny Kravitz, Akon, Will.I.Am, and others, some of which have leaked in unfinished form. Producer Rodney Jerkins said in July he was expecting to begin work on the album imminently, and has been reported to be doing so in recent weeks. Former Sony head Tommy Mottola has said there are "dozens" of unreleased tracks that could see the light of day at some point. And earlier this year, reports surfaced that a collector found more than 200 unreleased Jackson 5 tracks in a warehouse full of Jackson family memorabilia.

    Da geht es halt nach Sympathie. Sicherlich hat Friedman auch des Öfteren schon Müll geschrieben, vor allem ist er ein Arsch, aber er hat einfach Kontakte, die sonst nur wenige zu haben scheinen...

    Ich bin ehrlich gesagt über diese Schwarzmalerei etwas enttäuscht.


    Das man vielleicht eine kritische Einstellung hinsichtlich des Covers und der Musik hat, ist die eine Seite. (Musik, die lediglich ein winziger Ausschnitt aus dem Album sein wird ... hoffe ich zumindest)
    Aber ihr könnt einem dadurch aber auch die Vorfreude versauen. :sad


    Ich werde mich mit meinen Äußerungen jedenfalls zurückhalten, bis ich das Album wirklich in Händen halte und es mit meinen eigenen Ohren gehört habe.
    Und darauf freue ich mich schon jetzt tierisch. ;D :blumen
