A new Michael Jackson album of 10 unreleased songs will be released in November, according to a news report from Rolling Stone. Jackson's manager, Frank DiLeo, told RS that he estimates that Jackson's vaults contain more than 100 completed and unreleased songs, including old tracks as well as more recent collaborations with Akon, Will.i.am and Ne-Yo."There are a couple of songs we recorded for the Bad album that we had to cut that are just sensational," DiLeo said.
Earlier this week, producer Rodney Jerkins also promised that unreleased material from the King of Pop was definitely on the way. "I'm about to work on an unreleased project that we're talking about doing right now. It's definitely going to come, but it takes time," he told VladTV. "You got to do a lot of the red tape but there's definitely going to be an unreleased Michael Jackson [album]. There's definitely going to be stuff to come and hopefully I'll be a part of that."
The timeline of November also stays on track with what was promised back in March, when the Jackson estate signed a new $250 million deal with Sony Music that calls for 10 projects over the next seven years. The projects will include unreleased songs, DVDs, video games, reissues of Jackson's classic albums and possibly even a Cirque du Soleil show.
