Unreleased Michael Jackson Songs Could Surface
25 Jul
Summary
- Ne-Yo has 6-8 unreleased Michael Jackson songs from 2008.
- Jaafar Jackson, who played his uncle, may record the tracks.
- The songs were intended for a comeback album before Jackson's death.
R&B artist Ne-Yo has revealed details about unreleased songs he co-wrote with Michael Jackson in 2008. Approximately six to eight tracks were created for a potential comeback album, but Jackson's untimely death prevented their official recording.
These songs remain in Ne-Yo's archive, with one recent suggestion being that Jaafar Jackson, who portrayed his uncle in the biographical film 'Michael,' could record them. Ne-Yo shared that while his own vocals are currently on the recordings, he feels they were written specifically for Jackson and thus does not feel right releasing them as his own.
The original plan was for the songs to be recorded after Jackson's 'This Is It' tour. Ne-Yo recalled their collaborative process, where Jackson would provide feedback on lyrics and song structure. The potential release of these tracks is still under consideration, with Ne-Yo contemplating various options, including charity initiatives or even offering them to other family members like Janet Jackson.
