Rap-Up.com || New Michael Jackson Album Due Dec. 14

The King of Pop is back. Over a year after Michael Jackson unexpectedly passed away, Epic Records and the Estate of Michael Jackson are gearing up to release his highly-anticipated new album Michael, composed of newly-completed songs.

The cover artwork, an oil painting by artist Kadir Nelson, displays some of the key moments and important people throughout the late legend’s life.

In anticipation of the project’s December 14 release, a teaser will appear tomorrow on MichaelJackson.com, while fans can hear the first single “Breaking News” on Monday, November 8. The never-before-heard tune, recorded in New Jersey in 2007, will stream on the site for one week.

To be honest, I didn’t really like the cover… doesn’t feel like an official MJ album cover to me… doesn’t feel right. And what’s with the name just being MICHAEL? I mean, no subtitle or nothing.

1. They are going to be cashing on his name forever. Its like their getting free money. They are not working..they are not doing anything productive. They are just getting some demos, add someone else new vocals, add a updated beat, and just put it together. Its so sad.

2. Fans like me are going to eat this up…just like they want us to do. I hate the fact their doing this but…its michael…its like smoking…you know its bad for you but you do it anyway.

3. This cover and title is not him. We all know Michael is selfless. He would never plaster himself all over his cover and title it Michael…smh.

4. Ciara better push her album back more lol.
