More news from Will I AM on MJ´s album! At the MidemNet in Cannes, the start of one of the biggest music fairs in the world. Singer, songwriter, producer and head of marketing of Musicane, Will-I-Am from the Black Eyed Peas (see photo), got a few questions about working together with Michael Jackson. He told the international press the album "will be released this year" and he will help co-produce the album.
Eventhough he did not want to start only talking about the album or Michael Jackson, because he thinks it is up to "Michael Jackson who should start talk about himself and his album", he told that the album contains a complete new style and way of music no one ever heard or done by anyone in the music industry before. It will put Michael Jackson back "as inventor of great legendary hit music". And Will-I-Am is happy to be part of this new project. "Michael Jackson is working day and night on this great, great record. I heard and see him in the studio and he is creating a masterpiece. A lot of people in the industry are involved or want to be involved. From producers to marketing people. Before the year is over, Michael Jackson is back on top of the charts" Will-I-Am told journalists in Cannes. He declined to talk more about it and should wait till the record will be released. In the evening he attended with singer Fergie of his band Black Eyed Peas the NRJ Awards at Palais de Festival.   It´s gonna come out soon!"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

I´ll be the happiest if they really manage to release it this year. We all know Mike..

[Edited 1/31/07 1:52am] Actually, that's the thing. Most people seem to think Michael takes a long time to make music and often delays his releases (which is true for Invincible and a few GH packages he's released since then). But to me he's a real hard and fast worker. After Off The Wall (1979), he made Triumph, toured with his brothers, and still managed to release Thriller in '82. That's 3 years in which he made 2 albums and toured the US. After Thriller, he made Victory, toured with brothers, helped organised USA for Africa, filmed Caption EO, and managed to release Bad in '87. That's 5 years in which he made 2 albums, a film, a tour and a charity project. Dangerous was made in 3-4 years with a world tour in between. HIStory was made in 4-5 years with a world tour and a police investigation in between. Invincible was made in 3-4 years with a world tour and a the BOTDF remix album in between, but it was delayed until 2001 (even though it was pratically finished in '99). So that means if he started this album last year, and he hasn't been doing much, there's been no world tour, then he should definately have it out this year.

see the thing that i don't get with MJ is why when he decides to put out an album (after every 10 years or more) that he has to use producers that are "it" in the industry at that time. it makes him sound like he is trying too hard to capture the "now" audience while satifying his fans that have been with him for years. I just hope that this new album doesn't sound like an overproduced mess. [Edited 1/31/07 5:17am] I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

This is what Janet should have done more of and JD less of. But then Will starts talking about how great the record is anyway. I'm sure he probably can't contain his excitement but all I can think of is Rodney Jerkins. I don't get the need to use 'it' producers either. It's as if there's only a handful that everyone wants to work with--the same 5 to 10 hitmakers. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

william is sounding more and more like rodney jerkins, I agree! But I'm excited about the result anyhow. I hope to god mj knows that he has to make excellent music and not something all over the place without direction like invincible. | |

And even then at the end of the day, all it sounds like the hot producers had minimal input or creativity in the songs. It seems like all the songs Michael Jackson has made since "Thriller" -- regardless if the producer is Teddy Riley, R. Kelly or whoever -- all have same, oh-so-familiar cadence, theme and sound. THE TRAFFIC JAMMERS, The Org's house band: VAINANDY -- lead singer; NAJEE -- bass; THE AUDIENCE -- guitar; PHUNKDADDY -- rhythm guitar; ALEX de PARIS -- keyboards; Da PRETTYMAN -- keyboards; FUNKENSTEIN -- drums. HOLD ON TO YOUR DRAWERS! |

Yeah the key to this album is Michael not alienating a whole genre of his fans with this release, if this is going to turn into some RB/RAP guest artist hit parade then he's going to be in for a big surprise.

Back than he had all the time to work, I am sure that now he wants to spend some time with them as well so I am sure that slows things a bit.

Rodney Jerkins said the exact same thing about Invincible. these so-called "hot" producers always talk this B.S. when they produce an album,lol.The truth is,these guys are one-trick ponys.Why would anyone believe that Will.i.am can give Michael a completely new sound that's never been done before? | |

Well when you think about, it's very likely they will create something totally new and fresh.
You've got Michael Jackson. He's done soul, he's done pop, he's done rock. He's got a huge range of influences and a huge musical background. He has incorporated gospel and classical into some of his music. So he's an artist with a background in soul, who's music has been mostly pop/rock/soul with some dabbling in gospel, classical and other styles. Then you've got Will.I.Am. He's mostly a hip-hop artist. He's been trying for a fresh, new sound, and with BEP he has somewhat accomplished that on certain songs. He's a hip-hop artist and producer who wants to make different, exciting and innovative music. So what you end up with is an artist with the talent, influences and background to make innovative music, and a producer who wants to make innovative music. And when you've got someone who can, and some who wants to, then most likely, who will end up with something innovative. | |

He's not really innovative in the first place... this cd will be as safe as white bread. Space for sale... | |

Let´s wait and see guys. But I am definately looking forward to it. I miss him. And no matter how bad Invincible may have been, I´ll always enjoy Heaven Can wait, Butterlies, Break of dawn, Whatever happens and others..... I miss his melodies. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

I also love his melodies. Invincible does have good songs, but some of them could have been left off and others were too overproduced. I think a combination of songs from invincible and the cuts that made it onto the ultimate collection box set would have been a better album. For example, what possessed them to go with you are my life over fall again? | |

Haha, Michael Jackson with Matmos.
Damn you, Björk. Actually Prince with Matmos on a couple of tracks wouldn't be a bad idea. | |

Do you know what's the difference between Invincible and the new album? Prior to the release of Invincible, everybody was expecting a really good, really successful album. But with this new album, everybody is expecting a piece of crap that wont sell. Michael been known to prove people wrong. Remember Thriller? Before that came out, everyone was expecting it to bomb. It went on to sell over 100 million copies. | |

True, even Quincey thought it would only sell like 2 million. Michael went crazy! | |
