Michael Jackson announces album plan
Apr 19, 2006, 15:28 GMT
Michael Jackson has started recording his first album for five years - in a bid to re-launch his flagging career.
The eccentric star - who recently signed a record deal with Two Seas Records, the label of Bahrain Prince Abdulla Hamad Alkhalifa - is currently in the studio working on new material.
Jackson, who was acquitted of child sex abuse charges last year, hopes the LP will finally let him put the turmoil of the last few years behind him. In a statement, the 'Billie Jean' singer - who has been residing in the Middle Eastern country since his acquittal last year - said: 'I am incredibly excited about my new venture and enjoying being back in the studio.' The album will be the artist's first since 2001's 'Invincible' and is set for release next year. Jackson has hired the man responsible for the Crazy Frog phenomenon to mastermind his comeback. Guy Holmes, chairman of Gut Records, has been hired by the singer to be his manager and will also be the new CEO of Two Seas Records. Holmes has presided over music releases by a host of top artists, including Tears For Fears and Tom Jones, bit his biggest success was the ringtone-inspired Crazy Frog hit single, 'Axel F', last year.Copyright 2006 BANG Media International

Even if the new album is good, I won't buy it or listen to it. I refuse to support pedophile music.

this will be an interesting do or die, all or nothing project. if michael hits a home run, his past will recede into history. if he bombs....its all over for good.
give the guy a break.. I think it would be a good release..and if it is good I would buy it
Michael should have spent time in the studio, instead of time in the Ranch with the little boys. What he should really be doing is spending time in the Big House with the Big Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is a sad mess that needs to spend time in a mental institution, not a recording studio. Poor choices have lead him to what he has left, of what he once was. I for one will not support such a strange, messed up MAN. So many of you forget what he SHOULD look like, and how a MAN should act...........not having sleepovers with little boys!
Oh for god's sake everyone leave Michael alone, if you can't say something positive, do us all a favour and keep it shut, I anticipate Michael will do well with a new release as he shouldnt feel as tied up as he did with sony:D
Maybe he could do a duet with R Kelly.
How Quick we are to judge a man that has given joy to the majority of the world. Nobody ever stops to think of all the trials and tribulations He has had to endure and this is only in his childhood. So yes maybe does seem a little strange but wouldn't you be to if you lived your life in the spotlight. So why don't some of you try having a dual perspective and putting yourself in anothers shoes to see it from thier end.
Oh Michael, You left your true faith for your fruity ,self oriented lifestyle and now the 'big come back'. Sorry fame leads also to the grave and is fleeting . Go enjoy your life and give up the 'big comeback' idea -you are a faded rose.
The man is a money maker and unfortunately a big money spender, surrounded by other money spenders, who claim to have his best interest at hand. It is they who wish to cash in one last time.
i have always maintained that with the beatles back catalogue under his belt tha the way back would be to record and album of beatles songs. So many to choose from and a ready made market of millions of beatles fans, then record a new album. Imagine michael jackson singing imagine, strawberry fields, a day in the life, i am the walrus and in my life.
