For months, Akon and will.i.am have been talking about working on new music with Michael Jackson for an upcoming album. Kanye West's name was just added to the mix last week. Turns out the new material is really remixed versions of tracks from the biggest-selling album of all time.
According to Fox411's Roger Freidman, the King of Pop is busy putting together a 25th anniversary edition of his "Thriller" album that will feature remixes of four tracks as CD extras. According to Jackson's new music attorney, Peter Lopez, those tracks are are "Billie Jean," "The Girl Is Mine," "Wanna Be Starting Something" and "Pretty Young Thing."
Friedman writes: "In addition, Lopez says that four tracks left off "Thriller" in 1983 will be included. Jackson's longtime producer Bruce Swedien, who no longer works with the pop star, told me that one track he knows of is a killer. It's called 'Don't Be Messin' Around.'"
According to Friedman, "Thriller 25" will be issued by Sony "because it's part of that catalog. But Jackson has no recording contract and, frankly, no interest from record companies."
