Ne-Yo makes songs by Michael Jackson

Ne-Yo was one of the young people who, in recent years, collaborated with Michael Jackson. He wrote a few songs for Michael, but he said that after Michael’s death he didn’t know what to do with them. Now it has been reported that he will record these songs as a tribute and memorial to the music and dance legend of the world. "I first met Michael Jackson in New York. Someone told me that Michael was interested in my music and wanted to talk to me about his new album. We met at a friend’s house. He was truly a kind person—though I’m not saying that because of the feelings he had for my work. He talked about music and his love for it. After a few hours we went our separate ways, and I was walking away saying that I had sat with a legend and spoken with him." "I never got the chance to record the songs in the studio with him. All of them only have my voice on them. They’re all demos. We were supposed to go to the studio after the tour (This Is It) to record Michael’s vocals." "These songs are sitting safely in the archive of my work, and I always thought I should do something with them. An idea came to me to go to the studio and record a memorial album for Michael Jackson. I will sing these songs in the best way I can, and I will tell people around the world that these are the songs that would have become beautiful with his voice if Michael hadn’t left us so soon."
