Songs Will Be Released If He Wants Them To

Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas had worked with Michael Jackson on several songs. After Michael’s death, he said he would never release these songs because they were not finalized by Michael. Another young star, Akon, also said he would prefer to scrap the songs he made with Michael rather than put them on the market with his own personal taste.

Akon collaborated on “Hold My Hand,” which had been finalized by Michael, for the album MICHAEL released after the King of Pop’s death. Michael had intended to release this song as the first single from his new album. The song leaked and was never officially released. With the release of an album after Michael’s death, there was an opportunity to release “Hold My Hand” as the first single from that album.

But Will.i.am was a stubborn opponent of releasing the album because he believed that an album on which Michael didn’t give his final approval would have no value and would be disrespectful to Michael’s name. In the end, the album was released with a lot of noise and opposition, and it reached number one worldwide.

Now Will.i.am has distanced himself from his previous stubborn stance and says there is someone who can make him release the songs he recorded together with Michael.

In 2006, Will.i.am traveled with Michael to Ireland, where they recorded a number of songs in a studio. He says: We became friends. I don’t want to be a opportunist.

Will.i.am says that many people have asked him so far to allow the songs he recorded with Michael to be released, but…

If Michael’s mother calls me and tells me to do it, then I’ll obey.
