Timbaland Working on Michael Jackson Songs

mj-vic-11.png After turbulent days in the world of Michael Jackson — with news of new song releases and the leak of an unauthorized track featuring Michael with Justin Bieber's voice — word is now spreading that Timbaland is being added to the list of producers working on Michael's songs. Timbaland, whose real name is Timothy Z. Mosley, is an American composer, producer, and rapper. Timbaland, who never had the chance to work with Michael during his lifetime, has produced songs for artists such as Missy Elliott and Justin Timberlake. DJ Freestyle Steve, Timbaland's official DJ, said he recently heard some of Michael's songs that Timbaland is working on, and they are extraordinary — the world will enjoy hearing them. DJ Steve: "Last night I heard some of the King's songs that Timbaland is working on! Wow! Just know that Timbaland's work with MJ's vocals has been incredible. The world will love it." Michael's fans are deeply concerned about his beautiful songs being ruined at the hands of various producers. Some of them, upon hearing the news, directed a wave of criticism at DJ Steve. The DJ then wrote on Twitter that people should try to get the facts straight before judging, explaining: "Loyal MJ fans think I had a hand in the Justin Bieber track." He then joked: "Is Twitter a safe place to stay? I'm not looking for trouble." Teddy Riley had also said some time ago that Michael's unfinished songs might be released in an album featuring collaborations with some of the best voices in the industry. Michael had not fully completed some of his songs. He would record the first verse and the chorus but not the second verse. This was Michael's way of testing songs to see whether he liked them or felt inclined to continue working on them. He had left many projects unfinished in this way — something he himself acknowledged in a 2007 Ebony interview. So there are songs Michael never developed a strong liking for and left half-finished. Will fans embrace the idea of releasing these songs in a multi-vocalist album? At the same time, it has been said that there are many completed songs — such as "Slave to the Rhythm" — that will not need to be sung by anyone else. Source: eMJey.com / DJ Freestyle Steve Twitter
