It’s coming…
Good morning everybody! How are you all?
Yes, I’m blogging again – two in the space of two days, this hasn’t happened since the election. My lord, how long ago does that feel? So much has changed since then, but then again a lot hasn’t. But anyway, I’m not here to be all melancholy and depressed; I’m actually feeling pretty good this morning (despite a chronic hangover). I had the best night out last night since my final night in Harrogate, in spite of the fact I spent near enough £70! I’ve got to say Harrogate, York is slowly catching up.
Moving on, the title of this ramble is slightly ambiguous I know, which is why I’m going to explain myself now.
November is going to be a big month for music fans across the world, with the likes of Lady Gaga, Duffy, Ellie Goulding, Susan Boyle, Jamiroquai, Kanye West, Ne-Yo and Akon (this list goes on) all releasing new material, the charts are going to be flooded with great new songs and albums battling it out for the top spots. But there’s one artist whose release is quietly waiting in the shadows to take the world by storm…
The first posthumous release from no other than the King of Pop, Michael Jackson is rumoured to be released on 22nd/23rd November this year along with a 3-disc DVD set, entitled Vision. The package is believed to
include all of Michael’s videos spanning his career; a special treat for fans is the inclusion of the never-before-seen One More Chance video that was apparently shelved following the 2003 child molestation case. The title of the album is still
unknown although many in the fan community are speculating that it too will be named Vision. There is rumoured to be an announcement made sometime in the next week detailing track lists, titles etc but with many such ‘announcements’ promised in the past, it’s hard for many to see this as a genuine cause to be excited.
What we do know about the album (from sources inside the Sony and Jackson camp) is that the material is what they call, ‘mind-blowing’. Artists and producers such as Will.I.Am, Ne-Yo, RedOne, Akon and Lenny Kravitz (to name only a few) have all contributed and worked with Michael in the years leading up to his untimely death in June of last year. The leaked Kravitz/Jackson track Another Day has been re-worked to be included on the new record; according to Lenny’s official Twitter. It’s still unknown whether or not the Akon song Hold My Hand which was leaked online back in ’08 will make the final cut of the album, as many who have heard it say there is too little of Michael on the track – a solo version apparently exists.
Along with the new album and DVD set, Michael Jackson: The Experience video game is set for release around the same time. Taking ideas from the popular Guitar Hero, Lips and Just Dance games, developers intend to use the new Microsoft Kinect and Sony Move technologies along with the existing Wii format to allow players to perform Michael’s classic hits and dance routines on their screens.
And that’s it from me. Some of you may have found that utterly boring and if that’s the case then I do apologise. But I was in the mood to ramble and I did so. So there.
I need to go get showered and dressed and recover from this hangover. So. who knows? I may talk to you again later. Have a nice day.
Love to you all.
