I almost accidentally titled this post “Breaking Bad.” Hear why: breakingnews.michaeljackson.com.
Recorded in the New Jersey home of Eddie Cascio (who?) in 2007, the track comes from next month’s LP of all “new” songs MICHAEL. From the press release:
The creative process never stopped for the King of Pop who was always planning for his next album; unbeknownst to many fans around the world Michael Jackson was writing and recording songs continuously everywhere from a friend’s home in New Jersey to studios in Las Vegas and Los Angeles with a small group of handpicked collaborators. Now, through the unique stories that will be told about the songs that comprise MICHAEL, fans will get mind-blowing insight into how this artist worked and a chance to hear the songs he most recently created along with tracks that Michael had a desire to bring to fruition.
That’s the album cover atop this post. It’s an oil painting commissioned by Kadir Nelson last year. (UPDATE: It no longer includes the Prince logo.)
“Breaking News” is already controversial. MJ’s kids and sister La Toya doubt its authenticity. Sony says it’s legit, having done voice authentication tests according to TMZ. Of course, TMZ are idiots, but either way this should get interesting. Sham on.

I kind of like this song. It’s a bit annoying in places, but yeah.
seriously?
I f****ng love MJ and his music, but I can’t fight the feeling that his estate (and sony records) are gonna ride the S**t out of this gravy train, Tupac style.
This is bad…the production is godawful. And who wants to hear another MJ song ranting about the paparazzi? Not a good sign of things to come.
If it’s truth in the artist’s eyes, I don’t care, as long as this is really him. A singer should sing about things that reflect him personally. Breaking News was supposed to be on Invincible, and was canceled. I just hope some of these songs are really him.
