On Monday, Epic Records unveiled that Michael’s new album is going to hit markets in coming November, containing none other than alternate versions of oldies goodies and latest found outtakes.
Actually, “Immortal”, one of the soundtracks for the show, “Cirque du Soleil”, will be debuted on Sunday "The Immortal World Tour". This upcoming album includes an alternative version of the 5 hits by Michael, “ABC” along with a complete set of remixes and mash-ups. The first ever posthumous, by Michael in 2010, has attained the rank of 3 on Billboard 200 in just 3 week short time period.
The latest stage show and tour comprise a little over 60 songs by Michael, whereas the album launch will be holding 15 songs or 22 songs in exclusive album, which will be available at stores by 22nd of November.
Cirque Production Director, Jamie King, was interviewed by Billboard.com, who stated, "the big, iconic songs are there, with some other songs mixed and matched throughout. There's some younger Michael in there as well, 'Ben,' the Motown stuff...It's a mixed bag of tricks in terms of songs. It's a music-driven show, so we're making sure the music is the narrative that drives us and takes us on the journey."
Michael had a vast collection of jewels when he died in 2009, which are yet to be released. “Immortal” is fully supported by his estate, being managed by attorney Howard Weitzman as well, from whom Billboard came to know that the Jackson estate is currently working on many other different projects besides Cirque. It is also rumored that the 25th anniversary of the album “Bad”, next year, may be honored with an exclusive package, same as “Thriller 25” in 2008, whereas a complete series of yet-to-be released stuff to follow “Michael” compilation is also being looked at.
Weitzman mentions, “It's a pretty vibrant estate in the sense that it continues to generate not just catalog opportunities but plenty of other ideas.”
