After the statement from the Michael Jackson Estate in Las Vegas during the Diamond Celebrations, we knew already that no new album is in the pipeline.
With the success of “Don’t Matter to me” with Drake, the industry is looking at a different way to put Michael Jackson unreleased material out there!
Sony Music CEO, Rob Stringer, revealed over the week-end they are planning to release unreleased Michael Jackson in a more one-off songs rather than full albums.
“We’re constantly scouring the catalogue for ideas, but there are no plans at the moment to put any more full-fledged albums out.
“We are looking at one-off songs. In this streaming world, that works because it’s a track-based world. There are a few gems out there that we may unearth individually over the next months and years, but we’re also very, very careful to make sure the fanbase doesn’t feel like they’ve been asked yet again to buy material they have. We are very careful about repacking and extremely cognisant of the fanbase that has everything.”
“What’s interesting with Michael is that not all artists have managed to bridge the gaps from the physical world to the iTunes world to the streaming world, but with Michael that’s not the case.
His streaming numbers are incredible. The technology at the moment enables us to do something different and highlight different songs and create concepts that will lead people to a greater understanding of the wider catalogue of Michael’s work.”
By going the route they did with Drake, the Estate and Sony will keep the momentum of anticipation going among the general public and the fans.
Not ruling out the repackaging of existing material but Sony is looking at a clever and more sensible repackaging like the “Scream” compilation done last year for Halloween.
Maybe we should give them some ideas like a duet album, a Valentine’s album? LOL
