In life and now death, the name Michael Jackson denotes more than a musician, it denotes an industry.

It’s no surprise then that another project is being cooked up to add to the late icon’s catalogue.

The singer, who died of cardiac arrest on June 25th 2009 aged 50, was housed at Sony’s Epic Records for the vast majority of his career, and continues to be after his passing. ‘Michael’, the King of Pop’s first posthumous set, arrived in 2010 to much controversy (see: debate over legitimacy of vocals). Hoping to right those wrongs and restore the anticipation for “new Michael” that followed his death, label head L.A. Reid has called on hitmaker Timbaland.

Speaking with Diddy’s Revolt TV, the music maestro revealed that he has been tapped to work on the “big” project and dished on the pressure attached to working on fresh MJ.

Of the song, the singer confesses that the mid-tempo was inspired by a real life situation in which he was dating his manager’s ex-girlfriend. “{The song} just talks about the distractions and temptations and the infatuation that can have on a man when it comes to a woman”.
