On Tuesday we got to see a video interview with Rodney Darkchild Jerkins where he talked a bit about a new album of unreleased Michael Jackson music that would be released soon. Today we are learning a bit more about that as-yet-untitled album … even tho we don’t know what the disc will be called or what songs will make the cut, we do know that it is scheduled for release in November of this year:

A new Michael Jackson album featuring previously-unreleased songs is set to be released in November. The as-yet-untitled posthumous LP is set to feature 10 songs from sessions recorded during his peak in the 80s right up to his recording sessions with Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am in 2006 … “There are a couple of songs we recorded for the ‘Bad’ album that we had to cut that are just sensational,” DiLeo said. Last year, a pair of previously-unreleased songs, ‘Another Day’ and ‘A Place With No Name’, surfaced. Rodney Jerkins, who co-produced Jackson’s 2001 album ‘Invincible’, revealed that he was working on the collection. The album will be the first in a 10-album, seven-year deal the Jackson estate agreed with Sony BMG in March 2010.

A November release it timed PERFECTLY for the Xmas shopping season … so it makes total sense. To be honest, a collection of unreleased songs that spans a time period from the late 80′s to the mid 00′s prolly won’t have any sort of cohesion … it sounds like it’ll just be a collection of songs that don’t necessarily go together. I’m not sure that a title is very important … but I am dying to see the tracklist. I’m also very curious to hear these “sensational” songs that didn’t make the cut for the Bad album. I hope we’ll get more concrete news soon … if the album is due out in November, the first single could be released as early as September.
