New Michael Jackson Album of Unreleased Material Coming in November
It's been well over a year since the King of Pop passed, but it looks as though we haven't heard the last of him. After last year's blockbuster album and film, This Is It, Michael Jackson's team began scouring the star's vaults for unheard and unreleased material. According to Rolling Stone, there will be a new album of Michael Jackson songs released this coming November, just in time for the holidays. Don't think it's solely from his later years either, as Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo quick to point out that there's a treasure trove of tunes from his creative peak in the '80s:
An all-new Michael Jackson collection featuring 10 unreleased songs will be released this November, a rep for the Jackson estate exclusively tells Rolling Stone. At the time of his death Jackson reportedly left hard drives filled with unheard music, much of it recorded during the King of Pop's '80s peak.
Of course, this is only the beginning of a posthumous release run that will certainly give 2Pac a run for his money:

As Rolling Stone previously reported, the album of never-before-heard Jackson songs will be the first in a 10-project, seven-year deal the Jackson estate inked with Sony Music in March 2010 — a $250 million pact that will also include reissues of Jackson's classic albums, new greatest hits sets, a DVD collection of all Michael's music videos and possibly a Cirque du Soleil show.
Though the contents of the actual album are unknown at this time, we'll have more on the tracklist, cover art, and more as it develops.
