what is that? I can't watch youtube, unfortunately. could u give me other links please ?

I only know the youtube link. It's a new collaboration with him singing on a Akon song, called "Hold My Hand". It's kind of a RnB ballad.

The song is alright...I do like it though, but nothing very impressive. It's a surprise to hear him singing again though

He's kinda laid back on his vocal elements in that song though: almost no ""wooos" and "hiccups" (but he does do this one right at the beggining

)

I'm not a huge MJ fan, but I have to admit that he did sound very good in this. That was him singing the first verse, right?

Yeah, the very first verse is mostly sung by him, even though the very few first words/sentence you can hear in the beginning seems to be Akon's.

I KNOW! THE KING OF POP IS BACK!!!!!! It's composed by Konvict Muzik but Mike still brings all the magic to the track. I believe it has potential to be a worldwide smash.

I'm still anticipating his next album. Hopefully alongside the Akon/will i.am tracks there'll be some of his own compositions which are usually flawless.

I LOVE MJ MUSIC FROM ALL ERAS. I can't wait to listen to new stuff...

At least it's listenable. I'm not a big fan of MJ neither Akon but this sounds promissing.
I kinda like the stylized Pachebal Canon intro.

Shame he's working with Akon :/
His musical talent is beyond him.

I'd love a new album, purely with his music, I miss his voice, and his amazing songs.

ahha taht's very true. I guess he's a bit in the shadows, after all the controversy and problems that happened to him, but I guess he'll eventually sort things out and resurface. Let's wait.
