Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am says any new album put out by ...king
of pop Michael Jackson will be relevant because his music is universal.
The
songwriter and vocalist is working on Jackson's new album, which is due
for release early next year, and says Jackson is in a unique position
as an artist.
"Michael Jackson is probably one of the only
artists that whenever he puts out a record it will still be relevant," will.i.am told reporters in Sydney. "No matter where you go in
the world they're playing Michael Jackson's music, and no matter what
artists come out they're going to be doing Michael Jackson moves and
emulating what he did. "So that's hard when you're going to make new music with him." The hip hop star said people should listen to Jackson's new music with an open mind. "We ... treat Michael Jackson as a new artist and just make songs with infectious melodies," he said. "The songs will speak for themselves." But he wouldn't give away any hints on how the songs sound. "I am sworn to silence or Michael is known to get pretty violent," he joked. ...Sourrce: nineMSN Tagged:will.i.am
