 Toronto, Aug 1 (IANS) A posthumous album featuring 10 never-before-heard songs from the King of Pop Michael Jackson is set for a November release.
At the time of his death, Jackson had reportedly left hard drives filled with previously unreleased music.
His former manager Frank DiLeo estimates Jackson’s vaults contain more than 100 completed and unreleased songs, including collaborations with Akon, will.i.am and Ne-Yo.
The tracks are expected to be included in the forthcoming release, alongside songs Jackson recorded at the peak of his career in the 1980s, reports torontosun.com.
“There are a couple of songs we recorded for the ‘Bad’ album that we had to cut that are just sensational,” said DiLeo.

 Rich tributes were paid to legendary playback singer Mohammed Rafi on his 30th death anniversary today.
Over 9,000 musical tribute programmes were organised in July in memory of the singer, Binoo Nair, President of the Rafi Foundation, told PTI.
Rafi's fans visited his 'mazaar' at Bada Kabrastan in suburban Santacruz to pay homage.
The grave will not be dug, as planned earlier by mosque authorities, keeping in mind the sentiments of Rafi followers all over the world, Nair said.
Earlier this year the mosque authorities had said if Maharashtra Government did not allot additional land to be utilised as burial ground, they will have no other option but to dig the graves of prominent film personalities, including Rafi. "However, this will not happen," Nair said.
Rafi: Ek Faristha tha woh, a book in Hindi penned by Dhirendra Jain, was released today. Nair said the book will be translated in Marathi, Urdu and English by December 24, the birth anniversary of the singer.
Remembering him, Asha Bhosale tweeted, "Rafisaab aapki Himalaya ki tarah bulund awaz aur aapka namra swabhav hume phir na sunne na dekhne milega. Aapki bahut yaad ati hai." (your voice touched Himalayan heights...we miss you a lot)."

'Bhullshit' track from Khatta Meetha is causing heartburns |

Sunday, 11 July 2010 |
New Delhi: The new soundtrack "Bullshit" starring Akshay Kumar in his next flick Khatta Meetha is creating heartburns in the political arena. The song is a satire at corrupt politicians. The lyrics are fairly common in what a normal Indian citizen goes though and echoes every day.
“Sarak aur bridge banainge (Bull Shit),
Traffic main nahi phasain ge (Bull Shit),
Waqt pe kaam honge (Bull Shit)”.
The lyrics from Shehzad Roy, who is a humanitarian and singer from Pakistan, could not be more direct and are also applicable (probably more) to our neighbors on the left. By the way, Shehzad is the singer of the song as well. Furthermore, Akshay is the producer of the movie and has bagged his favorite comic director Priyadarshan to direct the flick.
Given the recent Bharat Bandh called by opposition parties due to price hikes of all general commodities, the song is only adding "garam masala" to politicians tea cup. Have a watch and listen it yourself. Click on read more to enjoy the song and feel free to chime in. |

July 10, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): All the music lovers in India were eagerly waiting for the much awaited Ladakh Confluence, one of the nation’s largest eco-friendly music festivals, which was set to start from July 15. But disappointing all the music lovers and the performers from all over the world, the Ladakh Confluence has been called off following the alleged drug and alcohol abuse.
The “Ladakh Buddhist Association’ and “All Ladakh Tour Operators Association’ opposed the music festival saying it was promoting “western culture, rock music and drugs’. Following this, Jammu and Kashmir tourism minister Rigzin Jora pulled out support.
Tsering Dorjay, the executive head of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, stated, “Last year, there was a complaint from the local groups that such promotion of illegal things can harm tourism. So, we decided to cancel the festival this year”.
However, the allegations were denied by the organizers. According to them, the confluence was aimed to help the state only as their focus was on sustainable tourism and culture.
A core team member of the organizers said, “Our festival is totally drug free”.
