Posthumous Michael Jackson Album Due Out May 13
NEW YORK (AP) -- When Michael Jackson's record label released his first posthumous album in a year after his 2009 death, producer Rodney ``Darkchild'' Jerkins was asked to work on the project.
He declined.
Years later, the hitmaker who worked heavily on Jackson's 2001 comeback album ``Invincible,'' says he's finally comfortable again producing the King of Pop's music.
He produced the title track from the upcoming album, ``Xscape,'' out May 13.
Says Jerkins: ``I had a personal relationship with Michael, (so) it was about, ---'What would he want it to sound like now?'''
``Xscape'' was executive produced by Timbaland and includes songs Jackson recorded in the 1980s and 1990s. Some of the tracks are taken from early recording sessions for successful albums such as ``Bad'' and ``Dangerous.''
