On page 19 of the very latest Rolling Stone magazine (02/08/2007 Issue 1019), there is a brief blurb containing brand new details about the work that Michael Jackson is doing with Will.i.am. Here are the major new details it reveals:
- Will.i.am and Michael have drafted eight new songs together
- One song they have already tracked is titled "I'm Dreamin'"
- Another song Michael will sing is a ballad written by John Legend and Will.i.am
- The two are expected to convene in Ireland for one month to finish recording the tracks
- Will.i.am says he hopes that the album will sound like an "Off the Wall" for the modern era
- Other potential collaborators include Chris Brown and DJ Whoo Kid
- Michael said he wants the music to have great melodies
- Some of the work in progress includes up-tempo, dance-floor ready tunes
- Will.i.am says that vocally, Michael is still killing everybody (meaning: exceptionally good)
