Album Description
Available in: Country Icon
Michael es el primer álbum póstumo que contiene temas inéditos del cantante estadounidense Michael Jackson.​ Es su séptimo álbum lanzado a través de Epic Records, el 10 de diciembre de 2010 en los Estados Unidos junto con Sony Music Entertainment.​ Michael fue el primer lanzamiento de todo su nuevo material discográfico en nueve años, desde Invincible en 2001. La producción estuvo a cargo de Teddy Riley, Theron "Neff-U" Feemster, C. "Tricky" Stewart, Eddie Cascio, entre otros y cuenta con Akon, 50 Cent y Lenny Kravitz como artistas invitados. Michael es el séptimo álbum de Jackson lanzado por Sony y Motown/Universal desde su muerte en junio de 2009.

El álbum produjo cuatro sencillos: «Hold My Hand», lanzado el 15 de noviembre de 2010, que logró alcanzar la posición número 39 en la lista estadounidense Billboard Hot 100, «Hollywood Tonight», lanzado el 11 de febrero de 2011, «Behind The Mask» lanzado el 21 de febrero del mismo año y (I Like)The Way You Love Me publicado el 8 de julio del mismo año.​ El video musical para «Hold My Hand» fue dirigido por Mark Pellington, y tuvo su debut internacional el 9 de diciembre de 2010. El videoclip para «Hollywood Tonight» fue dirigido por Wayne Isham, quien además también dirigió el video para «You Are Not Alone» en 1995, en uno de los mismos lugares donde filmó este último: --El Pantages Theatre, cerca del famoso Hollywood and Vine. El video se estrenó mundialmente el 10 de marzo de 2011. «(I Like) The Way You Love Me» fue lanzado en Corea del Sur como un sencillo digital el 18 de enero de 2011, y fue enviado a las estaciones de radio italianas y chinas en julio del mismo año.

El viernes 10 de diciembre de 2010, un cartel publicitario de 29.070 pies cuadrados (2,701 m2), con las portadas del álbum fue erigido en la granja de Rectory en Middlesex, Inglaterra, rompiendo el Récord mundial Guinness por el cartel publicitario más grande en todo el mundo.

User Album Review
New songs from the deceased star - but how many should have seen the light of day?

For a man who’s now been dead just over a year, Michael Jackson has been awfully productive lately. This is his sixth posthumous release since he collapsed and died on June 25 last year, his body coursing with Propofol and Lorazepam, midway through rehearsals for the This Is It tour. Yet Michael is notable for being the first release thus far with any legitimate claim to containing new, original material. Biographer Ian Halperin claimed that in the March before he died Jackson had recorded over 100 songs he didn’t want released until after he died. The first set of new songs, then; but almost certainly not the last.

Not that it’s a given proud perfectionist Jackson would have wanted many of these songs to have seen the light of day even when he had expired. New, it should be noted, is a word open for manipulation when it comes to deceased multibillion-selling artists. Syrupy closer Too Much Too Soon hails from the Thriller era; Hollywood Tonight, meanwhile, is a scrap of a song dusted off and tarted up from 2001’s Invincible sessions. If there is a heaven, and if Tupac, Cobain, Presley et al made it through the gates, chances are they’re consoling a wincing, visibly embarrassed Jackson, cursing his inability to bolt the demos drawer in Neverland’s vaults just that little bit tighter.

Michael is also a release notable for its special guests. 50 Cent turns up on Monster, a song which is essentially Thriller stripped of everything that’s brilliant about the tune, while Jackson and Akon battle it out to be the dominant force on opener Hold My Hand. Somewhere beneath the Senegalese-American’s "woos" and "yeahs" there’s a passable Michael Jackson B side, but anything that’s good about it spends the entirety of the songs running time battling to break through. Marginally better is the Lenny Kravitz collaboration (I Can’t Make It) Another Day, thanks largely to just how energised Jackson sounds. Though the guitarist does his best to sully matters by noodling all over the top of it.

Last month Jackson’s mother Katherine claimed that many of the songs on Michael contain vocals that belong to voices that aren’t her son’s. Record label Sony refute the claims, assembling a team of former associates – studio engineers and the like – to give creditability to their defence. But for anyone who feels passionately about the legacy of Michael Jackson, his mother’s caution is certainly worth consideration based on the content here, regardless of the facts.
