There has been a bit of controversy surrounding the release of a Michael Jackson Christmas album by Sony. MJ’s mom and his kids insist that the all of the vocals Jackson’s album aren’t really him.
Though his family can’t block the release of the CD, they are, via Kathryn, fighting back in an indirect way. Kathryn just released a song that she claims is 100% authentic, meaning it’s really Michael singing. This is a bit of an indirect dig at Sony. They haven’t responded.
Kathryn and her company, Jackson Secret Vault has about 300 more unheard tracks in their possession. Look for more to be released, though no one knows whether that will be sooner or later.
Her partner in Jackson Secret Vault, Howard Mann, had this to say regarding the Jackson song he and Kathryn releases, ‘Opis None,’ “In an effort to overcome the confusion as to the authenticity of the track the estate has recently released we want to give an actual authentic Michael Jackson track to the world … for free.”
