"Michael left behind a legacy of music that we are proud to present through the hands of the music producers he worked with or wanted to work with," label chairman LA Reid told AFP.

The team was led by "wizard" Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins (who co-wrote and produced the title track), Stargate, Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon and John McClain.

Reid noted that the above producers "have the depth and ability to creatively edit Jackson's work."

He also confirmed that this may not be the King of Pop's last album, as he "has been given unlimited access to the material Jackson has contributed to over his four-decade career."

"Michael was constantly reaching out to new producers and finding new sounds. He was always on the cutting edge. These songs, in many ways, capture his spirit. We have Reid to thank for this opportunity," McClain shared./.
