The first new Michael Jackson single will be a not-so-new duet with Akon -- a song entitled "Hold My Hand" that was originally leaked in 2008.
Epic Records/Sony Music just announced the lead single off the upcoming album "Michael" -- and "Hold My Hand" will be released this coming Monday, November 15 on michaeljackson.com.
Akon and MJ recorded the track back in 2007 ... a raw, incomplete version was eventually leaked to the public.
The new album will feature a total of 10 tracks -- including the controversial "Breaking News" -- when it's released December 14.
Here's the version that came out in 2008.

HOLD MY HAND
King of TMZ
ony released this experiment (Breaking News) on the public
BECAUSE:
- If the public buys that this is Michael Jackson
Then Sony can make as many NEW albums and songs as long as Jason Malachi is alive.
Get the full picture people
This is NOT MJ
This is an experiment to see how deaf and dumb you are and how loose your pockets are.
Boycott the Album and anything Sony or Freaky Japanese.

who cares about the money his family is trying to make off his death , if anyone was smart they wouldn't buy it and then maybe this family would go away

Michael hardly sings anything on that track. I dunno if the proper version has more of him on it, but that leaked one never had much of his vocals.
The Netherlands
@15. Ehmmm.... that's BS.
You can hear Michael very clearly and he sings the most parts of the song.
