Sony Music Admits They Released Fake Michael Jackson Songs

[Megalan]

In 2010, several songs were released that were said to be recorded by the late Michael Jackson. Four years later, one fan questioned the music’s validity, leading many to believe the music was fraudulent. Now, nearly three years after the scandal, Sony Music Entertainment has admitted to releasing and selling fake tunes by the late legend.

The fake songs reportedly appeared on the 2010 posthumous album Michael. The songs in question include: “Monster,” “Keep Your Head Up,” and “Breaking News.” In court documents obtained by Karen Civil, Vera Servoa – the fan who kickstarted the investigation into the fake MJ songs – filed a civil suit, accusing Jackson’s longtime friends Eddie Cascio, James Victor Porte, and his production company, Angelikson Productions LLC of creating and selling music through Sony and the Jackson estate.

fucking assholes

[AK'z]

the albums were really badly compiled remixes of unfinished songs

if they had been faithful to the original demo then it would be ok to release chopped up pieces.

I suspect a lot of artists who had albums released posthumously had a few of those songs that weren't actually sung or even written by them. Corporations are scum like that.
