Music legend Michael Jackson would have been celebrating his 55th today, and in a piece of news that’s likely to bring smiles to fans’ ears worldwide, mega-producer Timbaland has confirmed he is working on a set of unreleased posthumous material from the pop icon.

In an excuse interview with Revolt TV, Timbaland tells of LA Reid personally asking him to work on the project, of which the first confirmed track Chicago is already ready for release.

Alluding that the sound is ‘current’, Timbaland continues by saying that the tracks have not lost the ‘Michael Jackson-essence’. He ends by saying all the music should be ready by year-end.

Exciting times! Check out the interview below:
