With Michael Jackson’s first posthumous release of new material, ‘Michael,’ slated to hit stores worldwide this week, the controversy surrounding it continues to make headlines. Immediately following the initial news reports of the album’s details, members of the Jackson family — including his father, Joseph, and several of his children — questioned the authenticity of the vocals. The accusation was taken seriously enough as to warrant an official response from the record label, Sony, which stated that they took significant steps in certifying that the vocals do, in fact, belong to Jackson.
On Monday, one of the album’s producers, Teddy Riley, stepped up to the plate to explain why some of the vocals may appear questionable. Riley admitted that the vocal tracks weren’t entirely ready for a finished product at the time of Jackson’s death, so he was forced to manipulate them by using technology to make them fit. “We had to do what we had to do to make … his voice work with the actual music,” Riley told Reuters.
