It has been announced that A new Michael Jackson song has appeared online sparking rumours that he is making his long awaited come back. The song called ‘Hold My Hand’, featuring Akon has cropped up on various websites including You Tube but the video has now been taken down due to copyright issues, which is a shame because I would love to hear the new song and I am sure many of you would to.
The mid-tempo track is said to feature the lyrics: “Things will get better if you just hold my hand.” The song has had a mostly positive response from commentators, with one fan saying the song marks “the return of the king.”
No release date has been scheduled for the album as of yet but it will be a follow up to 2001’s ‘Invincible’ Which to was fantastic.
It has been previously reported that Kanye West, Ne-Yo, and Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am are among the artists working with Michael on the record. Kanye confirmed that “I’m working on stuff for Michael Jackson.”
I can not wait for his new album to come out. Do you think that he can make a great come back I do.

Michael Jackson is THE KING OF POP! Regardless of comeback, which I am excited about, MJ will remain the only living legend and musical genius alive in the 21st century (see wikipedia for numerical data on MJ’s success).
I love MJ! I hope he can come out with a new album soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the song!!! It’s been a while since Michael released something and this is a great start. I hope he will come out with a new album soon, I’ll definitely buy it
I miss his voice and I miss seeing him too… There is nobody like him and I think people are very curious what he will sound like. I understand it takes him a while because there seems to be so much pressure on him. He went through some unpleasant things and it can be little too hard to come on stage and stuff. Hopefully we will see our Michael soon and hear more of his unique musical talent. There are still lot of fans of yours, Michael!!!!

Very Good track. But it wasn’t for the MJ album, it was intended for Akons album.
I hope he decides to include the collaboration with MJ on the album. The response to it has been AMAZING! He can’t leave it off.
Also, I’m glad that there is a reporter out there who can report! Not just give opinion, it’s nice to read something positive for once.

Definitely man….. He’s a phoenix….. He courts downfalls…. But rises from the ashes…. welcome back to the throne…. My King….

Mike never left….he was just on hiatus.
Anyhow, I love the song. His voice is still incredible.
And even if Mike isn’t able to make a “comeback” as you call it, I would not be so stressed. Anyone who has been performing since he was 5 years old has done pretty well for himself.

Just heard the song. Instant goosebumps! I cannot describe how good it feels to finally experience new material from the King again!
Comment by Troy — July 2, 2008 @ 7:51 pm
Lucky for me!.. I ripped the MUSIC “hold my hand” from YOUTUBE before it was taken down. I have it on a CD and in my documents now.. My friends went wild over it.. just like I did!.. It’s amazing!
Comment by WIll — July 2, 2008 @ 8:17 pm
It’s Akon ft Michael Jackson get your facts straight. It is abeautiful song. I was one of the lucky ones to hear it on youtube before it was remove. It got close to 80,000 hits in 24 hrs. before it got removed. Be on the look out for this track because it is hot. Most people on youtube gave it good comments.

Thanks for writing such a nice article.
I loved ‘Hold My Hand’, its one of the best songs Ive heard since Invincible.
Its great to see the king of pop and god of music is working his magic again.
Comment by Hugh — July 3, 2008 @ 2:48 am
COME BACK MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have lots of fans and some of us are across the Atlantic.
I heard the song before it was taken down and thought it was SUPER. If that song isn’t a hit I will be shocked.
Comment by Jess — July 3, 2008 @ 4:42 am
The King of Music can surely make a successful comeback but I just want other people not to encourage the audio piracy which is extremely popular these days and would severely affect the sales of true artists who really work hard to make a comeback. I think Hold My Hand is gonna be on Akon’s new album and not on MJ’s. However, when MJ releases his, it’s gonna be a huge hit. People almost forgot what real Music would be like since MJ appeared to be rare.
And I repeat, Invincible is one of the greatest albums ever made. It’s right up there with the best!

Good to hear your voice, all that bs that you lost your voice, will never happen not even god will take that away so the press have no chance.
One request MJ please take your album old school give us music the world needs another Thriller!!! music that will last for ever.
The new cats are lazy, bin protools get that band back in the studio!!! blow are minds hell I know your voice will burn bright over the simple beats but I want to be proud I want to tell the world told you so!!

ABSOLUTELY NOT CONVINCED - This song is very average and ther is NO way he will come back with that! Problem is that he no longer hire people who writes pop music, but crappy RNB and hip hop. Look at Madonna and her last album hard Candy! That album was made to suits the American Market..it was a huge flop in Europe, and guess what..? she wanted it to be more RNB… she failed! Like Michael Jackson will. Come on Michael, Hire people like Cathy Denis or Mirwais and yes you will come back! I really believe that his next album will be a total; disaster… as bad as invincible because he did not manage to get the right people around him. The king is DEAD.

Hello! Get your act together!! Michael Jackson will always be know forver as the KING OF POP! Michael Will have a come back because he’s the king, so “MANU”, Keep the harsh words to your self cause the truth is “nobody” want’s to hear it OK!
Goes for everyone:) I made lots of changes becasue Michael inspired me, I cut my hair and donated it, I am getting donations for a charity called, “children of the world.” Thats all becasue “THE KING OF POP” himself Michael J Jackson inspired me too!! WOot Woot GO MICHAEL!! Your always going to be my Shooting Star!
Michael IS THE KING OF POP! And will always be THE KING OF POP!!
Michael you keep on doing what you are doing cause only you can make that change
PEACE!
