MUSIC FAB: Ne-Yo On M.J. Songs & Music Leaks + The Floacist Feat. Musiq Soulchild "Forever" Vid

R&B songwriter and musician Ne-Yo is skeptical about recording songs that he had originally written for the late Michael Jackson because he does not want fans to think that he is trying to cash in on his death. He also ranted via twitter about the "hackers" that are leaking his new music. The deets when you read on...

Back in 2008, MJ (himself) called Ne-Yo about working together on his upcoming album. At the time, Ne-Yo believed it was a prank caller and just hung up.

“I actually hung up on him because I thought someone was playing.  I was like, ‘Who’s this?’ and the reply came, ‘This is Michael Jackson.’ Click.

“Then his representative called back. ‘This is Peter Lopez. I have Michael Jackson on the phone.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God. Are you serious?’ And then I apologized for the next ten minutes. Any comedian who has ever made fun of Michael Jackson was right on. Sad but true. He does have a very high, not very manly voice."

Funny ish..

But now that the King of Pop is resting in peace, Ne-Yo isn't sure what to do with the songs.

“Michael told me the songs had to be magical. ‘Magical’ was a word that kept coming up.  He chose about ten of my songs for his new album. But I don’t know what to do with them now.

“I’m afraid that if I make a tribute record people will think I’m cashing in on my idol.”

Do you think that a tribute album should be released featuring the ten songs picked by Jackson?

Speaking of new music, Ne-Yo also took to twitter to address his recent music leaks.

Tell 'em why you mad Shaffer!

Remember Floetry? Since Marsha Ambrosius (The Songstress) has gone solo, Natalie Stewart (The Floacist) has dusted off her vocals and debuted a new song featuring Musiq Souldchild called "Forever." She's even donning a baldie now. Check out the vid.

Nice. Glad she's back.
