“Breaking News” is the first song to surface off Michael, the King of Pop’s forthcoming posthumous album (out Dec. 14). But Michael’s nephews (and, apparently, his parents and children) are claiming the track’s a fake: “Deceptively merging shady vocals with MJ samples — from prior MJ records — will never fool me,” and, “I will not support Breaking News and a few others because it simply is not him.” Weird stuff! Sony, however, has “complete confidence … that the vocals on the new album are his own.” In any case, it’s an odd song. [Via]
