Hi there!
Chilean newspaper "El Mercurio" publish today this interesting news. I do my best to translate it to english, sorry if you find something wrong.
Michael Jackson gathers chilean Humberto Gatica for his new album and DVD
The singer did contact Humberto Gatica, nephew of singer Lucho Gatica and famous international producer, to be part of the staff for his comeback.
While half of the planet want to find out how many shows will do Michael Jackson in his London comeback, Humberto Gatica has other worries with the singer. Almost the opposite: the trust, the friendship, the future and the sons. This is what they speak each other about three weeks ago, when the artist phoned the most powerfull chilean producer to his personal phone number, the man who works in the thecnical staff headed by Quincy
Jones and the staff who worked in the essentials "Thriller" (1982) and "Bad" (1987).
The Jackson phone call has another plan for him. The most personal and secret projetc about his comeback, which nobody knows muchs at this stage: to go back to the recording studio for his new album and to film some of the London shows for a new DVD.
"He called because we know each other and because he trust me. He want me to go back to work with him and to be part of his team. Today everybody have doubts about him; at the same time, he doesn't trust nobody and he's in contact again with his circle of partners which he felt safe, with the ones which he spent his best time in the old scholl, altough there's no much left. He wants to feel protected again" says Gatica, in our phone conversation from Capitol Records studios in Los Angeles, where he's working on Michael Bublé's new album.
Gatica adds: "We have to see how everything is going forward, because Jackson's new album will be amazing, but is also an work that takes so much for him and perhaps a pretentious work. He had worked for a long time in songs and he doesn't know if spend his free days between the shows re-worked them or to wait for the fresh popular image he will regain with his comeback".
Gatica will travel to London to see some of the shows and he's thinking about to spend some weeks there to work in the recording of the shows. "His entire team, dancers, chorus, and sound engineers has rented houses to live in London. Nobody will stay at hotels. Maybe I will join them", said.
He also has worked for Celine Dion or Andrea Bocelli and has defend the amercian singer. Indeed he did accept to work in his last fiascos: "Invincible" (2001), his last album, and the never released song for the victims of Katrina hurricane back in 2005.
That's why he has a unique privilege: to know from the own words of the singer his feelings about the 50 shows. Gatica reveals: "I find him really fast, very clear, very sharp, really focused on the shows. I have no doubt he's algo phisically fit, because he's a perfectionist. He wants to tour in Europe after that. We also talk about sons, family and hollidays. I felt him relaxed".
Gatica has it clear: while everyone thinks in another letdown, the former king of pop is convinced in the vitory.
