Akon has been working with Michael Jackson on the King of Pop’s comeback album. The latest fruit of their labor comes with “Hold My Hand.” The mid-tempo, melodic collaboration features the lyrics, “Things will get better if you just hold my hand.” Wasn’t that what got MJ in trouble in the first place?

Am I the only one that truly wants to just put the beginning and end on loop when MJ sings and ignore Akons vocals but feels to bad to do it:blush:

Just you and I together
Alone in a park or a house
No one could ever find us
Holding Hands.

In a place where we can share our love
On a cloud of pure bliss
Together and always
Holding Hands.

Through bad problems and issues
Charging head first into fate
Dueling the creator and still we are
Holding Hands.

In the time we are apart
We cry
As we are giving physical love
We sing
When we are yelling
We shall speak
Through everything possible
We shall remain
Holding Hands.

MTV Yall:


Jul 1 2008 2:17 PM EDT
Akon/ Michael Jackson Collaboration, 'Hold My Hand,' Leaks

Track might wind up on 'Kon's upcoming third album.

By Jennifer Vineyard

Akon wanted to be starting something with Michael Jackson — and apparently, that something involves holding hands.

A song that the two worked on for Akon's upcoming album has leaked to the Internet, and it's called "Hold My Hand." An earlier version of the track, without Jackson's contributing vocals, leaked in February, just as the pair's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008" was officially released as the first single for the re-release of Thriller.

A mid-tempo ballad featuring strings at its beginning, "Hold My Hand" layers the singers' vocals over a drum machine and a twinkling piano melody as the pair trade off lyrics like "We're better off being together than being miserable alone" and "Nothing can come between us if you just hold my hand." Jackson's softer, more lilting vocal lines start the duet, but Akon soon becomes dominant, thanks to his distinctive phrasing.

Akon's label rep said that the singer's as-yet-untitled third album, due later this year, has not been completed, so there's no word on whether "Hold My Hand" will make the cut, and as such, there hasn't been any plan to release the song as a single.

Akon previously told MTV News that working with MJ was a dream come true, calling the King of Pop "incredible" and a "genius."

"Just to be in the same room [with him], I felt everything I wanted to accomplish in life has been achieved," Akon said. "That aura ... that's how incredible that aura is. We about to shake the world up, man. You know how you be with somebody and you can't even explain [the feeling]? I used to sit and think, 'How does somebody sell so many records and dominate a whole business genre to a point [where] nobody can't be a part of that without associating with you?' The way he thinks ... some artists think regional, some think national, I was thinking international. He thinks planets. It's on another level."

They'd have to be clinically insane NOT to release that song as a single!!! Especially with Akon himself saying for months what a global smash it is.

They would be insane for this song not to make the album cut. Unless there are legal issues with MJ that prevents it...

I thought I heard from somewhere that he is already done with his album, and even ready for his next next album called Double Jeopardy? :mello: Something about he has to finish his tour first then he would release Acquitted...

The music is great.Period.But I think the world is missing the king of pop.This love, "saudade"(missing) is the most important . Is the key to all this success.

Re: It's here: Akon feat. Michael Jackson "Hold my hand" UTube Audio pg. 1; lyrics posts 55 and 188

I'm a lil skeptical of MTV :mello:

And isn't Akon's new album supposed to be called Aquitted (correct me if I'm wrong)?

Edit: They must be f*ckin with us or something, I don't believe it.
