NE-YO wrote a lot of material for MICHAEL JACKSON before he died last June. In fact, in the weeks leading up to his death, Ne-Yo says he was sending Michael three or four song drafts a week.
So, what's going to happen to all of that stuff now? Well, Ne-Yo has NO IDEA.
He says, quote, "I can't sell them on to someone else . . . as that would be disrespectful . . . but I also think it might be disrespectful to bring them out myself.
"So I don't know, I'll sit on them and wait. It's definitely quality music but they were songs written absolutely for Michael Jackson. Hopefully the songs will see the light of day, it just has to be the right way."
By the way, during one of Ne-Yo's meetings with Michael, Michael shared his DISGUST with the current state of the music industry.
Ne-Yo says, quote, "He believed what was wrong with a lot of music today is that people aren't singing about anything. If it's not about a party or sex then it's about money, and there's not really much to that.
"Michael told me the melodies he wanted needed to be the ones you heard once and could sing back, and the lyrics needed to have meaning and depth."
