In a stunning revelation that has sent shockwaves through the music industry, legendary songstress Mariah Carey has publicly disclosed that Michael Jackson's estate is preparing to release a previously unheard collaboration between the two icons without her approval.
The five-octave vocal powerhouse expressed her dismay during a recent interview, confirming longstanding rumours about the existence of recorded material featuring both music legends. "This is something I never agreed to," Carey stated, highlighting the ethical concerns surrounding posthumous releases.
Behind the Music: The Untold Story
While specific details about the track remain closely guarded, sources close to the situation suggest the recording dates back to the height of both artists' careers during the 1990s. The collaboration represents what could have been one of the most significant musical partnerships in pop history.
Carey's revelation raises important questions about artistic integrity and the rights of living artists when their deceased collaborators' estates make decisions about unreleased material. "There are proper channels and respect that should be maintained," the 'Vision of Love' singer emphasised.
Industry Reactions and Ethical Concerns
The entertainment world has responded with mixed reactions to the news. Some argue that fans deserve to hear any existing work between two such iconic figures, while others side with Carey's position that artist consent should remain paramount, even after death.
This situation mirrors similar controversies in recent years, where estates of deceased artists have faced criticism for releasing material without the approval of surviving collaborators or family members.
As the story develops, music enthusiasts and industry professionals alike await further details about the disputed recording and whether Jackson's estate will reconsider their plans in light of Carey's public opposition.
