Jason Derulo, NCT 127, and EXO's Lay to Release Michael Jackson Tribute Single. 'Let's Shut Up and Dance' will be part of a special four-song EP box set.

Several new songs will be released as a four-part tribute to Michael Jackson, 769 Entertainment announced today (Aug. 28).

Over a 10-month period, 769 will see four singles released as homages to the King of Pop. The first track and video, “Let’s Shut Up and Dance,” will feature Jason Derulo, K-pop boy band NCT 127, and Lay Zhang, a Chinese soloist and member of K-pop boy band EXO. The song is co-written by Derulo, Ant Clemons, and Bong Bytheway. An official release date has not yet been announced.

The announcement of the project coincides with the commemoration of what would be Jackson’s 60th birthday. The tribute project is spearheaded by former MJJ Music president Jerry Greenberg, now the chairman of 769. MJJ was founded by Jackson in 1993.

“[Jackson] was all about diversity and inclusion bringing us all together through his artistry,” Greenberg said in a statement. “Our hope is that through this special project, we can all come together in these challenging times and celebrate him, and to continue to keep his legacy alive for generations to come.”

Taryll Jackson, son of Tito and nephew of Michael, is working on the project as a family representative.

I wonder if Let's Shut Up And Dance has any relation to Michael's massively unfinished demo entitled Shut Up And Dance?
 
Sounds like a waste of time.
I'm impressed Derulo is now on board but as for the others well it's crap. Can't see it gaining any traction outside the far east. But if I'm proven wrong then I guess I'll be happy about it. A successful chart/radio hit tribute to MJ can't be bad, right?
 
we dont need a tribute we want unreleased music
 
K-Pop ? oh god.. please no...

The other songs are unreleased MJ songs?
 
No unreleased music. Just tributes. No relation to MJ.
 
K-Pop ? oh god.. please no...

No this is a tribute project not related to the Estate and they are sure not having unreleased MJ-stuff
 
I don't care about this project, but how is it unnecessary if MJ gets a tribute EP from an artist that looks up to him?

People should think before they type. I agree with you.

Idk if I'm reading this unclearly or what but do we know if there is going to be these tribute song(s) AND four unreleased tracks or are the unreleased tracks what people like darulo going to sing on the 4 tracks?
 
I can confirm on of a things
I have already heard the song "Let's Shut Up and Dance" during a conference MJ Music Day in France with quests Brad buxer and Michael Prince

Michael Prince to clarify that Michael can never sing this song, it would be a "fan" who would have proposed to Michael, and that he was interested.

So! they do not " $ony and estate" tell us that it's Michael Jackson who is the singer!
 
I made some searches about this new release:

769 Entertainment seems to be a new South-Korean company with the aim of making K-Pop globally popular. It is likely that the Michael Jackson tribute project, and having both popular Asian and US artists onboard with it is part of this plan.

It raises some questions that 769 Entertainment first announced in the above video that famous South-Korean K-Pop boy band BTS will be on board with the project as well, but then BTS made an announcement clarifying that they indeed received an invitation but can’t participate due to some timing conflicts.
Also it is the second time that 769 Entertainment tries to release the first single, according to a press release from this March first they intended to collaborate on this one with Laurieann Gibson, a renowned choreographer who also worked with Jackson in the past.

The accompanying music video for the first single will be directed by Dave Meyers (his past works look good: https://davemeyers.com/music-videos and he just finished working on Janet Jackson’s new video).

So the project does not seem to have a connection to the Michael Jackson Estate, neither it looks that there will be unreleased Jackson content in the songs, but still I think it is cool to have popular artists doing a homage to Jackson.

I don't really get what you're trying to say...
 
I believe darkmj is saying that the song wasnt sung by Michael so if its released as michael.. dont believe it

lol, nobody on this project is saying they will release a Michael-song. It`s a tribute song for Michael without Michaels voice.
 
I know, I just think that's what darkmj os saying. Just giving the warning if we ever heard mj song on the song..

I'm excited to hear new mj vocals!! I hope we hear a little more detail soon
