NEW YORK (AP) — Get ready for more Michael Jackson music.

Sony Records and Jackson’s estate announced Thursday that they’ll be releasing “Michael” on Dec. 14. The album is billed as “newly completed recordings” from the pop legend who died last year.

The first single is called “Breaking News” and will be streamed on www.michaeljackson.com starting Monday for one week. A teaser of the song will appear on the site Friday.

Jackson recorded “Breaking News” in 2007. The statement says it was “recently brought to completion.”

Jackson was known for recording dozens of tracks for his albums and had a substantial trove of unreleased music.
