Michael Jackson's former record label, Sony Epic, has confirmed that new recordings made by Jackson prior to his death at the end of last month will be released.

Jackson was reportedly working on new material with the likes of Ne-Yo, Akon and Will.i.am.

Speaking to BBC 6 Music, Sony Epic boss Amanda Ghost said: "I have no idea when it's coming out, but it will come out on Epic. We haven't made any decisions because we just want to be respectful for his memory and not be seen in any way as trying to cash in. [But] the appetite is definitely there [for new music]. If we do release any of the unreleased material, it has to be fantastic, it can't in any way damage his legacy or his legend. I won't let that happen at Epic".
