I was trying to step into the future with "Heartbreak Hotel", trying something different, integrating drama and sound effects with music. And it worked.

A new song has surfaced and hit the internet by Akon which is a tribute song to none other than the King of Pop Michael Jackson entitled 'Cry Out of Joy.'
Akon recently was interviewed by MTV for a special on MJ entitled, Michael Jackson's Human Nature and Akon discussed what it was like meeting MJ for the first time.
He said: "So I'm going upstairs [to meet him], I knock on the door, his bodyguard opens and says, 'OK, he's waiting to meet you.' I walk in and [Michael's] in this spinning chair, but it's facing backwards, so I walk in the room, but his back is turned, and the guard says, 'Hey, Mike, Akon's here.' So he spins around, like it was choreographed — so right away I was like, 'Oh boy,' " he laughed.
"But as soon as he turns around, gets up, 'Yo, what up, man?!' and I was like, 'What up, Mike?' and he gave me a pound, we hugged each other. He's like, 'Yo, I've been waiting to meet you for so long, this is a great honor, thanks for showing up, thanks for making the time.' And in my mind I'm like, 'You know, I should be thanking you for making the time.'
"It was the craziest thing, because we sat down, we talked about Africa, we talked about my foundation [Konfidence], we talked about the music, we talked about girls. We had a great, incredible time that day," he continued. "He was extremely funny, he told jokes, and he liked to have fun."
A new report states that a number of the top artists of today who also collaborated with Michael Jackson will be involved in a tribute album which will benefit various charities close to MJ's heart.
The following are the lyrics to 'Cry Out of Joy' - video:
You will be missed by all your fans, I clench my fists cause it's so hard to respect, If I had the power to change one thing It'd bring you back to me, But life's not promised and that won't change, I'm a meet you there some day In this lifetime I wanna thank you for showin' me the man in the mirror In this lifetime I wanna thank you, you motivated the whole world to deliver We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy You're so much more then a heart Oh I wish the world could see you the way I did, And I wish they witnessed how wonderful a dad you were to all your kids And I noticed it didn't stop there Saving children was one of your goals Just donating all of your millions So they could one day rule the world In this lifetime I wanna thank you for showin' me the man in the mirror In this lifetime I wanna thank you, you motivated the whole world to deliver We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy You're so much more then a heart One word for the media Please help the people see the love Stop this garbage you're feeding us Show him for who he really was Remember there was more to come Remember he's the chosen one Remember him for wars he's won Remember him for what he's done In this lifetime I wanna thank you for showin' me the man in the mirror In this lifetime I wanna thank you, you motivated the whole world to deliver We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy We cry out of joy You're so much more then a heart SPOKEN: Rest in peace and harmony Michael I love you man
