The tracks were completely unheard of until eleven months after Jackson’s death, in May 2010, when Roger Friedman, a tabloid journalist who spent years criticizing Jackson’s personal life and business affairs, announced the existence of the twelve songs.

With the assistance of entertainment attorney Donald Passman, Cascio and Porte quickly struck up a deal with Sony and handed over the tracks.

A few months later Teddy Riley was asked to lend his production skills to a number of tracks being considered by Sony for release – including a handful of Cascio tracks.

Between September and November 2010 Riley worked tirelessly on the music.

During the production sessions Riley, along with members of the Jackson family, including Riley’s close friend Taryll Jackson (Tito’s son and Michael’s nephew), raised concerns about the authenticity of the vocals on a number of tracks – those provided by Eddie Cascio and James Porte. In fact, most people who heard the tracks, other than Cascio and Porte themselves, did not believe the vocals belonged to Jackson at all.

Once the concerns were brought to the attention of The Estate an investigation was launched.
