Michael Jackson to cut new album with Bahrain record label

Michael Jackson is to release his first album since 2001 on a record label based in Bahrain. The singer has settled down in the kingdom and is reportedly close to the Prince of the country. Sometime ago his publicists had confirmed that Jacko was planning to permanently settle in the Gulf State. The 47-year-old Jackson has been living in Bahrain ever since he was acquitted of child abuse charges last year. The record label on which he is to bring out his new album is called Two Seas Records and is owned by the country's royal family member Abdulla Hamad Al-Khalifa
