Nokia’s treat for Indian Michael Jackson fans

Michael Jackson fans in India have something to cheer about. They can download his song Hold My Hand which also features Akon free of cost from the Nokia Ovi Music Store. The Store is accessible to internet enabled Nokia devices and the song will be available till November 30.
This is the first Michael Jackson song to be released in the past nine years. Hold My Hand, a duet with R&B singer Akon, was recorded in 2007.
A handwritten note by Michael Jackson indicates that he desired this song to be the first single in his subsequent project, but the song leaked out, still unfinished in 2008. Akon recently completed the production of Hold My Hand and that version of the song is now available on Ovi Music Store.
While it can be downloaded exclusively from Ovi Store, Hold My Hand will also be released by Sony Music as part of an album called Michael.
The managing director of Sony Music India, Shridhar Subramaniam, said, “Through this offer, fans of Michael can legitimately download his music from the Ovi store in India well in advance of the CD release.”
Sony Music, in conjunction with the Estate of Michael Jackson, will release the much anticipated new album On December 14.
