The “King of Pop” may have passed away, but he’ll be continuing to release new music. Sony has signed a $250-million deal with Michael Jackson’s estate to produce 10 albums, with the first scheduled for November, reports Yahoo.

Sony had been Jackson’s record label for three decades before his untimely death last June. The new albums will feature previously unreleased music.

Twitterers offered ambivalent feelings about the deal:

    Saynea @wingheart Why does Sony seem to have first dibs on everything Michael Jackson? 
  2. Paul St.Amand
    PaulStAmand The Michael Jackson estate’s deal with Sony is impressive, but stop calling it a “recording contract”. You’re creeping me out. #fb
