Singer and composer Adnan Sami recently spoke about the missing international collaboration that could have become one of the biggest moments of his career. In a conversation, Adnan revealed that he was in talks to work with the legendary Michael Jackson and his brothers on a world music album before the pop icon’s sudden death.The singer shared that collaboration discussions began after Michael Jackson decided to return alongside the Jackson Brothers.
“Michael Jackson wanted to get back with his brothers first.”
Recalling the incident, Adnan told Radio Nasha: “When Michael Jackson was planning his comeback, he decided that he would first come back with his brothers as The Jacksons. After this album, he planned to work on his next solo album.”According to Adnan, this happened after Michael had overcome the difficult stage surrounding the allegations against him.
He added: “After all these problems ended and he was acquitted of all accusations, he decided that the first album would be with his brothers.”
Jermaine Jackson He approached Adnan Sami after hearing his music
Adnan revealed that Jermaine Jackson had actually heard his music and personally reached out to him for a collaboration.“Jermaine heard my music and approached me saying, ‘We really like your music and we want to collaborate with you,’” Adnan recalls. Maybe you can produce some songs with us because we want the next album to be a world music format and not just a typical Jackson album.”
The singer admitted that he was shocked that Jermaine Jackson was familiar with his work.
“I even interacted with Michael Jackson via phone calls.”
As the discussions progressed, Adnan said he met Michael Jackson over the phone and the two began interacting regularly.“When we started interacting, they also connected me with Michael on the phone. We were constantly interacting via calls, and we finalized three songs together.”Adnan also revealed that the songs were inspired by his original compositions and that the team had already begun working on them.
“The album ended with the death of Michael Jackson.”
However, the collaboration never materialized after Michael Jackson’s death in 2009.Adnan said emotionally: “Unfortunately, Michael passed away, and with this the album ended as well.”He revealed that nearly two years of work had already been done on the project by then. After Michael’s death, Jermaine Jackson suggested that they continue working on music together.“Jermaine told me we worked so hard together, so why don’t we go ahead and do something together anyway? Then Jermaine and I wrote and produced a song together,” Adnan said.The singer concluded by saying that life often leaves behind incomplete moments and unfulfilled dreams.
