A new posthumous album of previously unreleased Michael Jackson music comes out May 13.

Executive producer L.A. Reid refers to the work as "contemporizing" in a news release issued Monday. A deluxe version will include the original recordings.

Few other details were shared, but Reid did say the album is named for a track produced by Jackson and Jerkins, then later updated by Jerkins. It's the only song on the album where the original producer freshened the music.

Jackson died in June 2009 at 50 from a lethal dose of an anesthetic.
