Bahrain label says Michael Jackson plans new album

LONDON (Reuters) - Michael Jackson, seeking to revive his pop singing career after his acquittal on sex-abuse charges, has teamed up with a label in Bahrain to record a new album set for release next year, the label said on Tuesday.

A statement released on behalf of Two Seas Records said British music industry executive Guy Holmes had been named CEO of a newly formed joint venture between Jackson and Bahrain royal family member Abdulla Hamad Al-Khalifa.

Holmes, who now plans to divide his time between London and Bahrain, will oversee the making of Jackson's first studio album since "Invincible" in 2001, and also manage the star's business interests, the statement added.
