| 5 August 2009: A discovery of an old song! Henrik from Sweden emailed to tell me that he found a non-released Max Martin song. The song is called "Jerusalem" and was written by Max Martin and Denniz Pop for Israel singer Ofra Haza. It was to be released on an album "Queen in Exile" but the album was never released. BUT the song is on youtube if you want to hear it. Thank you Henrik! | ||||||

| JUNE 2009 | ||||||
| 27 June 2009: Sadly Michael Jackson has died on 25 June 2009. As Cheiron fans will know, Michael Jackson performed backing vocals on the 3T song "I Need You" produced by Denniz Pop and Max Martin. | ||||||
| Max Martin said this about working with Michael Jackson in the Time Magazine interview "The Music Man" by Jeff Chu (December 21, 2001):
On collaborations past, present and future: Max Martin: " I actually recorded Michael Jackson on one of the 3-T tracks. The guy can definitely sing. It's absolutely amazing what he did that night in the studio. I actually had to walk off — it was me and Denniz sitting there doing the recording. When [Jackson] started singing, I just lost it. I had to walk out for a while. I just left him singing. That was weird." |
