On December 14, the highly anticipated posthumous Michael Jackson album, simply titled Michael, will make its way into the hands of his legions of eager fans. While they'll still have to wait another month to finally hear the full album, today the King of Pop's fans were treated to a taste of what's to come when the official track list was revealed.

Collaborators include 50 Cent, Lenny Kravitz and Akon, who makes a guest appearance singing a duet with Jackson on the album's leadoff track, "Hold My Hand." Akon had only the highest praise for the experience of working with the late pop idol.

"Just to be in the same room [with him], I felt like everything I wanted to achieve in life had already been achieved," Akon said. "That's how incredible that aura [is]. We about to shake the world up, man ... You know how you be with somebody and you can't even explain [the feeling]? I used to always sit and wonder, 'How does somebody sell so many records and dominate a whole business genre to a point where nobody can't be a part of that without associating [with him]?' The way he thinks ... some artists think regional, some think national, I was thinking international, 'til I met him. He thinks planet. It's on another level."

The complete track list for Michael:

1. "Hold My Hand" (Feat. Akon)

2. "Hollywood Tonight"

3. "Keep Your Head Up"

4. "(I Like) The Way You Love Me"
