We're speaking literally. He moves into the big league with a music album featuring siblings Michael and Jermaine Jackson

Aug 4: Singer and music composer, Adnan Sami, is set to record an album with the Jackson brothers - Jermaine and Michael, later this year. Adnan has already started composing the scores for this prized album, and is expected to travel to Europe next month to meet his fellow colleagues. The album, which is being produced by an international label, is Jermaine's brainchild.

The story goes that Jermaine met Adnan at a social do two years back in Paris. He was extremely impressed with the latter's compositions and had proposed to collaborate with him, then. Ever since the duo have been frequently talking over the phone and exchanging emails and compositions.

Says Adnan's business manager Rikku Rakeshnath, "Jermaine and Adnan have been talking about an album for the longest time. Recently, they agreed on recording one. An international label, whose name we are not allowed to disclose as yet, is producing this album."

The album is going to be a fusion of pop, techno, R&B and Arabian sounds. Adnan is penning lyrics for the same and may also lend his voice to a couple of track. "The work of the album is already underway. November onwards he will be working only on the album with the Jacksons," adds Rakeshnath.

Adnan, however, is very keen on meeting pop icon Michael, as they have never met in the past. He is in a hurry to complete his other projects including a music album produced by T-Series so that he can concentrate on this international project. Rakeshnath says, "The Jackson brothers are already waiting for him. But Adnan has to finish his earlier commitments before leaving the country."

Sources close to Adnan reveal that the timing of the new album could not have been better. The singer and music composer's four-year contract with T-Series comes to a close early next year. Reportedly, Adnan has also struck a deal with another international music company .

Adds Rakesnath, "You have to wait for the official announcement from this international music company. They impose stringent rules on the artistes they sign. Adnan has grabbed a fabulous contract with them, but we are not allowed to divulge any details."
