In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Senegalese R&B singer Akon, who currently holds US #1 spot with `Don’t Matter’ and features on Gwen Stefani’s #2 hit `The Sweet Escape’ said that he is planning a meeting with Michael Jackson to talk about Michael’s next album.

The two were supposed to meet up in Las Vegas last week but previous commitments Akon had made to his charity foundation for African kids unfortunately forced him to call off the appointment. He is now hoping to meet with Michael before the end of April.

Akon said that he already has big plans for the superstar’s comeback and is very much looking forward to it:

“I’m excited because I think it’s gonna be magic when we get together.

All the stuff that he’s going through, that he’s been through the past two years, the stuff that’s been out in the media… the stuff that hasn’t been out, I think he needs to just take all that (and) put it in his records. It’s a big story.

Nobody’s ever really heard Mike’s story… If he takes that and accepts what’s been out there and expresses his opinion, express his feelings, express what he felt on a record I think it’d take his whole album to a whole ‘nother level because the album now becomes a soundtrack of his life from that point to this point and that’s something people are gonna want to know about.”
