A new MJ video is hitting the web.

Los Angeles: A new Michael Jackson music video is hitting the Internet preceding the launch of a posthumous Jackson album.

The video, previewed by The Associated Press, debuts at midnight Thursday Eastern time on worldwide websites, including MichaelJackson.com, said Jackson estate co-administrator John Branca. It showcases Jackson`s duet with Akon, "Hold My Hand," recorded before the superstar`s 2009 death. It`s the first single release from the 10-song CD, "Michael," launching Dec. 14. The hyperkinetic, four-and-a-half-minute video shows Jackson in concert, Akon singing and dancing, sentimental scenes of children, families and old people holding hands and a woman weeping. The song opens with the prescient line, "This life don`t last forever...So tell me what we`re waiting for...Hold my hand. " Bureau Report
