FINISHING touches are now being put to the final production of Michael Jackson's Hurricane Katrina relief song - which is being released on Bahraini label 2 Seas Records, according to a statement released by his publicist Raymone Bain yesterday.

The label belongs to Southern Governor Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, who is reportedly spearheading the project.

Recording artists Keisha Cole, Ciara, Snoop Dogg, Babyface and R Kelly are among singer taking part in the song, I Have This Dream.

It was written by Mr Jackson in response to Hurricane Katrina, which happened at the end of last August and was the most destructive and costliest natural disaster in the history of the US.

"This project is in response to the widespread devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina," said Shaikh Abdulla in the statement.

"It is my hope that the proceeds from this recording will make a tremendous difference to all individuals affected by this tragedy in the US."

He also said more than 10 additional artistes participating in the production would be named.

Most of the participants recorded their parts in Los Angeles, while Mr Jackson himself recorded in London.

No release date for the song has been announced, but a spokesman said it is due out "very soon".
