Justin & Missy Elliott are to write the new version of the 'We Are The World'!

NEW YORK (Justin Timberlake Fans Website) - Justin Timberlake and Missy Elliott are to write a new version of the We are the World charity song to raise funds to fight the Aids pandemic.
The track, to be called The World is Ours, is the brainchild of hip-hop producer Timbaland and will feature a host of stars.
Due to be released in spring 2004, The World Is Ours is being made with the blessing of Quincy Jones, who produced the original.

We are the World was inspired by Bob Geldof's all-star Band Aid recording Do They Know It's Christmas? to fight famine in Africa.
Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote We Are the World, reportedly in just two hours, and Jones produced the recording session. Among the participants were Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, Paul Simon, Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder and Willie Nelson.

Timbaland said that "I see this as a passing of the torch. I will use the legendary model of "We Are the World" but update it in a way that works for the trends of the music industry today.
Just as Quincy Jones, Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson did, we will create an anthem with today's most talented artists to produce a song that will bring the world's attention to the Aids pandemic."
