Any dancer cannot deny the influence of Michael Jackson. One in particular, Omarion, is paying homage to the King of Dance by dedicating his new music videos to him.

The clip for the R&B singer’s first single, “I Get It In” featuring Gucci Mane, will debut next week. He is also working on a video for “Hoodie,” a viral single from his new album Ollusion, due January 12.

“‘Hoodie’ is a viral single. We’re putting it out there for the fans. Both videos ['Hoodie' and 'I Get It In'] are dedicated toMichael Jackson. It’s a mix between ‘Beat It’ and ‘Bad,’” the former B2K member tells Rap-Up.com.

O describes the clip’s dance-heavy premise. “When I pull up, I’m getting out the car, we start choreography and then it keeps going until the end of the video. I’m telling you right now, this is probably one of the dopest videos you’ve seen in a long time because it’s a concept.”

We first got a glimpse of Omarion in 2001 when he made his debut along with his chest-baring, pubescent band mates, in super group B2K. While girls craved the band, delegating each boy to the subject of their fantasies, Omarion made most swoon. His long, jet black, cornrowed hair, his sweet tunes of puppy love, and those moves — the boy always could move. But that was eight years ago, and though they reached platinum status at the height of their career, B2K eventually disband in 2004 over rumors of financial discrepancies, and (years later) accusations of sexual abuse by former manager, Chris Stokes.

Omarion weathered the storm, cozying up to success, debuting at No. 1 on the billboard with 0, 21, and Face Off (his collaborative effort with Bow Wow). And you’d think a guy practically synonymous with being No. 1 would have the secret to success, but it turns out, Omarion’s still figuring it out. Having signed with everybody’s favorite go-to-feature rapper/entrepreneur, Lil Wayne, and Young Money back in June, Omarion announced via Twitter just two months later that he parted ways with the label.

“I didn’t get dropped,” he tweeted. “I wish Wayne and all of [Young Money] good luck for their future. There are no hard feelings, business is business.”

It isn’t only business, but freedom that the now-sans-long-hair Omarion, is navigating his way through.  “It’s always been exciting and I’ve always been behind the scenes in creatively inputting on who Omarion is and who Omarion wants to be. And now that vision [has] just really, really come to light,” Omarion says.

Having finally settled down with record label EMI and a new album, Ollusion due out for release January 12 through his new imprint Starworld, maybe Omarion is finally getting back on track, but will his newfound freedom lead him back to the success he once knew?

Bossip had the chance to chop it up with Omarion at Webstar’s birthday party earlier this week, and he explained what’s growing on the back of his head and also had a little something to say about his old bandmates.

Omarion told us that he’s bringing the duck tail back. He said he had one as a kid and wanted to bring the hairstyle back to the scene. We asked him if he would consider putting an extension on it because it’s growing out and he said no that would be too weird. Like the sh*t growing off his neck isn’t weird enough all by itself. Oh, we also asked him about J-Boog and Lil Fizz’s recent comments about him and he said it wasn’t surprising because they always have something negative to say.
