I meant in the sense it wouldn’t have been released if the artist hadn’t died. Take the OP; if the two artists wanted to duet, wouldn’t they have preferred to be in the same studio rather than just awkwardly editing them together?
Well, there’s Rosemary Brown’s presentation in the 1970s of new compositions dictated to her by Beethoven, Liszt, Schubert, Brahms, et al.
In this category of posthumous release I’ve seen dead actors resurrected to shill for products. For example, Fred Astaire dancing with the Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner here, 10 years after his death. And Audrey Hepburn, 20 years post mortem, eating Galaxy chocolate thanks to CGI. She looks to me like a re-animated corpse, with pasted-on full eyebrows.

Hate that Hepburn ad with a passion.
So do I, but that was only after I’d spent an hour or more trying to figure out what movie they commandeered the scene from, only to find out that there was no movie. It was all CGI. Gah.
For books, the Girl with A Dragon Tattoo series was also released posthumously. It was popular, but I don’t know how good it is.
Wait, we’re doing bad ones. I keep forgetting.
How was Whitney Houston reviewed in that Sparkle movie?
