Michael Jackson may have left the world but his legacy lives on, and we might have to listen to that legacy as the King of Pop has a new album and a list of new songs are revealed for the fans to anticipate and enjoy what could be his last impression upon the world.
One of the greatest performers of all time, Michael Jackson has certainly changed the face of the whole world, not just music but the Pop culture itself. From his humble beginnings with his brothers as a member "The Jackson 5", to his solo career that brought us songs such as "Beat It", "Smooth Criminal", "Thriller", and many more and his incredible dance moves such as the Moon Walk. Now fans will get to experience something new from him as a new album for Michael has been made courtesy of Epic Records and Michael Jackson's estate.
The title of the album is Xscape, an 8-song collection of previously unreleased tracks and the album scheduled to be released for public on May 13, 2014.
Epic Records CEO and executive producer L.A. Reid took the lead in cultivating recordings from Jackson in which his vocals were completed, and went about "contemporizing" each. The album's lead producer was Timbaland, with additional work courtesy of Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, Jerome "Jroc" Harmon and John McClain. Reid said on a statement last Monday saying that.
"Michael left behind some musical performances that we take great pride in presenting through the vision of music producers that he either worked directly with or expressed strong desire to work with. Modern music and artistry would look and sound completely different if not for the ground breaking contributions Michael Jackson gifted to the world. We are extremely proud and honored to present this music to the world."
