Michael Jackson songs are undeniably one of the most listened to in the world.
Even after his passing, the King of Pop remains to be a popular figure today because of the memorable songs he has left behind. However, proving that he is still the King of Pop, Jackson has posthumously released a new album entitled "Xscape."
The album which was accepted with rave reviews is a compilation of Jackson's unreleased works before he died. One particular song that have caught people's attention was "Love Never Felt So Good," which also featured Justin Timberlake on vocals.
And now, a new video for Michael Jackson's song "A Place With No Name" of the same album has debuted on Twitter. The music vid will be the first ever video to premiere on the social media site.
"A Place With No Name" was inspired by America's "A Horse With No Name," and was directed by Samuel Bayer, the same director for Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video and Justin Timberlake's song "What Goes Around Comes Around."
The new video shows outtakes and behind-the-scenes footages from Jackson's "In The Closet" music video.

Meanwhile, here's what Douglas Wolk of Pitchfork thinks of Jackson's "Xscape" album:
"Michael Jackson has released more new music in the five years since his death than in the 12 years before it. Jackson was a perfectionist about his music, and he recorded many more songs than he ever released. That means that there's a lot of unreleased material in his archives; Michael appeared in 2010, and now we've got this strange, underfed, vaguely horrid eight-song record, inexplicably named after the group that had a hit with "Just Kickin' It". It's a set of outtakes and misfires that Jackson recorded in the 20th century, freshly "re-produced" by L.A. Reid, Timbaland, and others to sound as if he'd just shown up to make a new record in a contemporary style."
