QuickNEWS: Micheal Jackson unreleased songs set to pop-out in May
A new album that contains eight previously unheard songs by the late Michael Jackson is set to be released in May.
Epic Records on Monday confirmed that the pop icon’s music has been “contemporized” by several producers. Epic Chairman L.A. Reid said in a statement that the songs have the “gravitas, depth and range to creatively engage with Jackson’s work.”
“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,” Reid said.
Preordering of the new album titled “Xscape” –named after one the tracks—will be made available on iTunes starting Tuesday. On the other hand, the actual album will be sold in music stores around the world on May 13.
Xscape’s lead producer is Timbaland and will show contributions from Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, Jerome “J-Roc” Harmon and Jackson estate executor John McClain.
A report by CNN says Jackson and Jerkins co-wrote and co-produced the song “Xscape.”
It was Sony’s Columbia Epic Records that held Jackson’s record label for three decades. The company signed a long-term deal with Jackson’s estate to posthumously release music from the large archives of his recordings, CNN said.
Furthermore, the official announcement also stated that Reid “was granted unlimited access to the treasures representing four decades of material on which Jackson had completed his vocals.”
Jackson was 50 when he died on June 25, 2009. The pop icon was preparing for his “This Is It” comeback tour when he was found dead.
