New Michael Jackson Album: XSCAPE (#1 UK)
 
https://scontent-b-gru.xx.fbcdn.net/...46915885_n.jpg

XSCAPE is executive produced by Epic Records Chairman and CEO L.A. Reid. After mining by the Estate of Jackson’s archives, Reid was granted unlimited access to the treasures spanning four decades of material on which Jackson had completed his vocals. Reid then teamed up top producers to “contemporize” the songs while retaining Jackson’s essence and integrity, creating the best music you’ve never heard.

A Deluxe Edition of XSCAPE will include a selection of the recordings in their original form. Both the standard and Deluxe Edition’s are available April 1st for pre-order on iTunes and elsewhere.

The title of this album honors Michael’s album naming process. He always chose a song from the album to name his projects and, beginning with THRILLER, used only one word titles, each with an edgy quality to them. This is true of the new project.

I dunno how I feel about stuff like this. The guy died. None of this stuff was ever considered album worthy in his lifetime, perhaps he never wanted any of it to see the light of day or maybe he thought that after he died people would maybe hear some of it eventually but I doubt many people plan ahead and think "I want this to be released on a new album after I die" - I just sort of think he and his legacy should be left alone as it was while he was alive. I could understand the posthumous release of stuff he had been working on before his untimely death but this just comes across as a combination of a vanity project from people who think they have a right to his name and immoral profiteering out of a guy who was taken advantage of throughout his life and now in death too...

But on the other side yay new Michael Jackson music whatever

I think we all know who to thank for this

The blood sucking just never ends. And it probably never will.

That picture is creepy.

Good to see that the deluxe version will include original recordings.

Hmm. Not terribly interested after 'Michael' was so poor.

They aren't even his outtakes in their original form though, only a couple of them are being left as they are, most of them have been 'updated' according to the OP, i.e. aren't how he intended them to sound either because he left them unfinished or he finished them but never planned to release them.

Marsh. 31-03-2014 06:04 PM

Bringing Azealia into a Michael Jackson thread. :bored:
