On May 13th Epic Records, in conjunction with the Estate of Michael Jackson,
will release XSCAPE, an album of new music by the King of Pop,
Michael Jackson. 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. The list of
producers include global hitmakers Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate and John
McClain.
The new album will feature eight brand new recordings. 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,
Amazon
and MichaelJackson.com.
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.
John Branca and John McClain, co-executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson
said, "Michael was always on the cutting edge and was constantly reaching out to
new producers, looking for new sounds. He was always relevant and current. These
tracks, in many ways, capture that spirit. We thank L.A. Reid for his
vision."
Full press release is available on MichaelJackson.com.
