Listen To Michael Jackson's New Song "Xscape"

"Xscape", in stores May 13

Michael Jackson's new album, "Xscape", will be released on May the 13th, and the title track has just hit the Internet. You can listen to it HERE.

Written and produced by Michael himself and Rodney Jerkins, the previously unreleased track has been re-worked for the new album and "contemporised" by Darkchild to give it a fresh, current sound, but it definitely still sounds like a Michael Jackson song.

Pre-order the album on Amazon.

Michael Jackson's New Album To Be Released In May

"Xscape" - Out May 13

Michael Jackson fans rejoice: new music from the King Of Pop will be gracing your ears very soon! You will be able to pre-order the new album, "Xscape", on April the 1st on iTunes.com/MichaelJackson. It will be available in stores Worldwide on May the 13th.

"Xscape" is a collection of eight tracks, but a deluxe edition will also be released and it will contain all of the sourced Michael Jackson recordings in their original form. The album was executive produced by L.A. Reid, who was given total access to unlimited amounts of material that Michael had worked on over four decades.

The songs have been re-worked to give them a fresh, current sound, a process which L.A. Reid calls 'contemporising'. Rodney Jerkins, Timbaland and Stargate are some of the producers who have worked on the record.

The title track was written by Michael Jackson and Rodney Jerkins, and it was produced by the duo. The song was never released but it has been re-worked for the new album and 'contemporised' by the producer who recorded it originally in the studio with Michael.
