TODAY — Though Michael Jackson died unexpectedly in 2009, the King of Pop is set to rule the airwaves again with an album of brand new music, “Xscape,” released on Tuesday.
The eight songs on the album (a deluxe edition has nine more) are a mix of old and new: The vocal tracks are pure Jackson, laid down in the years before his death.
The music, on the other hand, is a contemporary concoction put together by a team of producers led by Timbaland, under the aegis of Epic Records chairman and CEO L.A. Reid.
Songs include “Love Never Felt So Good,” a dance tune first heard on the iHeartRadio Music Awards earlier this month; a remake of America’s “Horse With No Name,” renamed “A Place With No Name” on the album; and the romantic “Loving You.”
