New Michael Jackson Album Announced

 
Though he shockingly passed away in 2009, Michael Jackson is hardly finished making music. Epic Records announced that they are mining the King of Pop’s vault to release eight previously-unheard tracks on a new album called “Xscape,” which is due out in May. To give the album a contemporary spin, label chairman LA Reid has tapped some of the hottest producers around to work on the materials, including Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, John McClain and Jerome “J-Roc” Harmon. According to Reid, these producers have “the gravitas, depth and range to creatively engage with Jackson’s work.” If this latest album is a success, which it likely will be, don’t be surprised if we hear more of MJ’s unreleased songs for years to come.
