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.
