The King of Pop lives through his music.
Michael Jackson fans can prepare their ears for new music from the late singer nearly five years after his death. The new album entitled XSCAPE will hit stores on May 13.
Epic Records, in conjunction with Jackson’s estate, released a statement today detailing the project, reports the Huffington Post.
“After mining by the Estate of Jackson’s archives, L.A. 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,” read the statement.
The L.A. Reid produced eight-track album will be available in a Deluxe Edition featuring the recordings in their original form. Fans can pre-order the standard and deluxe versions of XSCAPE beginning April 1.
