Michael Jackson – Xscape (Vinyl LP)

180-gram vinyl LP featuring eight new tracks by the King of Pop!

Limited time album download included

“To answer your first question: Yes, it is any good. And about your second: Better than you think.” — Billboard

“Xscape lives up to the legend.” — USA Today

Writes reviewer Joe Levy for Billboard magazine: “To be sure, it’s a strange project: a Michael Jackson record of vocals out of the vault and all-new music from producers Timbaland and Jerome ‘J-Roc’ Harmon, Stargate, Rodney Jerkins and John McClain.”

The recruited global hitmakers took a cappella vocals recorded by Jackson, retaining his essence — smooth ecstasy and pained grit, swoops, pops, shouts and grunts — and created new tracks to thrill legions of fans of one of the world’s most revered and best-selling artists, as well as revealing Michael to a new generation.

L.A. Reid — who oversaw Xscape as the chairman and CEO of Epic Records — calls it “contemporizing” Jackson’s archival material, recorded between 1983 and 1999, or from the time just after Thriller to the time just before Invincible.

The title of this album honors Michael’s album naming process. He always chose a song from the album to name his projects and, beginning with Thriller, used only one word titles, each with an edgy quality to them. This is true of the new project.

Xscape also features a posthumous duet by Jackson with Justin Timberlake on “Love Never Felt So Good.”
