Michael Jackson Album 'Xscape' To Be Released In May 2014



Epic Records have announced that they will be releasing 'Xscape', an album featuring eight new tracks, enjoying their debut on May 13,2014 with hitmaker Timbaland at the helm.

Epic chief LA Reid has been collaborating with the Estate of Michael Jackson, to dig into the star's archive which covers four decades of music-making by the record-breaking performer.

Reid curated the final list of recordings to deliver to the producers, who retooled the production to add a contemporary sound that retains Jackson’s essence. It’s a process Reid calls “contemporizing"

The title continues a tradition begun by Michael of naming his albums after a key track, and using only one-word titles.

The song 'Xscape' has further significance, because it has been updated by the producer who recorded it originally in the studio with Michael.

Note
Michael Jackson died in June 2009. His attending doctor Conrad Murray was convicted of manslaughter, and served two years in prison, from where he was released last year.
