New Michael Jackson Album XSCAPE Featuring Eight New Songs Is To Be Released In May.

A new Michael Jackson album featuring eight new songs is set to be released. Epic Records boss L.A. Reid has teamed up with a host of top producers to 'contemporise' songs by the King of Pop – who died in June 2009 aged 50 – as part of a new record which will be released on May 13 and called XSCAPE.  The Estate of Michael Jackson has provided L.A. with unlimited access to four decades of Michael's material.
The name XSCAPE is a nod to the late singer's favoured naming process of picking one of his songs to name his record after. It was written by Michael and Jerkins, and produced by Jackson and Jerkins.. A Deluxe Edition of the record will also be released which will include all of the sourced Michael Jackson recordings in their original form. The XSCAPE standard and Deluxe Edition’s are available for pre-order beginning April 1 on iTunes.com/MichaelJackson and elsewhere, and available at all retailers worldwide on May 13.  Michael's last studio album was his 10th and final record Invincible, which was released in 2001 and featured singles You Rock My World, Cry and Butterflies.
