Michael Jackson's posthumous album, Xscape, is a masterful collection of unreleased material, carefully curated by L.A. Reid, chairman of Epic Records, and executive produced by the renowned Timbaland. Released on 9 May 2014, four years after the release of Michael, this album is a testament to the King of Pop's enduring legacy.
Xscape features a range of tracks, including the soulful 'Love Never Felt So Good', the upbeat 'Chicago', and the haunting 'Slave to the Rhythm'. The album's title, Xscape, is a nod to Jackson's tradition of one-word titles, such as Thriller and Bad, and also shares its name with a song on the album. This deliberate choice reflects the album's themes of escape and liberation.
With a duration of 1 hour and 13 minutes, Xscape is a substantial and immersive listening experience. The album's tracklist includes original versions of the songs, offering a unique glimpse into Jackson's creative process. From the funky 'Blue Gangsta' to the melancholic 'Loving You', each track showcases Jackson's incredible vocal range and emotional depth.
Released through Epic Records and MJJ Music, Xscape is a must-listen for fans of Michael Jackson and anyone who appreciates exceptional music. This album is a celebration of Jackson's artistry and a reminder of his profound influence on the music world.
