Album "XSCAPE"

    'Everyone Did A Really Great Job':
    Michael Jackson 'Xscape' Producer Praises Posthumous Album
    The record will be released on May 12



    Michael Jackson's forthcoming posthumous album has been praised by one of its producers, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins,
    who admits that everyone involved with the project “did a really great job.”


    The album features remastered songs which were completed by the King of Pop before his death in 2009 and guest
    vocals from the likes of Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige and D'Angelo.


    Revealing how he came to contribute to the album, Jerkins reveals he turned down the opportunity to work on Jackson's
    first posthumous album in 2010 which was curated by the singer's Estate.


    “I was asked to be on that album and to produce like five songs, but I turned it down. I just felt like it wasn't time,”
    Jerkins told the Associated Press.


    “For me it wasn't about the label, it wasn't about the estate's approval; it wasn't about all of that. I had a personal relationship
    with Michael, (so) it was about, 'What would he want from this? What would he want it to sound like now?'”


    Speaking about his relationship with Jackson, Jerkins said: “Even when Michael was alive, we never stopped working on the song 'Xscape.'
    It was one of those songs where he specifically said to me, 'It has to see the light of day one day.'


    “And I then I spoke to him — I would say 2008, 2009, something like that — and he was telling me, 'I'm getting ready to do another album.
    You gotta get to work. Start working on ideas.' And then he passed away.”


    Revealing how everyone gelled together on the album, which has been produced by the likes of Timbaland and Stargate, Jerkins said:
    “Everyone did a really great job on this project.”

    Zitat von Screamlouder

    ...ich muss mal generell sagen, dass es super schade ist das Michael zu Lebzeiten so an Timbaland vorbei gerauscht ist. Die Kombi verspricht jetzt posthum schlichtweg genial zu werden.


    Sie wollten zusammenarbeiten, dazu kam es leider nicht.


    Zitat von Ghost


    Aber die richtig starken Outtakes sind dann wohl doch erschöpflich


    Da sollte es noch ein Paar geben. Spontan fällt mir da Men in Black ein. Berichten zufolge ist das ein richtig starkes, von MJ komplett aufgenommenes (keine Demo) Dangerous Outtake.

    Michael Jackson thrills in 'Love Never Felt So Good'
    Mikael Wood May 2, 2014, 10:57 a.m.


    Here's something unexpected: The new Michael Jackson single rules.


    When Epic Records announced in March that it would release a
    posthumous album from the pop superstar who died in 2009 -- another
    posthumous album, that is -- Pop & Hiss saw little reason to get
    excited.


    In 2010, the label's disappointing "Michael" collection suggested
    there wasn't much of value in the Epic vaults; if anything, the album
    boosted your sense of Jackson's genius as a recordmaker, in that he
    appeared to know exactly what was worth putting out (and what wasn't)
    during his lifetime.


    But the release Thursday night of "Love Never Felt So Good" -- the first single from "Xscape," due out May 13 -- complicates that impression. Simply put, Jackson was sitting on a piece of disco-soul gold.


    With its buoyant keyboards and effervescent groove -- not to mention
    Jackson's typically sumptuous vocal melody -- "Love Never Felt So Good"
    would have fit right in on 1979's "Off the Wall" or its world-changing 1982 follow-up, "Thriller."


    According to a press release, Jackson wrote the tune in 1983 with
    Paul Anka, "around the time they recorded 'This Is It,'" featured in the
    2009 concert film of the same title. The new version was produced by
    John McClain, co-executor of Jackson's estate.


    Epic also issued a remix of the song featuring duet vocals by Justin
    Timberlake and a muscled-up beat from Timberlake, Timbaland and Jerome
    "J-Roc" Harmon; they're among the producers whom Epic chief L.A. Reid
    selected to help with "contemporizing" the archived recordings slated
    for release on "Xscape."


    But their additions to "Love Never Felt So Good" -- a song that
    reminds us how peerless Jackson could be -- hardly represent an
    improvement. Listen to the original above.

    schön gemacht.. einfach schick.. nichts viel gehype.. genau richtig..

    Was ich an der Produktion als durchaus gelungen betrachte ist die Tatsache, dass man die Stimmfarbe von Michael mit scheinbar viel Liebe und Kenntnis der Person hervorgehoben hat, so das man ein Hauch seiner lebendigen Seele zu spüren vermag. Generell hauts mich auch noch Jahre nach seinem Tod immer wieder um, wie viel Gefühl, Geschichte, gar Melodramatik MJ in paar einfache Sätze hineinhaut. Man merkt an Michael einfach, dass er nicht nur ein hervorragender Künstler mit jedemenge Talent sein durfte, viel mehr konnte dieses erstrahlen, weil er in dieses Vermögen sein ganzes seelisches Leben hineinpackte und so eine Form von griechischer Tragödie im Stimmlichen, wie auch physischen Ausdruck erblicken ließ.

    Michael Jackson’s ‘Love Never Felt So Good’ Is So Good!

    Need a little Friday afternoon pick-me-up? Seems a lot of us do.


    Trending big now on Facebook is the new Michael Jackson song, Love
    Never Felt So Good. There are two versions — one is just Jackson and
    one’s a duet with Justin Timberlake. The track was written and
    originally recorded and produced by Jackson and Paul Anka in 1983, with
    new production by John McClain.


    Usher debuted the song on Thursday night’s iHeartRadio awards show.


    The catchy tune, which USA TODAY’s Elysa Gardner says “has
    an old-school snap and tingle, with warm, leaping strings,” is earning
    raves ’round the Web.


    Slate says the “mid-tempo dance track is surprisingly good.”


    Defamer says, “The new Michael Jackson song is actually really good.”


    MTV calls it “kind of amazing, actually.”


    The Los Angeles Times says: “Michael Jackson thrills in ‘Love Never Felt So Good.’”


    Here’s the version that features a duet with Timberlake.


    Take your pick — and start dancing.
