Michael Jackson EscapeYes we know he’s not longer with us, but the Estate of Michael Jackson are set to release through Sony Music ‘XSCAPE’, an album of new music by the man best known as the King Of Pop.

The album is set for release on May 13th and will see eight new tracks which the world will be hearing for the very first time on this album. XSCAPE will also come in deluxe edition which includes all of the sourced Michael Jackson recordings in their original form. 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.

The album is available to pre-order from now. We’ll be grabbing it, if only to moonwalk in tribute to the man’s musical prowess.
