Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake - Love Never Felt So Good

This new track from Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake is suddenly all over the place. I wasn't sure at first but after a few listens I'm sold. Justin's vocals really suit the track and unlike some previous 'contemporising' of Jackson tracks, this sounds like Justin could have actually been in the studio with Michael back when it was originally recorded in the early 80s. That said I still think Xscape is a crap name for the album. Read more about "LNFSG" in the Rolling Stone article below...

Hear Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake 'Love Never Felt So Good'
The track is the first to emerge from Jackson's forthcoming posthumous album, 'Xscape'

By Kory Grow May 2, 2014

Record exec and producer Antonio "L.A." Reid introduced a brand new Michael Jackson song at the iHeartRadio Music Awards this week by saying, "When I first went into Michael's archives and heard the in-the-raw version of the song you're about to hear, I was instantly reminded that, yes, Michael Jackson is the greatest." That song, "Love Never Felt So Good" – which was "contemporized," to use Reid's word, with modern instrumentation and a Justin Timberlake guest appearance for the posthumous full-length Xscape, due out May 13th– turned out to be an upbeat, disco-ish pop number that recalled Jackson's Off the Wall and Thriller radio-friendly dance cuts.

That's because the song dates back to 1983, the year after Thriller came out. Jackson co-wrote, co-produced and recorded the track with singer-songwriter Paul Anka ("Put Your Head on My Shoulder," Tom Jones' "She's a Lady," Frank Sinatra's "My Way") around the same time they recorded the 2009 Jackson track "This Is It." The original demo for the song is online, as is a version of it recorded by Johnny Mathis in 1984. The co-executor of Jackson's estate, John McClain, worked on contemporizing the Xscape track.

Reid executive produced Xscape, tasking recent hit producers with making the songs he found in Jackson's archives sound fresh. He enlisted Timbaland as the lead producer and brought in additional producers include Rodney Jerkins, Stargate and Jerome "Jroc" Harmon. The album will come out in standard and deluxe configurations, the latter of which includes the recordings in their original form.

Michael Jackson - P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) The Reflex Re√ision

The Reflex Re√ision's 'snippet' of "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" is all that's currently available of the remix of this Michael Jackson track - can't wait to hear the whole thing. "P.Y.T." was originally released as the 6th single release from parent album Thriller back in 1983, but even although there were only nine tracks on the album, "P.Y.T." wasn't to be the last single release - that honour would go to the album's title track.

How good is this? Michael Jackson's "Bad" like you never heard it before. Funkylicious!

Michael Jackson: You Rock My World

For some reason "Midas Touch" has put me in the mood for some Michael Jackson. "You Rock My World" is a killer Jackson track that's not as well known as some of his earlier mega-hits, but I really like it (though the spoken intro with Chris Tucker is a bit ropey). It's from the 2001 album Invincible - the last studio album Jackson recorded.
