Xscape is the second posthumous album by American entertainer Michael Jackson, composed of previously unreleased tracks that date back as far as 1980. It was released on May 13, 2014 by Epic Records, MJJ Music and Sony Music, and is the tenth release by Sony and/or Motown since Jackson's death on June 25, 2009. L.A. Reid, chairman of Epic Records, curated and served as executive producer for the album enlisting Timbaland to lead a team of record producers, including StarGate, Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, John McClain, and Rodney Jerkins, to remix and contemporize the eight selected tracks. Jerkins produced the title song and is the only original song producer to work on the final productions.

The standard version of Xscape features eight tracks, each reworked between 2013–14, whilst the deluxe version also includes the original versions of the songs which were recorded between 1980–2008, a bonus track and two videos. Xscape was promoted across the Sony group of companies; Sony Mobile used a snippet of "Slave to the Rhythm" in their advertising campaign for the Xperia Z2 mobile phone. The album was preceded by the release of its lead single, "Love Never Felt So Good" on May 1, 2014, which included a newly recorded version featuring Justin Timberlake. A second single, "A Place with No Name" was released later that year in August. Xscape was generally well received by critics and would go on to be certified Platinum in France, Poland and South Korea as well as earning a number of Gold certifications elsewhere in the world.

Background

Officially announced on March 31, 2014, Xscape features 8 tracks which were originally recorded between 1980 and 2008.[3][4][5] It is the second such album of posthumous material to be released by Epic Records since Jackson's death in 2009.[6] The title track "Xscape" was recorded in 1999 for Jackson's tenth studio album Invincible.[7] American producer Timbaland and Epic Records chairman and CEO L.A. Reid executively produced the album,[8] with additional production from Rodney Jerkins, StarGate and John McClain.[9] Timbaland said that Reid had personally approached the producer at his home to discuss the new Jackson project.[10] Jesse Johnson, former lead guitarist of the American band The Time revealed that he had worked on elements of one song that featured Mary J. Blige, Questlove, and D'Angelo.[11] However, the track failed to be included in the final track listing of the album. Reid said that they wanted to honor Jackson's legacy when naming the album, "the title of this album (Xscape) 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 (Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, HIStory and Invincible). This is true of the new project."[12]

Recording history

"Love Never Felt So Good" was co-written by Canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka[13] and was originally recorded in 1980 as a demo with Anka at the piano. The song was also recorded by American entertainer Johnny Mathis.[14] A duet version of the song with Justin Timberlake was recorded and released as a single – the song features percussion and breaths from Jackson's 1979 song "Workin' Day And Night".

"Chicago" (originally called "She Was Lovin' Me") was recorded in 1999 but failed to make the Invincible album.

"Loving You" was recorded in 1985 before the "Bad" sessions started.

"A Place With No Name" was written and recorded in 1998. The track resembles "A Horse with No Name," a hit song by American rock band America. A 24-second snippet was leaked online by TMZ in July 2009 and a full version was leaked in December 2013.[15]

"Slave to the Rhythm" was recorded during the Dangerous sessions in 1990. A Tricky Stewart remix version leaked on the internet in 2010, which was intended for the first posthumous album, Michael. Justin Bieber also recorded a "duet version" featured with Jackson's vocals, which was leaked in August 2013. The Michael Jackson Estate afterwards stated that they had not authorized the release of this recording.[16]

"Do You Know Where Your Children Are" was written and recorded during the "Bad" sessions. However, the song was later picked up and reworked for the "Dangerous" album but did not make the cut. The version appearing on Xscape was recorded in 1986.

"Blue Gangsta" was written and recorded in 1998 but failed to make the Invincible album. Rapper Tempamental remixed the song without Jackson's permission and made it available on his MySpace web page in late 2006. The remix titled "Gangsta (No Friend of Mine)" featured Pras of the Fugees.[17]

"Xscape" was written and recorded in 2000 during his Invincible album recording sessions but failed to make the album. The song was completed in 2001 and leaked on the internet the following year. The tune has been given a modern spin by its original producer, Rodney Jerkins, and features samples of "You Rock My World", a song recorded in the same era as "Invincible".

Promotion and singles

Two official singles, "Love Never Felt So Good" and "A Place with No Name", were released from Xscape. "Slave to the Rhythm" was the first song announced for the album, and appeared on several notable music charts due to digital downloads and streaming. "Loving You" was released as a promotional single to UK radios.

In February 2014, Sony and Jackson's estate announced a partnership with Sony Mobile that saw the release of an ad incorporating a new version of the track "Slave to the Rhythm", which was confirmed as one of the album tracks.[18] The commercial advertisement was for Sony Mobile's Xperia Z2 mobile phone.[19] The album had been aired to the UK media in the basement of a Knightsbridge hotel on March 31, 2014. The journalists were permitted to hear the album once without any electronic devices, and song titles were kept secret.[20] The entertainment correspondents for some UK media, such as Sky News,[21] London Evening Standard,[20] The Daily Telegraph,[22] Mixmag,[24] The Guardian[23] and Digital Spy[24] were invited.

On April 30, it was revealed that "Love Never Felt So Good" would be unveiled at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on May 1 as the album's first single, contradicting statements by Timbaland that suggested that "Chicago" would be released first.[10] It was co-written by Canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka,[13] and features Justin Timberlake.[25] "Love Never Felt So Good" was previously recorded by American entertainer Johnny Mathis.[14] The digital download for the single became available on iTunes at 0:01 EDT on May 2, 2014 for the album version and the duet version with Justin Timberlake.[26] The release date of the single to urban radio stations confirmed as May 6, 2014.[27] On May 4, the track "Chicago" became available to Music Unlimited subscribers, being followed by "Loving You", "A Place with No Name", "Slave to the Rhythm", and "Do You Know Where Your Children Are" in the succeeding days.[28]

The Xscape standard and Deluxe Editions were available for pre-order beginning April 1 on iTunes.com/MichaelJackson and elsewhere, and available at all retailers worldwide on May 13.[29]

A Pepper's ghost[30] illusion of Michael Jackson performed "Slave to the Rhythm" at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards on May 18, 2014. The performance was choreographed by the Talauega brothers and was directed by Jamie King.[31] A day after the coverage, the "live" performance of "Slave to the Rhythm" was uploaded to Michael Jackson's VEVO YouTube channel.[32]

Following the success of "Love Never Felt So Good" on the Billboard Hot 100, the song rocketed into the iTunes Top 5 in the US, peaking at #1 in 17 countries and landing in the Top 5 in 67 countries around the world, within 24 hours of release. "Love Never Felt So Good" marks Jackson's 49th Hot 100 entry and it made multiple debuts on various radio formats charts.[33] Jackson became the first solo artist to have a single reach the top 10 in Six different decades, (1960's 70's 80's 90's 2000's & 10's ).[34] "Slave to the Rhythm", which debuted at number 45 on the Billboard charts, was Jackson's 50th Hot 100 hit.[35]

She concluded that "putting out music that falls below Jackson's standards detracts from the carefully constructed catalog he spent decades creating and protecting."[55]

Commercial performance

Xscape became Jackson's tenth UK number-one album after it debuted atop the UK Albums Chart with 47,764 first-week sales.[56][57] Currently, sales of the album in the UK stand at 135,500 copies and has been certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry.
