Informative Report: Michael Jackson Xscape -Deluxe Edition- 2014
Deluxe Edition Tracklist
For longtime fans, disc two is the reason to buy the Deluxe Edition. These are the raw, unpolished demos—some recorded as early as 1980 ("Love Never Felt So Good") and as late as 2007 ("Xscape"). Listening to these reveals the genius of Michael Jackson the arranger and vocalist, separate from any trendy production. Michael Jackson Xscape -Deluxe Edition- 2014
Released in May 2014, Michael Jackson – Xscape (Deluxe Edition) is the second posthumous compilation of unreleased material from the King of Pop. Curated by Epic Records chairman L.A. Reid, the project features eight tracks originally recorded between 1980 and 1999 that were "contemporized" by a team of leading producers.
"Do You Know Where Your Children Are"
The project was spearheaded by Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid, who was tasked with curating an album that respected Jackson’s legacy while introducing his genius to a new generation. The result was a dual-pronged release: the Deluxe Edition of Xscape offered fans both a modernized “contemporized” version of each song and the original demos, allowing for a fascinating musical archaeology of the late artist’s process.
The guiding philosophy behind Xscape was unique. L.A. Reid assembled an all-star team of producers—Timbaland (who served as the album’s executive producer), Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, John McClain, and Jackson’s longtime collaborator, Michael Durham Prince. Their mission was not to complete unfinished songs but to take what Jackson had left behind and "contemporize" it. Released in May 2014, Michael Jackson – Xscape
