The tracklisting for Michael Jackson's upcoming posthumous album of previously unreleased material has been unveiled. Check out the songs that will be on Xscape below.
It was announced that eight unreleased tracks of completed vocals by the King Of Pop had been unearthed by Epic Records boss LA Reid, and produced by the likes of Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, Jerome “Jroc” Harmon and John McClain to add a 'fresh, contemporary sound that retains Jackson’s essence and integrity'.
The end result was Xscape - to be released on 13 May, 2014.
Now, the full tracklisting has been announced:
01 ‘Love Never Felt So Good’
02 ‘Chicago’
03 ‘Loving You’
04 ‘A Place With No Name’
05 ‘Slave To The Rhythm’
06 ‘Do You Know Where Your Children Are’
07 ‘Blue Gangsta’
08 ‘Xscape’
Watch the trailer for Xscape below
As you can see, one of the 'lost' tracks is called 'Do You Know Where Your Children Are' - and tells the story of an abused 12-year-old who runs away from home and turns to prostitution.
The lyrics read: "She wrote that she is tired of stepdaddy using her/Saying that he’ll buy her things, while sexually abusing her."
The track is sure to raise eyebrows among some MJ critics, as the Thriller star was twice accused of child sex abuse charges. He was cleared in a high-profile case in 2005.
