[NEW RELEASES] MICHAEL JACKSON
Published: 18 May. 2014, 18:52
MICHAEL JACKSON,“Xscape”Label: Sony Music, Genre: Pop
Like “Michael,’’ this latest posthumous release is a compilation of Jackson outtakes that includes material from decades ago, so there’s already a dated feel to much of the album, despite the wizardry and production under the helm of Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid, who worked with Jackson in the studio for one of the tracks.
Putting out music that falls below Jackson’s standards detracts from the carefully constructed catalog the King of Pop spent decades creating and protecting. The holders of Jackson’s estate would be wise to apply some of the same standards the next time they consider releasing another posthumous album.
