Album of unheard Michael Jackson songs to be released in May
Eight previously unreleased songs by the late Michael Jackson will be part of a new album, Xscape, the singer's estate and Sony Music Entertainment's Epic Records said on Monday.
The songs were unearthed from Jackson's archive of recorded material by LA Reid, the chairman and chief executive of Epic Records. Xscape will be released on 13 May.
The new album is the latest venture for Jackson's estate to capitalise on the posthumous popularity of the King of Pop.
Jackson died in 2009 at age 50 in Los Angeles from an overdose of the powerful anaesthetic propofol given to him by his personal physician while he was rehearsing for a series of 50 comeback concerts in London.
The unreleased tracks have been re-produced by the likes of present-day hitmakers Jerome "Jroc" Harmon, who has helped produce hits for Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake, and Norwegian duo Tor Hermansen and Mikkel Eriksen, who work under the name Stargate and have produced hits for Rihanna and Selena Gomez.
Top pop producers Rodney Jerkins and John McClain were also enlisted to make the songs sound contemporary in style, Reid said.
One of the songs is called Xscape, which was taken for the album title to continue Jackson's tradition of using a one-word song title on the album for its name, Reid said.
The age of the material or the remaining song names have yet to be released. Hip hop and pop producer Timbaland will be executive producer of the album.

MTN sacks 252 workers
Dwindling revenues appear to be taking their toll on operators in the telecommunications sector with the loss of more than 2 250 jobs in recent days.
While Etisalat sacked 2 000 workers last week, MTN has announced that 252 engineers have been relieved of their jobs.
Explaining its decision to terminate the employment of the workers, Etisalat said their services were no longer needed in the company.
"Etisalat Nigeria would like to state that there have been recent changes within the organization. Due to these changes, the services of some staff were no longer required.
“We would like to reaffirm that, as responsible corporate citizens, we remain committed to growing and developing our people in line with our core values,” the company said in a statement.
On its part, MTN said the affected engineers were left out following a recent managed services contracts it entered with global telecommunications solutions providers, Ericsson and Huawei.
The contract according to the company, would see Ericsson and Huawei managed MTN infrastructures including base stations while MTN focuses on it core business of providing mobile services.
The company said it took the decision to focus strictly on areas that would directly impact on its operations, while outsourcing ancillary services to independent service providers.
MTN further explained that it was facing the challenge of not only stagnating revenues but also increasing operating expenses.
It however said that some workers had been absorbed by Ericsson and Huawei.
The fate of the other workers is unclear as a source in the company explained that they might have decided to leave outright rather than transfer their services to other companies.
The source also said that 20 unengaged workers may have fallen short of the requirements of Ericsson and Huawei.
MTN Spokesperson, Funmi Onajide, declined to give further details on the issue.
