Our Take

MICHAEL JACKSON's posthumous release Xscape is a rollercoaster of an album, with highs and lows that will leave you questioning whether they should have left the King of Pop's legacy untouched. The album kicks off with "Love Never Felt So Good," a funky disco-infused track that will have you grooving along in no time. But just when you think you've found your groove, MJ throws a curveball with the dark and brooding "Chicago," a song that feels almost out of place in the otherwise upbeat album.

Tracks like "Slave to the Rhythm" and "A Place With No Name" showcase Jackson's signature vocals and dance-worthy beats, while "Blue Gangsta" feels like a forgettable filler track that adds nothing to the overall experience. The production on Xscape is top-notch, with slick beats and catchy hooks that will have you hitting repeat on more than one occasion.

However, the real standout on this album is the reworked version of "Xscape," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Jackson's vocal range like never before. This track alone makes the entire album worth a listen.

Overall, Xscape is a mixed bag that will satisfy die-hard Michael Jackson fans but may leave casual listeners wanting more. While it's clear that Jackson's legacy will always live on, it remains to be seen whether these posthumous releases are truly doing his memory justice.

His signature falsetto vocals and electrifying dance moves quickly set him apart from his siblings, catapulting him into superstardom. Jackson's solo career took off in the 1980s, with the release of his iconic album "Thriller." Boasting hits like "Billie Jean" and "Beat It," the album solidified Jackson's status as a music legend. His music videos were mini cinematic masterpieces, setting the bar high for visual storytelling in the industry. However, Jackson's personal life was marred by controversy and speculation. From his ever-changing appearance to his legal battles, the media could not get enough of the enigmatic star. Despite the controversies, Jackson's music continued to resonate with fans, showcasing his undeniable talent and creativity. From his infectious dance anthems to his soulful ballads, Jackson's discography is a testament to his versatility as an artist. His influence can be heard in the work of countless musicians today, solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest performers of all time. So, as we look back on the life and career of Michael Jackson, let us remember him not just for his music, but for the impact he had on the industry as a whole. Rest in peace, King of Pop. Your music will live on forever.
