New Michael Jackson Song For Release
‘This Is It’, a previously unheard song by Michael Jackson, will be released as the singer’s next single on October 12.
The single features backing vocals by Jackson's brothers and will also be included on Jackson’s next album, a 2-CD affair, alongside previously unreleased versions of some of the singer’s major hits.
Prior to his death in June, the singer had been collaborating with artists like Akon and Will.i.am, and had also recorded tracks at Grouse Lodge Studios in Westmeath.
‘This Is It’ will be the first new recording to be released since Jackson’s death and it carries the same name as the series of comeback concerts planned for London's O2 arena. It will also be used during the closing credits of a new film, also entitled This Is It, which is based on footage shot during rehearsals for the London shows.
