Michael Jackson Xscape -deluxe Edition- 2014 ^new^ Review

: A film detailing the collaborative process between the Estate and various producers. Key Tracks & Production

The primary disc of Xscape was executive produced by L.A. Reid, who employed a philosophy of "contemporizing." Reid gathered a team of elite producers, including Timbaland, Stargate, and Rodney Jerkins, to strip down Jackson’s demos and rebuild them with modern sonic textures. The result is an album that feels surprisingly cohesive. Unlike the fragmented nature of the 2010 album Michael , these tracks do not sound like graveyard exhumations; they sound like active, breathing pop records. The title track, "Xscape," drives with a militaristic percussion and a bassline that vibrates with urgency, while "Love Never Felt So Good" swaggers with a jubilant, disco-funk energy that fits seamlessly alongside modern radio hits. These productions proved that Jackson’s melodies were robust enough to withstand modernization—they were, in essence, hits waiting to happen. Michael Jackson Xscape -Deluxe Edition- 2014
