Singing From The Grave

In death,as in life,Michael Jackson continues to make news. Last December,a year-and-a-half after his death,Jackson’s first posthumous album,titled Michael,was released. Recently,his former physician,Conrad Murray’s trial began. And now,on a happier note,Epic Records,in conjunction with the estate of the late king of pop,is all set to release Immortal,which will be his second posthumous album.

Being described as a musical tapestry,the album is a soundtrack to the Canadian entertainment company,Cirque du Soleil’s show,“Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour”.

Led by musical designer Kevin Antunes,the soundtrack comprises more than 40 of Jackson’s greatest original recordings,reworked by Antunes. Tracks on the album include mash-ups between Planet Earth and Earth Song; Beat It,Jam and State Of Shock; This Place Hotel,Smooth Criminal and Dangerous; and reworked versions of They Don’t Care About Us,Man In The Mirror and Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground).

The album will release across India on November 21.
