We get a chance to hear from some of the producers of Michael Jackson’s new album XSCAPE, including Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and Stargate in part 1 of this collaborators series.
XSCAPE is an album of previously unreleased Michael Jackson songs. The album is produced and curated by Epic Records Chairman and CEO L.A. Reid, who retooled the production to add a fresh, contemporary sound that retains Jackson’s essence and integrity. It’s a process Reid calls “contemporizing.” The list of producers include global hitmakers Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, and John McClain.
