New Michael Jackson Album To Be Released In November

Epic Records in conjunction with the Estate of Michael Jackson will release Immortal on November 21, which is the musical tapestry for Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour.

Immortal will be released as both a deluxe double disc version and single disc.

Led by musical designer, Kevin Antunes (Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Madonna) Immortal takes a fresh, creative approach in redesigning and reimagining more than 40 of Michael Jackson's greatest original recordings into a compilation that allows listeners to experience his music in an entirely new way. After spending a year in the studio working with Michael's original multi-track master recordings, Kevin created IMMORTAL which offers listeners a new soundscape to Michael's artistry while preserving the power and familiarity of his unparalleled voice and his legendary tracks.

He said Michael's legacy as the greatest entertainer of our lifetime is inspiring beyond words.

"It was clear from the start that Michael's voice and overall musical essence was the sole/soul source of creative energy driving the project. From the studio to the stage, there's an undeniable integrity and resolute truth in Michael's vocal performances that are highlighted in the Immortal arrangements. It was built with love and respect for Michael's music, his family, and his millions of fans around the world."

Immortal unfolds Jackson's musical legacy with redesigned versions of his hits, electrifying mashups and newly discovered outtakes fans have never heard before including an alternate take on the Jackson 5's "ABC" and a choir that Michael recorded for "They Don't Really Care About Us."

The North American leg of Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour kicked off last night in Montreal, and will include an extended stay in Las Vegas in December. The epic show, which was written and directed by Jamie King is a riveting fusion of Michael Jackson music, choreography and Cirque du Soleil creativity that offers fans worldwide a unique view into the spirit, passion and heart of the artistic genius who forever transformed global pop culture.
