The new single from Michael Jackson's posthumous album Xscape has arrived, and it's retro King of Pop, featuring the reigning prince of pop, Justin Timberlake.
The single, Love Never Felt So Good, debuted Thursday night at the iHeartRadio awards. The song uses material from 1983 -- the year after Thriller was released.
Jackson's friend and Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid introduced the song at the awards, saying, "When I first went into Michael's archives and heard the in-the-raw version of the song you're about to hear, I was instantly reminded that, yes, Michael Jackson is the greatest."
Timberlake also shared the news on his Instagram and Twitter throughout the week
The album will feature eight songs Jackson recorded between 1983 and 1999. Producers including Timbaland and Rodney Jerkins were employed by Epic Records to retool the material and prepare them for release. Xscape is set to drop on May 13.
