Michael Jackson - Slave To The Rhythm (Hologram Performance) (2014)

The king lives on. Five Years after his death, Michael Jackson was resurrected at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on last Sunday. The King Of Pop appeared as a hologram to perform the Timbaland-produced “Slave To The Rhythm” off his posthumous album Xscape, which was released last week.

Much like Tupac at Coachella, the digital creation was eerily lifelike, dancing its way across the stage. The controversial performance drew a mixed response on Twitter. Some were impressed, while others were skeptical. Watch the MJ moment that had everyone talking.

Michael Jackson’s ‘Slave To The Rhythm’ Innovation

Michael Jackson - Slave To The Rhythm (Timbaland) (14’)

And ladies and gents, here is the fifth tune from Michael Jackson's 'Xscape' titled Slave To The Rhythm, the first tune we've heard from the MJ x Timbo project and is probably my favourite so far, this is a banger right here. I also have to say that I overplayed my Edited Version since it leaked, but gotdamn this is dope thanks to Sony Music Unlimited Stream for the leak, check out the tune below as well as the Original one from 1998 produced by Michael himself.

It’s been almost a year since Timbaland revealed that he is officially working on a full Michael Jackson album, and we finally get to hear the first preview of how that MJ x Timbo will sound like. "I have a lot of unreleased Michael Jackson," Timbo said last year. "L.A. Reid came to my house, [he's] like 'I got something big I wanna do. Me and you we gotta do something big.' And he said, 'How would you like to do Michael Jackson?' Of course I'll do it. It would complete my legacy."

The Estate of Michael Jackson and Epic Records partnered with Sony Mobile for a 90 second spot for the Xperia Z2 phone with a preview of Michael Jackson’s ‘Slave To The Rhythm’ mixed by Timbaland, all I can say is dopeness, can’t wait for upcoming Michael Jackson x Timbaland Album. I’ve also managed to make the preview longer, check out the commercial and the tune below.
As for the rumored first single "Chicago," Timbaland says it's not confirmed but he thinks it should be the unnamed album's lead cut because it "sounds like today." Unfortunately, the producer and the pop star never got to meet in person, but they did talk on the phone once. Doing a slight Jackson impersonation, Timbo says that Jackson told him, "I like your stuff. You're good." Thanks to Davidprimer.
