MUMBAI: Michael Jackson fans have got the first glimpse of the late singer’s upcoming posthumous album ‘Xscape’, after its first single ‘Love Never Felt So Good’ was released on 2 May. The audio track was released on Youtube a day after its worldwide release at the iHeart Music Awards. R&B/ Hip Hop singer Usher performed to the track at the award ceremony which was held on 1 May.
Two versions of ‘Love Never Felt So Good’ have been released; one sung by the King of Pop entirely and the other features Justin Timberlake. The track was written and recorded with legendary singer/ songwriter Paul Anka in 1983. The original version is classic Michael Jackson that includes a disco theme and some groovy beats. The duet version features guest vocals by one of the biggest pop stars today- Timberlake, along with some modern touches, but without taking away the original sound of the track.
Soon after the track was released, Timberlake tweeted the link to the track with the message “#PLAYITLOUD”.
