Coming on the heels of news that Epic Records would release a posthumous album by the King of Pop — featuring "contemporized" versions of previously recorded and unreleased vocal tracks — the title track off Michael Jackson's XSCAPE is now streaming. Jackson's vocals were recorded in 2001 during his sessions for Invincible, and the song is a pretty satisfying blend of funk, pop, and classic Michael. Take a listen over at Gigwise — there are many a trademark "woo-hoo!" to enjoy. XSCAPE is out May 13.
