New Michael Jackson single released
As promised, a new Michael Jackson single has been released today, though it seems that you can't actually buy it. This Is It is currently streaming on the star's official website and has been released to radio stations.
The song, which features backing vocals from Jackson's brothers, is a mid-tempo ballad that's rumoured to be an outtake from The King Of Pop's 1991 album Dangerous.
This Is It will feature in the documentary film of the same name that will be released on 28 October and run in cinemas for two weeks
It's also the only original song to be included on a new double-CD retrospective of Jackson's career (again called This Is It) that will be released on 26 October. This is now available for pre-order. A 4-disc vinyl set has been announced, too.
Check out a clip of the single in the video below.
