Monday 12th October, 8am GBT, Radio 1 broadcasted the first UK airplay of new MJ single ‘This is It’, one of the only known unreleased MJ singles the world has never heard. Said to be recorded in 1983 the song was originally intended for a duet with canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka for his album ‘Walk A Fine Line’ under the original title of ‘I Never Heard’, however accompanying the new Docu-Film released in cinemas on October 28th, this single is smooth throwback to the 80’s soul we used to love MJ for.
Like most of his early work with the Jackson’s and his debut success with ‘Off the Wall’, it feels heavily re-mastered but nevertheless still possesses the smooth vocal’s for which the world fell in love with MJ for, a very smooth record and one that can confidently sit with his better material (unlike much of his late ‘Invincible’ material),with the title single now available all that waits is the world-wide verdict on the hugely anticipated motion picture, a verdict will be here soon.
