According to NME, the record includes a mere eight songs, though diehard Jacksons are unlikely to care. Xscape, helmed by executive producer L.A. Reid, features previously unreleased King of Pop material, over four decades of music to which Reid was able to gain access.

The already-leaked "Xscape" is actually the last song on the album, joined by "A Place with No Name", the Paul Anka-penned "Love Never Felt So Good" and more.

Xscape is said to have been largely modernized in terms of production by Reid and others, including Rodney Jerkins, Timbaland and StarGate. A deluxe version of the album will include the eight songs in their original formats, plus a bonus track that has not yet been identified.
