Michael Jackson Gets Shaken & Stirred With Remix Tribute Album
Michael Jackson's passing has meant that the world, at least for the time being, will not be lacking for remixes to some of his greatest songs. Unsurprisingly, Michael Jackson: Remix Suite 1 from Universal Motown has rounded up some of the top producers in the business to put their spin on some MJ tunes. Promising 20 tracks, a sampler has leaked with mixed results. While Polow Da Don's and The Neptune's tracks are largely forgettable, Stargate has done a typically futuristic spin on "Skywriter." Expect Q-Tip, Ryan Leslie, and Tricky Stewart to get in on the remixing as well. My personal fave from what I've heard thus far is the swinging reggae romp of a good time from Salaam Remi's take on the Pop classic "ABC" which you can sample below. For all interested parties, this project is slated to drop October 27th. [H/T:JSN]
