Epic Records has released Immortal, the new album from Michael Jackson and soundtrack for Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil currently traveling though North America.Musical designer Kevin Antunes worked with Jamie King, the writer/director of Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour, in redesigning and reimagining more than 40 of Michael Jackson's greatest original recordings, creating a fully immersive experience into Michael's world by synching this re-envisioned music with the visuals on screen and the live action unfolding before audiences on stage.
After spending a year in the studio working with Michael's original multi-track master recordings, Kevin created this new soundscape to Michael's artistry while preserving the power and familiarity of his unparalleled voice and his legendary tracks. The result was not just a unique musical journey through Michael's world but also an album that offers a fresh listening experience. Even those who are still waiting to see the traveling arena show will appreciate the depth and richness of Michael's music in an entirely new way.
"Immortal Megamix," the debut track off IMMORTAL was unveiled to the world online on October 31st. Included in the unique mix are "Can You Feel It," "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," "Billie Jean," and "Black Or White." Upon release, critics began showering praise for the track including Entertainment Weekly who had this to say, ""Immortal Megamix" kind of rules: a perfect pop primer in a nine-minute package."
