There is a new Michael Jackson album out there: called “Xscape,” it includes previously unheard songs, material that Michael scrapped from other albums because he wasn’t happy with it. These songs have been remixed and are now released by the Michael Jackson Estate.

The first single off “Xscape” is actually a collaboration with Justin Timberlake, an artist who credited Michael with inspiring him in sound and choreography since before his departure from ‘N Sync to pursue a solo career.

In this sense, a collaboration more than makes sense.

The official video for this song, called “Love Never Felt So Good,” has just been released and, as usual, you will find it embedded in full below. It features footage of Justin recreating some of Michael’s most iconic moves, with some help from a numerous group of dancers, interspersed with footage from Michael’s now-classic videos.

I know there’s a lot of negative buzz around “Xscape” because fans believe that, if Michael wasn’t happy with these songs, they shouldn’t be released now that he’s gone and doesn’t have a say in it, but “Love Never Felt So Good” sounds great.

The video is just as great because it reminds us of some of the things Michael stood for: love, joy of life, dance. Enjoy!
