14 DAY TRIAL // Quincy Jones is largely responsible for three of Micheal Jackson's most successful albums and also some of the best pop albums in the history of music, “Off the Wall” from 1977, “Thriller” from 1982 and “Bad” from 1987.
Speaking to Canadian radio station CBC, Jones dished out some not so flattering reviews of the last posthumous album put out by the Michael Jackson estate “Xscape.” “They're trying to make money. And I understand it,” the producer said.
“Everybody's after money, the estate, the lawyers. It's about money,” Jones went on, explaining that he was a bit bothered that the album is made up of reworked songs from Michael's past, “Yeah, but it's not my business anymore. They're not our business.”
And Jones might know a thing or two about music since he has amassed no fewer than 27 Grammys in his career, not to mention the fact that he's worked with some of the biggest names in contemporary music, such as Frank Sinatra, Donna Summer, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles.
Despite mixed reviews, Michael Jackson's second posthumous album, “Xscape” is faring quite well in charts, also aided by an epic performance Michael Jackson gave as a hologram at this year's Billboard Music Awards.
