A new song from the King of Pop’s posthumous release (to be titled “Michael”) has just been made available to the public. It is named “Much Too Soon”, and it has had a warmer reception than the last one, “Breaking News”. It was not that “Breaking News” was panned in terms of quality – it was its veracity that was disputed. Fans, critics and Jackson’s family all argued vociferously that it wasn’t Michael singing, but an impersonator.
Luckily for Epic Records, “Much Too Soon” received no such unwanted criticisms.
The most curious aspect of this new release, though, is how the song has been made available. You see, Epic Records has chosen to feature the song on Ping and nowhere else. The new song can’t even be played on Jackson’s official site. It’s only playable on Apple’s music network. An odd move at best, when one considers that less than 60,000 people follow Jacko on Ping, as opposed to the 24,000,000 individuals who like his page on Facebook.
I can’t fathom it out no matter how much I try, but maybe the guys from Epic Records have got a card up their sleeves… We’ll see.
