The posthumous album of late pop star Michael Jackson is set to be released on May 13 under Sony’s Epic label. The countdown for “Xscape” began Monday with the debut of “Chicago,” a song Jackson recorded at New York’s Hit Factory in 1999 but didn’t make the cut for his 2001 album. In the album liner notes, Epic said Jackson “had a habit of over-recording for albums,” leaving outstanding songs on the cutting room floor. Fans can hear previews of five new songs this week on Sony’s Music Unlimited streaming service. Jackson died in 2009 while preparing for his comeback tour. Sony was granted access to Jackson’s archive of recordings for release. The new album will include tracks from 1983 to 1999.
