'New' album by Michael Jackson

Today's Morning Edition music is Michael Jackson singing "A Place With No Name," his reinterpretation of the 1972 hit song by America "A Horse With No Name."

It's on "Xscape," the second studio album to be released since Jackson's death in 2009. That album comes out today.

The songs on this record begin with demos that Jackson recorded and then discarded between 1983 and 1999. A number of different producers and musicians enhanced the demos.

The Norwegian production team Stargate, who have worked extensively with Rhianna, were responsible for producing this song.
