Afrojack: "Michael Jackson’s 'Xscape' Is A Damn Good Album!"

The dance giant talks Martin Garrix, Snoop, Sting and his "no-tricks-no-bulls**t" album…

Dutch dance decimator Afrojack has told MTV News UK how Michael Jackson’s recent posthumous release is a “damn good album” despite having it released nearly five years since his death.

In an exclusive interview with the Ten Feet Tall producer, who in 2012 remixed the title track of the King Of Pop’s Bad as part of the LP’s 25th anniversary, told us his thoughts on whether albums should continue to be released after an artist’s passing…

“First off I don’t think that the release necessarily conflicts with being able to rest in peace. It’s a two-way story, just depending on how you tell it. On the one hand, you could say that an artist can start resting in peace, when his work is done.

“On the other hand, you could say that his legacy shouldn’t be shaped without his own accord. I’ve heard the tracks and, as a Michael Jackson fan, I must admit it’s a damn good album!”
