Epic Records and The Estate of Michael Jackson, announced today that \u201cA Place With No Name, \u201d the next single from this year\u2019s critically acclaimed, chart-topping Michael Jackson album XSCAPE [MJJ Music\/Epic Records], will make history when it premieres on Twitter (twitter.com). At 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday August 13, 2014 the short film will be tweeted through @MichaelJackson allowing the Twitter universe to be able to view the video within a tweet. And for those fans in New York City, \u201cA Place With No Name\u201d will be shown on the massive Sony screen in Times Square at the very same moment.<\/p>\n
Throughout his entire career, Michael has always stood on the cutting edge of groundbreaking technological advancements. With \u201cA Place With No Name\u201d as the very first music video to launch through Twitter, he continues to set the pace of pop culture and music yet again. Follow @MichaelJackson to watch the historical moment from the \u201cKing of Pop\u201d unfold.<\/p>\n
Increasing anticipation, a preview of the video is set to make its network television debut on the special Michael Jackson themed episode of FOX\u2019s So You Think You Can Dance broadcast that same evening beginning at 8PM ET. The show will open with a Top Eight group performance featuring \u201cA Place With No Name\u201d choreographed by the Emmy award-winning Travis Payne, who worked as both back-up dancer and choreographer for Michael Jackson. During the program, all of the Top Eight remaining contestants will compete with new all-star partners and each performance will feature a different Michael Jackson song, including songs from XSCAPE.<\/p>\n
Michael re-envisioned America\u2019s 1972 classic \u201cA Horse With No Name\u201d to convey a narrative following a man whose car breaks down and is led by a mysterious woman to a utopian place where \u201cno one is in fear\u201d and \u201cno people have pain\u201d. It was a collaboration with Elliott Straite [Dr. Freeze] done in 1998 at Record Plant Recording Studio.<\/p>\n
The beautifully shot short film, directed by iconic award-winning director Samuel Bayer, whose credits include seminal videos from Nirvana and The Rolling Stones, has been created by following Michael\u2019s overall vision for short films which tell the song\u2019s story, in this case, of a man enticed into a magical \u201cplace\u201d by a mysterious woman. The short film also includes outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage of Michael shot during the production for \u201cIn The Closet\u201d short film, which have been kept in the vault since 1992.<\/p>\n
Upon its May release, XSCAPE reached #1 in 52 countries and went Top 5 in 87 more territories. Stateside, it debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200, simultaneously landing at #1 on Amazon and Spotify. The album\u2019s first single, \u201cLove Never Felt So Good,\u201d a duet by Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake soared to the Top in the U.S. and achieved 17 #1 and 67 Top 5 positions around the world. The single also made for Michael\u2019s highest Billboard chart debut since 1995 and fourth highest ever at #20 as his 49th smash hit. The album also generated his 50th top 10 Billboard chart with \u201cSlave To The Rhythm\u201d making Michael the first artist to ever have a Top Ten hit in each of six consecutive decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
