This Is It by Michael Jackson – New Single
Sony Music’s Columbia/Epic Label Group has announced that a new single called “This Is It” hits the airwaves today, October 12, two weeks before it is available as part of a two-disc album released by the late King of Pop’s record label in an understandable cash grab, the first of an avalanche, no doubt.
The song was originally co-written with Paul Anka and was included as the song “I Never Heard” on the 1991 album I Wasn’t Born Yesterday by Sa-Fire. This version has partially different lyrics.
Co-producer of the album, John McClain comments: “This song only defines, once again, what the world already knows – that Michael is one of God’s greatest gifts”.
The song features backing vocals from Michael’s brothers, The Jacksons, though it is unclear whether these vocals were recorded at the same time as the rest of the song, or if they were added after Michael’s death.

3am by Eminem – new single from Relapse
3am deals with darker themes, pitting Eminem as a serial killer as he questions his own sanity and recalls various homicidal incidents. The song, according to Eminem, is said to be closer to the overall sound of the album, as opposed to the poppy, fun-poking “We Made You”.
If Em’s claim that “3AM” mirrors the overall tone of Relapse is true, we’ll need a night light to make it through this album when it hits stores May 19th.
Eminem quotes a famous line from the movie, The Silence of the Lambs, – “She puts the lotion in the bucket, she puts the lotion on the skin, or she gets the hose again”.
References to Hannah Montana and Kim Kardashian are also made.
The video will premiere on Cinemax, May 2 right before the movie The Strangers. A trailer for the video was released on April 30 at 3 a.m. EST, via Eminem’s Twitter.
