THE ESTATE OF MICHAEL JACKSON ENTERS PARTNERSHIP WITH SONY MOBILE

Sony today announced a partnership with the Michael Jackson estate, which will see the music of Jackson being used as part of the promotional material for the Xperia Z2.

Jackson was hailed as one of the best artists in the world as part of Sony's presentation at Mobile World Congress, and as Sony is heralding the Xperia Z2 as one of the best devices for the aural experience, it makes sense for the company to partner with such a prestigious artist.

The music of Michael Jackson will be used in advertising, as can be seen from the 90-second short video that the company showed at its presentation and will release publicly shortly. More will be announced in the coming weeks as to how the partnership impacts customers who purchase an Xperia Z2.

Sony was keeping its cards relatively close to its chest at Mobile World Congress, but is very excited by this partnership.

Full announcement below

"The Estate of Michael Jackson and Epic Records are very excited about the partnership with Sony Mobile announced this morning at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We are thrilled with the use of the new solo Michael Jackson recording, “Slave To The Rhythm,” which is featured in the 90 second online spot for the new Xperia Z2 phone. For those of you not lucky enough to be in the room for the premiere of the spot, look for it online!"

:-/ So will it be the first single? I mean they wouldn't just use the song for advertising and not release it as a single?
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

"Slave To The Rhythm" will be a single or what ?

Where We can find this spot ?
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

I love that song but was hoping it would be a new unreleased non leaked song
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

WTF happened to the song?
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

Does the whole music belong to the song STTR? - if yes, NEW MIX, sounds kinda like "Timbaland slow down mix" IMO
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

Sounds sort of like a Timbaland produced STTR?
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

Sounds great. Hope we will get the album with this song very soon.
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

Sounds a hell of a lot better than the terrible Tricky version.
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

So it's about an advertisement? Kind of anti-climax.
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

IMO it does. There also COULD be some Timbaland adlibs, but you can not hear it clearly.

Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

So they created the hype with the first single now. Album news plz?
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

Do we think this is the only announcement today? The guy who has inside sources in earlier years on the thread says their is an announcement at 9:45pm
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

I do not like that remix! :( to much "computer" noise etc....
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

Timbalandddd!!!
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

Sounds like Timbalands has produced it. Anyway I do love the sound of it :)
 
Re: [MJ Estate] Monday an announcement coming your way

If this is the new mix, we should only judge the entire song with complete vocals!
From the snippet it doesn't (necessarly) sound better, but more professional than the Tricky mix for sure.
