Michael Jackson may have left this world a seven years ago, but being the musical genius he was, he’s still making tunes! In fact, Michael’s posthumous album, “Xscape” could easily be regarded as one of his best. It’s not “Thriller,” but it’s solid!

One of the singles from the album, “A Place With No Name” samples America’s “A Horse With No Name” and offers up a folksy, funky sound that we love most about his music. This marks the first time an artist’s video was exclusively debuted on Twitter. “A Place With No Name” was also shown on the Sony video screen in Times Square on August 13th at 10 p.m. It’s being reported that “A Place With No Name” was recorded in 1998, but that’s a true testament to who MJ is as an artist, timeless.

However, hunty, that Samuel Bayer-directed video…? We’re like, what?! There’s a bunch of images of dancers jamming to a seductive jig, various b-roll images of Michael dancing around and a few images of him on set of the deserted video (similar to America’s video for “A Horse With No Name”), standing and looking at the beach. According to Rolling Stone, some of the archival Jackson footage comes from the “In the Closet” VHS Single, which featured a behind-the-scenes look at that music video.
