Sprawling, fun, retro, and accented with the feel of a classic album cherry-picked from the Off The Wall sessions, Xscape raises the bar for all posthumous records from here forward, but when speaking with REVOLT on the day of the project’s release, Tim admitted that he didn’t anticipate the challenges he’d face in working on the King Of Pop’s new record.
“I didn’t know how much, emotionally, it would take a toll on me, dealing with somebody that you looked up to,” Tim revealed, looking more than relieved to watch the project finally find its way to the world.

As far as his approach to overseeing the project and pulling together a superstar team of producers to create a cohesive offering, Tim explained: “We just did whatever Michael would want us to do. We let [the music] talk to us, instead of us talking to it. We let Michael talk to us.” Spiritual advisor in tow, all involved went on to create a tribute album that sounds as timely as it does timeless.
