New Michael Jackson Song 'A Place With No Name' Hits The Web

Posted 8 minutes ago by MTV News in Music

Sony Music boss Tommy Mottola says that there are unreleased Michael Jackson songs that go back decades, and the first of them managed to sneak out onto the Internet. TMZ found and posted a snippet of a song called "A Place With No Name," which borrows heavily from America's 1971 hit "A Horse With No Name." Jackson shared a manger with the band in the late '80s and early '90s, though it's unclear when the song (which sounds like a fairly rough demo) was actually recorded.
For what it's worth, the vocal production and arrangement makes it sound much more like a latter-day Jackson tune than anything from earlier in his career. The combination of digi-coustic guitars and angelic backing vocals definitely give it an Invincible-esque sheen, but it remains unclear where the track came from or if there are more like it. It's certain that more of Jackson's unreleased songs will see the light of day, though considering the issues that need to be ironed out with his estate and his debt, the releases will probably be spread out over years and not simply released in a box set.
