All the Right Moves – OneRepublic

This Is It, the aptly named latest single of the late Michael Jackson, will be released on October 12.

The single’s title could be taken to denote Jackson’s reaching the pinnacle of his life and career.

No details are available on the Sony Music Entertainment release apart from a backing accompaniment by Jackson’s brothers.

Sony will follow up on This Is It two weeks later with a two-disc set timed to go with the movie of the same name, which will come from rehearsal footage captured in the last weeks of Jackson’s life. The king of pop was in rehearsals for a gruelling 50-date UK tour that he said was to be both his comeback and his finale.

The CD cover for This Is It featured on websites shows a dazzling multi-coloured Jacko silhouette with arms outstretched.

BAND ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN TOUR DATES

Hailed by Spin as “one of the catchiest songs of Alice In Chains’ history,” lead single “Check My Brain” has blanketed rock and alternative radio and rocketed straight to No. 1 on Billboard’s Rock Songs Chart and No. 1 on the R&R Rock Chart.
