Jackson single makes debut

THE first new Michael Jackson song to air after his death has been unveiled to the world.

The track, This Is It, the same name as Jackson’s planned 50-date comeback concerts, received its first air play nearly four months after the singer’s death.

The soulful ballad, punctuated by clicking fingers, has the feel of a typical song from the King of Pop, and features Jackson singing softly: “I never thought that I would be your lover... This Is It”.
