Michael Jackson has shaped a new sound for "Invincible". The record features a selection of fast tracks that will set new standards in musical production. The album is packed with strong beats, creative tempos and killer grooves. Throughout the record, the flavor is definitely R'n'B, but Michael’s own style blends with it in a unique combination. Once again, Michael Jackson has reinvented himself and comes back with an innovative new sound.
The album is expected to hit the dancefloors like a tornado. One of the most surprising dance tracks is “2000 Watts,” an electric club song that comes in like a whirlwind. But "Invincible" also contains the classic Michael Jackson hit tracks, the signature songs that made him the King of Pop. Jackson’s favorite song on the album is the uptempo destroyer track “Unbreakable.” Another huge piece of music is the incredible “Rock My World,” one of the album best tracks and one of Michael Jackson’s surest hits ever. From the fascinating a cappella intro of “Speechless” to the poignant rendition of the heartfelt anthem “The Lost Children,” Michael Jackson’s voice reaches new heights in the mastery of vocal performance. "Invincible" contains seven amazing ballads. One of the strongest and most passionate is “Cry,” a beautiful song co-produced by R. Kelly. R. Kelly is one of the producers who made the final cut onto the album. As is Teddy Riley. Rodney Jerkins also co-produced several tracks on "Invincible". Another collaboration on "Invincible" is a posthumous rap cameo by Notorious B.I.G.
The global outline of "Invincible" is an extraordinary collection of great music that will strike audience with amazement.
