Premiering at midnight on his official website, Michael Jackson's first posthumous release This Is It has finally surfaced after much ink on the matter. The track features backing vocals by his brothers and will be featured on the two-disc set This Is It from Epic, slated for an October 26, 2009 release. The song will be featured during the ending credits of the film of the same name, based on footage from Jackson's 02 Arena rehearsals. This Is It hits theatres October 27, 2009.To be honest, the song isn't much. It's a mid-tempo number which doesn't sound quite complete or anywhere near as polished as the work that we have become accustomed to in Jackson's back catalogue. It certainly isn't a grand finale fit for The King of Pop. Perhaps stronger tracks will be surfacing shortly as there are rumours of albums' worth of material from Jackson who was plotting a major comeback prior to his untimely death.
