Off The Wall E009…The Announcement. RIP MJ 1958-2009

This is one of the hardest things that I’ve ever had to do in my career. I was scheduled to announce this project on Wednesday of this week, but in light of Michael’s passing on Thursday Woody & I feel like the world needs to know what we’ve been working on for the last few months and why this has been so hard for me to deal with. I’ve been recording my own version of MJ’s Off The Wall album for the last few months now in honor of it’s 30th Anniversary which is on August 10th, and will release it 30 years to the day his original album came out.
We actually completed the project before his passing, and will not change the date to even 1 day earlier given the signifigance of August 10th as the 30th Anniversary of the release of the original Off The Wall album in 1979.
The First Single off the Project is “Dont Stop” which samples “Dont Stop Til You Get Enough” which is actually the first song on the album. Here’s the link:

Please see the video as we have included snippets of a few of the songs also and if you have any questions please feel free to let me know.
I also made a statement regarding Mike’s passing on Thursday if you’d like to refer back to that here’s the link: http://theessoexperience.com/2009/06/25/rest-in-peace-michael-jackson-long-live-the-king-of-pop/
