A snippet of a new Michael Jackson song called “A Place with No Name” has just been released. You can listen to it below:

 

Sound familiar? Michael borrowed from the 1971 song “A Horse with No Name” to create the song. According to TMZ.com, the band America, who originally recorded the song, was approached by Michael Jackson’s people several years ago and was honored to have him use it. If you need a refresher, this is the 1971 hit Michael was inspired from:

 

There’s less than 30 seconds available for Michael Jackson’s new song, but I really like it! I’m glad that he was able to finish the song before his death. I hate it when an artist dies and producers play around with unfinished material, creating a set of awful songs, like they did with 2pac. What do you think of Michael Jackson’s new song “A Place with No Name”?

It seemed ok. I'd have to wait to hear all of it before deciding.

Awesome song. Can I buy this in a store yet? or is it not released on any CD? I guess not huh?

The snippet above is the only part of the song available right now. I can't wait to hear the whole thing!

Even in his death he will be a hit. Yep! this song will go to # 1 on the Billboards.

No disrespect for a great artist, however from the brief piece of the song here, I would have to say I prefer the oringinal. But with many adoring fans, it most likely be a big hit on the charts.

Sounds great...I love his voice.
He's supposed to have at least a HUNDRED unreleased songs!!!
(Thank goodness for small favors from the universe...!!)

I like it. But even if it sucked I think at this point any new Michael Material will be a hit.
