‘Slave to the Rhythym’, a Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber collaboration?

It’s a bizarre collaboration, however which way you look at it. Only last Friday, August 16, a Michael Jackson track sung by Justin Bieber surfaced over the net. There is no official word from JB regarding the song’s origins, but he tweets mysteriously: “Excited for what is to come. MJ set the bar. Not only for music but for being an entertainer and how u treat the fans. Wish he was here….”

The word is that this is a single that Michael Jalcson recorded but never finished back in 2009. It’s titled, ‘Slave to the Rhythm’, a fast paced song that speaks of a mysterious, unnamed girl and her dangerous obsession. The song has now been updated to feature the vocals of Justin Bieber.

Skeptics and anti-Beliebers who hear the track might actually be in for a surprise; the song is unbelievably good. The beat is addictive, the verses flow perfectly and the chorus is engaging. Beiber, a self-confessed fan of the late King of Pop has been said to offer this track as a tribute of sorts and Michael Jackson fans just might agree: as you listen to the music, it will be hard to figure whose vocals belong to whom. One thing is certain however, nobody can pull off the high-pitched signature ‘hee-hee’ like the one and only Michael Jackson can.
