Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake duet premiered

Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake's new collaboration track has been revealed.

The 1983 song 'Love Never Felt So Good' is due to feature on the King of Pop's upcoming posthumous record 'Xscape', with different versions reportedly set for its deluxe edition.

The tune has been reworked to include vocals from Justin Timberlake and the duet was unveiled at last night's (May 1) iHeart Radio Music Awards.

The album is due to be released across the world from May 9 and it will feature eight songs which have been "contemporised" by producers such as Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, Jerome 'Jroc' Harmon and John McClain.

Record mogul and album curator L.A. Reid previously commented: "Modern music and artistry would look and sound completely different if not for the groundbreaking contributions Michael Jackson gifted to the world.

"Michael left behind some musical performances that we take great pride in presenting through the vision of music producers that he either worked directly with or expressed strong desire to work with. We are extremely proud and honoured to present this music to the world."

The record will be the second album to be released after Jackson's 2009 death, following on from 2010's 'Michael'.
