Interview with Mat Maitland, Creator of Xscape's cover artwork:

http://www.mjworld.net/news/2014/04/...work-designer/

MJWN has had the opportunity to speak with the 42 year old London designer Mat Maitland, the creator of the brand new artwork for the upcoming Michael Jackson album ‘Xscape’ and the Creative Director for Big Active Design. He tells us the background to the project, his inspirations and how it was made.

How did it come about that you worked on the ‘Xscape’ album?
Word must have got out that I was a huge MJ fan! We (Big Active, design co) were approached by Sony.

How many designs did you create for ‘Xscape’?
I created about 10 cover ideas.

How was the artwork made? Was it based on a photo?
It’s based on a photograph given to me by The Michael Jackson Estate; it’s a fairly recent image of Michael but like I say, it’s based on that image and uses parts of it.

Was there anything in the design process that you particularly wanted to achieve?
It was really important to everyone (including myself) that the cover felt like a new Michael album, something he might have done today, rather than a retrospective image that may have looked like a best of. I really wanted to capture the magic and power of MJ but also his vulnerability.

Where did you draw inspiration from for the ‘Xscape’ artwork?
I wanted to evoke a contemporary and quintessential incarnation of Michael as an artist who constantly injected new blood into his music and also to focus on both the intriguing and futuristic aspects of MJ. As well as being a tribute, I hope that it will inspire reflection on a man who continues to stimulate and offer unique creative musical possibilities to so many today. I also tried to say that Michael is all around us, in our universe and beyond, on earth and in outer space.

How long have you been an MJ fan for?
30 years.

What’s your favourite album cover from Michael’s back catalogue?
‘Dangerous’ because it was such a knowing image that acknowledged and commented on the world Michael had created for himself, good and bad. It kind of carried on the theme of the ‘Leave Me Alone’ video as that was the last track on ‘Bad’ and then this was the album after that. It has so much detail in it which was unusual in the times of simple CD covers (although the eyes held your attention). Also, I like that it was true to Michael’s vision whereas on ‘Bad’ (and ‘Invincible’) the label stopped him from using the images he wanted. Actually, coming back to the eyes, this was a big influence on the cover I created for ‘Xscape’ – the magnetic stare, always looking at us.

How does it feel that your artwork is about to be owned by millions of people around the world and will be a part of iconic pop history for years to come?
It’s been a lifelong dream to create a sleeve for Michael Jackson and I feel honoured to be asked to do it. Even if I wasn’t a fan it would have been amazing but as a huge fan it makes it even more special. I hope that the fans like the cover. I’ve heard the album and it’s really amazing!

D ANGELO IS GONNA BE ON THIS ALBUM AND JESSE JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!

This track might be a hidden track or remix. I am not sure. I am not sure if this is going to be released on this album or what but I don't think Jesse is lying.

Thumbs up MJ – My Thoughts

I guess in honor of this new album I'll tell my story about how MJ changed my musical outlook.

Well, MJ's been in my life since I was about 5 YEARS-OLD maybe when I practically went to sleep listening to him on the large CD player I had next to my bed. Oh man, the times I listened to Black or White and Billie Jean as a kid, it's in the hundreds easily.

As I got older I started to expand my musical tastes and I delved into more of MJ's songs. Naturally, the first thing I encountered was Thriller, and I discovered Beat It and the song Thriller, and the former became my go-to MJ song for quite a while. The thing I liked about Thriller (the song) was just how atmospheric it was, and how well MJ does in describing a vivid (and creepy) story with his lyrics.

Later on I started listening to Dangerous a LOT, and that has to be my favorite MJ album. Jam, Keep it in the Closet, She Drives Me Wild, Why you wanna Trip on Me, Black or White...those are all songs that are mainstays in my MJ playlists.

Fast forward to last year, I had really stopped listening to Michael Jackson because I was really focused on buying Daft Punk albums, Macklemore, etc.., but after I discovered the Weeknd's D.D., I subsequently discovered the Bad album, and found the tracks Dirty Diana, Smooth Criminal, and Bad, which I all love and enjoy listening to.

Just a few months ago, I went even further back to Off the Wall and Blood on the Dance Floor, and I had some trouble getting into those albums as easily as I did Bad, Thriller (yeah, no **** I know), and Dangerous, but Rock With You is a song that is steadily growing on me as is a few others.

That's all I have to say about my experiences with MJ. Maybe my parents will buy this new album and I can get it from them. I have to say RealTalk, looking at some of these statistics on album sales (and they are impressive), I am looking forward to this new album.
