‘The Girl Is Mine’ will be released as the first single from the upcoming album ‘Thriller 25th Anniversary Edition’. The digital single will be released on January 14, 2008 (UK). Additionally it will be released as a three track CD version on January 28, 2008.

The song, originally a duet of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, has been remixed by Michael Jackson and Will.I.Am.

According to MJWN, who have been able to listen to the song already, it has a heavy beat and Paul McCartney’s vocals from the original have been removed. New vocals from Michael also appear at the end of the song which is just over 3 minutes in length.

MJWN’s review:

“It’s absolutely FANTASTIC and could easily be a number one single. Probably the best re-mix to be given to a Michael song.”
