Beat It (feat. Michael Rose)

Recorded for Easy Star All-Stars’ 2012 Michael Jackson tribute album Easy Star’s Thrillah, the track was cut across multiple sessions tied to the project’s global recording campaign. The album credits name Michael Goldwasser as producer, with recording and production work also credited to Victor Rice, Victor Axelrod, Tony Maimone, and Paul Schellack; the album’s recording locations include Big Yard Recording Studio in Kingston, Jamaica. It appeared on Easy Star All-Stars’ reggae reworking of Thriller, issued in 2012 on Easy Star Records, with Michael Rose handling the featured vocal on the album’s fifth track. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Reggae chart and was presented as a major Easy Star statement rather than a novelty release. The track has remained a durable part of Easy Star All-Stars’ tribute-album catalog, regularly cited as one of the standout pairings on Thrillah. Its continued circulation on the band’s official release pages and streaming listings has kept the Michael Rose collaboration in the group’s live and recorded identity.
