The video for the late Michael Jackson's single "A Place With No Name" made its world debut Wednesday night.
But rather than debuting on television, the video was sent out via a tweet from Jackson's official Twitter account.
The video was directed by Samuel Bayer who previously worked on Robbie Williams' video for "Angels" as well as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", according to the Telegraph.
The four-minute, thirteen-second video begins with images of a beach and the sound of the waves rolling in. From there, Jackson is briefly shown before a female dancer appears by herself in a desert-like setting. The song kicks in with a male driving a Jeep towards the female dancer. Jackson can then be seen in short clips dancing while the storyline revolves around the female dancer and male driver.
The male and female characters continue dancing and driving to a beach to frolic in the water. Just over halfway through the video it moves from black and white into color as Jackson looks off into the distance. The latter half primarily consists of footage with Jackson dancing.
The footage of Jackson was culled from outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage the late singer shot for the 1992 mini-film entitled "In The Closet." Jackson's official site reported the video was also shown in its entirety in New York City's Times Square last night as the tweet was sent out.
That same tweet had approximately 90,000 retweets as well as favorites as of Thursday afternoon EST.
Earlier in the year another Jackson video for the song "Love Never Felt So Good" appeared. That video also made its way to YouTube Thursday.
Jackson died in 2009 while rehearsing for a lengthy run of sold-out shows at London's O2 Arena. He was 50 years old.
