The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

[SmoothGangsta]

I'm assuming the sighs all over it have been added as they weren't in the first snippet lol

 

[ChanceToDance]

So it's set, this will be the new song that we'll be drip fed with snippets for the next 10 years lol.

Damien wasn't kidding though, that choir does sound pretty good. I would love to have this song be released on a HIStory re-issue.

 

[Fuzball]

Was changes done with John Barnes in the 80s?

 

[Andymachine]

What happened to the 4k 16:9 of Moonwalker on YT?

wtf u talking about lol .

 

[Andymachine]

Rodney Jerkins has all of Michael jackson stuff on his laptop and old hard drives

I doubt that massively . We would have heard a lot more if it even exists.

 

[Andymachine]

I think it's fair to say that between Bad and Dangerous, Bad has so many great outtakes, but Dangerous outtakes were so good that MJ just had to use them.

But it's really up in the air. Especially when you have to decide if songs like Earth Song is a bad outtake or a Dangerous outtakes? (it's basically Bad)

It certainly is BAD , i think he was doing that part we all have heard in Austria in 1988. Reworked in 91 with probably the same BAD vocals but the lighter parts on "what about us " .

 

[SmoothGangsta]

Sounds like a groovy demo indeed.

 

[SMJJ777]

That choir on Changes is crazy, wow.... amazing

 

[Fuzball]

Changes would have been a killer track on History. It could should have been released instead of CT or DS or TTA or even YANA.

 

[SmoothCriminal1995]

Wow Changes sounds so soulful.

There's something special about Michael being backed by a choir. It's always magic

Just Come Together, thanks. Give me one extra new song instead of taking away one of the others...

The choir of Changes reminds me of the full length stuff from TDCAU. Sensibly, they were the same choir.

There surely must exist video footage of recording Changes

“You know, sometimes I just reminisce, I don’t know man” Rodney Jerkins talking at the beginning of the writer’s demo of you don’t love me for Michael jackson

 

[michaeljackson.nl]

Ohh it sounds so good. Love it already, really hope it will be released someday.

 

[wonderouzmj]

I wish it had real full vocals. I wonder why he didn't finish this 1. It would've definitely been a banger

 

[JustinC2002]

50 seconds of Changes is better than the whole GYWOOM song

 

[Hot_Street]

[FlyAway0086]

Def feeling this one more than GYWOOM.

 

[DanGerouS-]

Changes.... well, it's okayish. dont impress me much.
GYWOOM way better.

 

[Hollywood_Tonight]

I agree, it definitely should’ve been on HIStory. An uptempo gospel inspired track suits that album perfectly.

Yeah, it definitely fits alongside something like Stranger In Moscow

Could have been HIStory’s Man in the mirror

I agree

It's too little for 'Musical Parallels' but it even reminds me a bit of 'Cheater'; some of the ad-libs and the piano

Indeed the song gives these "Cheater" vibes. I'm glad i'm not the only one thinking that.

 

[AlwaysThere]

Solid! Not extraordinary but I like what I’m hearing.
