Little Susie was also written in the 70s, but then remade for HIStory.

So maybe he made the song 70s and then remade it for vince or maybe even 2007-2009.

Could be fresh vocals and fresh sound.

Are you sure? Where did you get that info?

This first week sales of this album will determine where it will be in the Christmas album chart. It will be under very strong competition from the new Take That album which will be colossal.
... and very disappointing if Michaels album fails in the first week at no. 2 at charts (at least in the UK)

Take That are only significant in the UK and, to a lesser extent, in Europe.

Surely Michael must have more fans than Take that! I mean think of all the generations that listened to him! We can't let his legacy down, he deserves to be on the top spot - it was always his dream, it was always his goal, it always made him happy!

After being baffled about the report from michaelmania that Hold My Hand was down as the lead single I emailed Sony and low and behold they immediately confirmed that it IS the lead single.

Re: The Official New Album Thread -MICHAEL Release date Dec 14th

Hopefully TOMORROW when the FULL "Breaking News" track hits the internet all will be forgotten with Katherine, and the Breaking News track will go viral and become HUGE!

I hope they release it tomorrow! Hopefully after 3p.m. C.A. time, even if it's around midnight I'll wait up or wake up for it

That's poor, poor news & has popped my balloon.

Having said that, the first singles from Mike albums are rarely the best. In this case I think it needs to be though.

Just for one song?

 

[Sophielo]

Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

HMH being the lead single? Hmmm. I know the song is radio friendly and I do like it but obviously as a fan was hoping it would be something we haven't heard before.

 

[Alec]

Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

Made it up? That sounds strange! How did you find that out?

Well, they are quoting NME as the source but Mark Ronson never said that "Lovely Way" is 100% on the album. Just the same thing that's been reported elsewhere, that it MAY be.

I like that song, so for me it is fine

Re: The Official New Album Thread -MICHAEL Release date Dec 14th

Just an update on the situation;

-I've spoken with my source and he confirmed to me that the vocals are 100% authentic. This has been confirmed by people who were in the studio when MJ recorded it, 2 third party audio experts who spent hours examining the vocals, and by Teddy Riley who worked on all 5 Cascio tracks. There should be no debate on the authenticity of the vocals, they are his. End of discussion

-My source has heard the album in it's entirety and confirmed to me that it's "simply incredible", and he's not even a huge MJ fan. He went on to say that "even non fans will love the album, it's catchy and modern sounding and will top the charts all around the world. It also is a new direction from anything MJ has ever done before, the sound is so unique."

-Many of the songs on the album are new and recorded in 2007, 2008, and 2009. There will be a couple other ones from earlier but have been re-worked to fit in with the albums sound.

-MJ fans will be familiar with a couple of the tracks but the general public will still treat them like new songs. Majority is brand new stuff.

-Breaking News is being tested by Sony for fan and general feedback, if it's a huge hit then expect it to be the first single. If not, they have a 2nd track ready to go.

-Marketing for this will be huge, over the next 4-5 weeks expect to see huge promotions all over the world for this album. Sales will be monstrous for a posthumous release.

Cool......... Thanks smooth_criminal05!!!

I'll still buy it, just not that song.

Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

Hopefully, Hold My Hand is remixed, edited or remastered in a different way from Akon's version.

I just want a full track list! I wanna know how many songs there are in the album. It'll probably be 8-10 at most.

Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

Keep in mind everyone, for Thriller "The Girl Is Mine" was the leader single, and on Bad it was "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" ...Two Ballady songs..And we all know what kind of albums those two are, LEGENDARY.

Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

I hope Michael has more vocals on Hold my hand in the album.It will suck badly if they only have the vocals we've heard.I don't even think about this song as an MJ song.It is Akon featuring Michael.

 

[StephluvsMJ]

Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

Well, if HMH is the first single, I am hoping that Akon is not on it. Hopefully MJ recorded a solo version.

NO NO NO, I cant believe it....

Sony are nuts... total amateurs...

Please, send them email (if you have the contact), and let them know that this song will destroy everything... it can not be the lead single!!!!

It will be a total music disaster....

What do they think? That there is also Akon and that will attract media and people...?

Re: The Official New Album Thread -"Breaking News" Announcement Page 464

With "Hold my hand" they are probably trying to score a Christmas hit, but I'd rather have something like "Another day", even if it's not really a Christmas type of song.
