all the songs are copyright from the Michael Jackson Estate, so they do exist.
ps: go check out my post "what the next years should look like (idea)" i put down some ideas i would love to see happen in the next few years (very well thought out and researched) i would love to hear some of y'alls ideas too!
All of the songs i listed were either recorded in 08/09 or reworked in 08/09, i know some of the songs date back, but they were, to my knowledge, reworked or recorded in 08/09.
Songs like Shut Up and Dance and I Am a Loser actually date back to 1999 during the early Invincible sessions, although Michael was revisiting SUAD around 2008 for his album. I Was the Loser dates to late 2008, while all three MJ/BB orchestral ideas are from circa 2007, if I recall correctly. Not sure about everything else though.
We don't know for sure, though, just how much of this material is complete enough to release. Joe Vogel did speak one-on-one with a number of Michael's collaborators (like Brad Buxer and Bill Bottrell) and is perhaps the best source if we wanted to know how much material from post-2001 is available. He spoke of several nearly-finished songs being recorded at the Bel-Air Hotel in late 2008, along with multiple new songs with Brad Buxer so he has a knowledge that very little others have.
To my surprise I found that there is a 30 second leak of 'Days in Gloucestershire' online but i'm sure most of you already knew that. I found a few other leaks like 'Roll the Dice' and 'Red Eye' aswell. Would anyone be kind enough to list anymore of the leaks known to exist? I already know all the full song leaks like hot street, xscape, nite line, etc but i'm more interested in the 30 second leaks there are out there.
A 30-second leak of DIG? I don't think so; I hadn't heard anything about that. The longest snippet publicly available is five seconds that was recorded on an iPod. The 'leak' was probably just an instrumental some stupid fan is playing off as the actual song.
There aren't many lengthy leaks out there since Michael died. So far we have,
A Place with No Name (25 seconds)
Another Day - Original Mix (1 minute 29 seconds)
Do You Know Where Your Children Are (full)
I Am a Loser (three snippets between three and six seconds)
Can't Get Your Weight Off of Me (7 seconds)
Days in Gloucestershire (two snippets, five and three seconds)
Hollywood Tonight - Original Demo (multiple snippets ranging from five to twelve seconds)
People of the World - Original Demo (multiple snippets ranging from three to ten seconds)
Slave to the Rhythm (full)
Blue Gangsta (full)
This is just off the top of my head, of course.
