Re: Slave To The Rythym, needs to be released SOON!

Do you guys think Sony would even know about this song? Is it possible they don't even have it in their possesion? I mean its crazy why they didn't put it on the album, but perhaps they didn't even know about it?

edit: just a thought, anyone have teddy rileys twitter, maybe someone can ask him about the song?

Send the song to SONY - make them release it.

True, but then it might end up like Hold My Hand. "Leaked years ago" single is not what we want again.

But seriously, if this was on Michael and as first single, the whole situation would be different. It's out of this world.
i agree :yes: its a proper MJ song :yes::punk:
Well, it wouldn't be a leaked song but a number one hit single officially released.

Many artists release standalone singles that end up on albums later on (sometimes years later).

The track is leaked, make the most of it and put it out.
yes this would hit number one :yes:
thank you :yes: someone said that it was not on youtube but its good that it is for everybody to hear :yes:
 
The entire song is amazing, especially the ending with the adlibs. With a little production, this song could easily be a #1 dance hit all over the world.

Wow - awesome version!! They should have just cleaned up the production a bit and put this on "Michael"!

Here's his list:

He had all of these songs?! Did he tell you anything about them?
 
Club banger full of soul and wisdom, which is too rare. Sounds very mixed and overproduced, though, (maybe this DJ Stolen added his flavor, that's what happened with album 'Michael', afterall), but the wit in the lyrics is magic, they're carefully used so as to both make sense and sound right. When he repeats 'A slave to the rhythm of (the rhythm of love) (the rhythm of love)' in the chorus, the ear gets affected and hurts at hearing those voice vibrations. It's teasing the ear and heart a lot, combined with the background sounds rolling in billows like bowels churning. The manipulative atmosphere the song creates fits the dangerous, risky and empty life of the woman, a puppet used for sex and fun only. Michael's sincere emphasis on the dramatic story from this song, coupled with his empathetic tonality, the richness of the voice filling its depth.. Pure brilliance.

Money is louder than reason, for I can't see why these great pieces aren't released on an album, not to mention why they weren't included on 'Michael' instead those more than questionable 3's, who caused such an uproar.

*smh*
Enjoyed reading your take, esp. the part in bold.

The music is just ok, the lyrics is brilliant. The lyrics deserves the Lyrics of The Year award, if there was one. He was a true poet. I love literature and the lyrics of this song reminds me of other great poets like Tupac Shakur or William Blake. All 3 of them had a lot of love for the underprivileged and showed the struggles realistically and poignantly.

Don't you think it's a genius use of irony to use the dancing metaphor to describe this woman's ordeal? I feel she doesn't even know or simply tries to ignore the fact that she's being abused. Hence, she just dances constantly as "a slave to the rhythm (of her hard-knock life)." Or she endures it all by imagining herself dancing cuz she got kids and she gotta do what she gotta do as their mother. Any way you slice it, it's a tragic story.

yes,i do like that:yes:
 
I LOVE 'Slave to the Rhythm'. I wish we could hear a hq of the full song w/ all the lyrics (regarding to the fan made version) and w/o DJ Stolen very soon. I just love it :heart:
 
I just hope SONY / Estate are saving the best till last...Slave to the Rhythm, Blue Gansta, DYKWTCA and Place with no Name all on one album will be just pure magic.

Blue gangsta is ok, but for DYKWYCA and STTR the production needs some work, how i hear them in my head, they are f*cking amazing sons. DYWYCA needs some of it's pads turning up a little, and a bit of simple bass added in the bridge and guitar solo, just very simple, to add the lower frequence and make it more classic MJ, even in dangerous the bass hardly does anything, but adds so much to the song, it's that kinda thing. And STTR just needs a full on modern dance production, his vocals are off the chain on this one :D
 
Did you ever think Michael could have meant La Toya in this song? After all, she experience such a slavery in her "marriage"...
