The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

What's the earliest we have of angry voice? 1984? I feel like 1985 is when it really got angry.

It started with Thriller imo.

 

[SmoothGangsta]

Love angry voice™

 

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

The Wikipedia page for unreleased songs says "Ghost of Another Lover" is fully complete and ready for release lolol

wondering why he got so angry between Thriller and Bad.

he sounds still quite chilled on Thriller.

Pepsi accident and/or side effects of its medication??

Change in belief system. Breaks with family completely. Life struggles. Anger and resentment.

I love how "angry voice" started out as a meme but now it's an actual discussion point lol

 

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

Did MJ have a recording studio in his last years of life, nearby, in his home or another frequent place perhaps?

And did the first iPhone have a recorder app? I'll just Google that one.

Edit: No it did not.

Random question, but if Michael were still alive, do you think he would have put his short films in the highest quality possible for sale or YouTube?

There was no professional recording studio at the Carolwood residence, but I’m pretty sure some small things were recorded there, using a portable studio. E.g. Water was recorded there, I believe.

Another song I'm curious to hear is "Where Is Love" from 1982

Another song I'm curious to hear is "Where Is Love" from 1982

what kind of song is that?

 

[Sisoqqq]

I wish Michael changed the tiny video he made about smooth criminal in this is it to Al Capone.

This title doesn't speak to me. I couldn't find it in the US Copyright register. Where do you know this title from?

Are you guys really Michael fans? LOL. Anyway, "Where Is Love" is a cover from the movie "Oliver" and he mentions recording it during this 1982 interview

Yep, sadly so

Just found that out via Discord. Kinda embarrassed to admit it, but I thought it was a fake title at first.

 

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

I don't think "Where Is Love" is something that's high on MJ fans priority list.

 

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

Unless someone knows something we don't....

 

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

Is it true beats made for MJ ended up going to Sisqo?

Can you specify which magazine this article comes from? Do you think he recorded this as an adult?

Some of Sisqo's songs were written/produced with Michael in mind

Montell Jordan: We wrote that song [Incomplete] for Michael Jackson! With Sisqo, we wrote that song, I had Michael Jackson in mind. It’s about a guy who literally had everything but without the girl that his life would be incomplete. The song sat around probably for a year, maybe a year and a half before anybody even came to record the song. It was very cool that at the time, Dru Hill’s lead vocalist Sisqo was going solo and we got an opportunity to record the song on him. Originally, the best thing that I remember about that song was that it was recorded for Michael Jackson. I think I even demoed the song, nobody will ever hear it, but I actually sang the song like Michael Jackson would sing it. There’s probably a version of that somewhere in Shep’s archives.

The producers initially crafted “Thong Song” with Michael Jackson in mind, but once Sisqó heard the opening strings he wanted it all to himself. He then hired acclaimed violinist Bruce Dukov (who notably worked on Star Wars) to rewrite the strings.

Produced by Teddy Riley more than likely with Michael in mind

Smash Hits Magazine. He did the interview in 1982 while working on Thriller so my guess is no earlier than 1981 but since the articles says he's currently watching it, I don't see why he'd mention it if it wasn't recorded recently

What other films do you like?
I like the old MGM musical. I like thing with great acting, like Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracey. I love Oliver! One of my friends lives there (England) - Mark Lester. He’s a friend of mine. Oliver! is one of my favourite films of all time. When he’s here, I visit him and we talk on the phone.

Why do you like that film in particular so much?
Ooooooh! It’s terrific! It’s Dickens’ story. I mean… it’s… it’s incredible. Lionel Bart’s music is unreal… it’s magic. I’m going to record that song in the future, one if the songs…

Which one?
“Where is love?”

Another hit that got away is Rufus and Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody". Quincy wanted it for Thriller but Hawk already promised it to Chaka but when Hawk asked it be a single, Chaka said it might not be and Hawk threatened to give it to Quincy for Michael

Spice of Life was written for Thriller according to Derek Bramble. Derek said he and Rod wrote it for Michael and said it was the last song submitted and the first song rejected but he did say they started recording it so a partial demo more than likely exists

Where is love could be awesome if it was recorded. I love Michael doing (this kind) of ballads to show of his voice.

Robinson and Kelly also mention that they originally created the beat for Michael Jackson, and when MJ later heard Sisqó’s hit, he wanted to work with the two producers.

Majority of Sisqó’s “Thong Song” Publishing Owned by Writer of "Livin’ La Vida Loca"

Most of Sisqó's 2000 hit "Thong Song" is owned by "Livin' La Vida Loca" writer Desmond Child because of his insistence on using a lyric from the song.
