The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

[kreen]

Better than Teddy’s version

How can we tell from 5 seconds?

What brings Riley's version down is that he deleted a line -- when there were already not a lot of vocals on the demo -- but especially he messed up the bridge. Not only did he not use MJ's chords, melody and lyrics (which were not sung but were written down on a note they found when he died), but he put in a rap whose lyrics contradict the theme of the song -- which is that the girl hopes to make it but probably doesn't, since "she's giving hot tricks to men just to get in", which doesn't imply she's being cast as the lead for the latest Marvel movie.

So the new "Water" snippet from the podcast had already come out last year on Youtube?

Yeah, but Damien clearly had the source file, whereas this is a seminar recording.

Neff-U apparently went for a more 70's-style sound.

Honestly I'd just loop that Water part for 3 minutes and release it to radio. It's hit material as it is to me. I'd take my chances.

Yeah form the copyright office and form Michael Producer but he Don't want to leak it

Another HT snippet!!

There's this amazing sound effect in Water, like the Bassline sounds like Caribbean Steel Drums but if it was played by a Guitar. It's so cool sounding. Genuinely why didn't they use these sound effects to touch up and modernize the songs in Xscape and Michael? Like that's literally what Michael's modern sound was gonna be, use that EVERYWHERE.

The new A Place With No Name kind of has the vibe. Closest one for sure.

I’m fairly certain this is the version with DW guitar, I don’t recall hearing any horns tho. It has been more than a year, so I could be forgetting details.

Same snippet in hq. Cool. I wonder if this is all he recorded.....(which i kinda doubt because why would he waste studio time to only record those lines)
