The next Michael Jackson album (hopefully 2013)

The next Michael Jackson album (your wants and hopes)

I thought I would start this thread to discuss the next Michael Jackson album project which is being rumoured to come out in 2013. What songs would YOU like to see on the album? Album title and artwork? etc.. Also is there anybody at all with inside information on the album? perhaps mkgenie? Would appreciated anything any insiders can share.

Personally I feel the estate should and need to go all out with this project, if they are to regain the faith of MJ fans after the MICHAEL album disaster. This album should be everything the MICHAEL album should of been. It should be promoted and advertised as MJs last recordings using only songs recorded between 2001 to 2009. (as his last album was released on 2001).

Now this is going to sound over the top for a lot of people but I think the album should contain SEVENTEEN tracks. Yes you read correctly. As time went on MJ always released more songs on his albums (Invincible had 16, History had 15, Dangerous had 14, Bad had 11, Thriller had 9) and I believe if MJ were alive he would have stuck to the same routine. This is absolutely achievable as it is only one more song then what was on Invincible and most of the songs on that album are a good four-five minutes or so in length. It was recently revealed in the AEG trial that MJ recorded over 100 songs between 2001-2008 that are ready to be released so they certainly would not have trouble finding enough tracks.

In order for the songs to be on the album, they should be atleast 80% completed by MJ. Any songs not 100% completed should be finished off by the appropriate producers. Escape is definitely a song that should be on the album. Others songs that should be considered for the album are: Days in Gloucestershire, People Of The World, You Are So Beautiful, From The Bottom Of My Heart/I Have This Dream, Innocent Man and the Will.I.Am and RedOne tracks. As stated though these should only be considered if they are atleast 80% complete. When MJ passed there were sheets of unreleased songs he had written down found in his home, he was obviously working on them and intended for them to be released. You can view them here: http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/06/14/...side-death-house-drugs-propofol-0319-480w.jpg and http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/7499/vlcsnap2011111200h38m40.png If any of these songs are more then 80% completed they should definitely be included as there is a good chance if MJ had of lived they would of ended up on his next album.

The album cover should contain an image of MJ in his last few years (within the 01-09 period) and the album booklet should contain images of MJs last photo shoots he did in 2007.

As for the album title, I believe MJ would have chosen one of the track names as the title as he usually would of done. It would most probably have been a one word title. (However I do like the title 'For The World' if this song is atleast 80% completed).

Promotion should be HIGH for this album. It should be the last BIG project to be released and should be the last album of its kind to feature recordings only from MJs last years. After this future albums should contain a mix of songs from different eras (similar to MICHAEL) and only have the standard 10 songs.

These are my thoughts on what I desperately want for the new album, and what I feel the estate need to do if they are to regain the faith and respect of fans. They need to go all out for this!

Let me know your thoughts and what your hopes for the new album are

Let me know your thoughts and what your hopes for the new album are

you have some great ideas, i agree with you, i dont think the 'Michael' Album will ever leave people's mind. for the estate to move on from that somewhat travesty, i believe it would be successful and suitable for them to release an album with song's recorded from 2002-2009. their are many potential tracks that could make the cut for the final tracklisting. the song's i think should appear, should be as follows:

1. For The World
2. Days In Gloucesteshire
3. What Makes You Think
4. The Dark Lady
5. Casino Night
6. Miss You
7. You Are So Beautiful
9. From The Bottom Of My Heart
10. Lady Of Summer
11. Silent Spring
12. Light This Way
13. If You Don't Get It
14. Adore You
15. Exotic Dancer
16. Be Me For A Day
17. Dirty Deal

I would Love if this was the kind of style the new cd will be. keeping hopes up

apparent lyrics for 'Be Me For A Day':

''So you wanna see in my life
So watch but be careful
I don't give no doubts
But that it's painful

Be me 4 a day
So you can understand my pain
What's it all about
And I'm not proud

But that's how I've survived
Living in the shadows
Walking only in night-time
At outside

Be me 4 a day
So you can see I'm not doing well
Sick and tired of this all
But I'm not gonna begg

Be me 4...
Look how I live day by day
Be me 4...
This is how I've became of who I am
Be me 4 a day
So you can see by yourself
I'm not insane
The press is, not me my friend''

i was gonna include ''i can see a brighter day'' as the final track for my desired list of song's for the new album.. but it didn't exist anywhere other than one place!

 

[HIStory]

I don't think it makes sense to post song titles when we don't know how finished and how good certain songs are. We may wish for certain songs just because their titles seem interesting to us, but maybe some others with less interesting titles are actually better songs. So I say release the best songs they find and also consider current chart trends - ie. I think Off The Wall era material could do pretty well now. Though I heard they don't have much of that.

 

[HIStoric]

Re: The next Michael Jackson album (your wants and hopes)

Promotion should be HIGH for this album.

This is essential. It's already a challenge because Michael isn't here to promote the album, there Sony really need to step up their game. An album full of unreleased material from Michael effing Jackson ? If Sony make it clear a whole album of unreleased quality material from Michael Jackson is coming out, it will be a hit.

The problem with Michael was that neither the front nor back of the CD explained that it was composed of (mostly) unreleased songs. Sure, some copies had a sticker on it that explained that but heaps (like mine) didn't. If they emphasise an album full of unreleased material, and extensively promote it, they will reap the rewards.

 

[Zakk]

release 2 song's from each year, 2002-2009, with the best picks of each song's. and the most completed, but if the song's i wrote are at least 70% complete. i would go for that tracklist any day of the week.

 

[jtabbott8]

Although we obviously don't know what the tracks sound like, the tracks i posted were all worked on during 2006-2009, with most of them being worked on in 08/09, and they are copyright of the Michael Jackson Estate, so i figure they would have to be complete enough to release if the Estate has a copyright on them.

im glad to hear that, but 3 discs at once is too many, just release one cd with song's from 2006-2009 this time around and release another new album in 2017! possibly a double disc cd, with song's mostly recorded from 2008-2009.

 

[AlwaysThere]

You have a lot of great ideas rsggamer123 My ideal album would be twelve tracks, nine or ten of which would have been recorded between 1998 and 2009, whereas the remaining would be mixed from previous eras (Dangerous and Bad). The RedOne tracks have the best chance of reaching the pop charts -- hey, I would LOVE to see Michael hit number one again -- so I would push for those tracks to be released. Pretty much all of my other points I'll be listing below:

Now this is going to sound over the top for a lot of people but I think the album should contain SEVENTEEN tracks. Yes you read correctly. As time went on MJ always released more songs on his albums (Invincible had 16, History had 15, Dangerous had 14, Bad had 11, Thriller had 9) and I believe if MJ were alive he would have stuck to the same routine. This is absolutely achievable as it is only one more song then what was on Invincible and most of the songs on that album are a good four-five minutes or so in length. It was recently revealed in the AEG trial that MJ recorded over 100 songs between 2001-2008 that are ready to be released so they certainly would not have trouble finding enough tracks.

I don't remember hearing that fact in the AEG trial, but that's interesting to know! But seventeen is way too much. It's difficult to say how many unreleased tracks the estate actually has because there are many who refuse to hand anything over. They're missing a bunch of songs from the Off the Wall era and the This Is It era (2006-2009) specifically. I would love seventeen new songs but that would dry out the well fairly quickly. I think a reasonable album would be twelve songs, mostly from 1998-2009 and maybe one or two Bad and Dangerous outtakes thrown in there (such as Behind the Mask/Much Too Soon on Michael).

In order for the songs to be on the album, they should be atleast 80% completed by MJ. Any songs not 100% completed should be finished off by the appropriate producers. Escape is definitely a song that should be on the album. Others songs that should be considered for the album are: Days in Gloucestershire, People Of The World, You Are So Beautiful, From The Bottom Of My Heart/I Have This Dream, Innocent Man and the Will.I.Am and RedOne tracks. As stated though these should only be considered if they are atleast 80% complete. When MJ passed there were sheets of unreleased songs he had written down found in his home, he was obviously working on them and intended for them to be released. You can view them here: http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/06/14/...side-death-house-drugs-propofol-0319-480w.jpg and http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/7499/vlcsnap2011111200h38m40.png If any of these songs are more then 80% completed they should definitely be included as there is a good chance if MJ had of lived they would of ended up on his next album.

People of the World won't be released on a studio album because they're aren't vocals for it, unfortunately. Michael never really wrote full lyrics for it -- he just mumbled through the melody, sang most of the choruses (such as in Free), and handed the demo over to Yasushi Okimoto to write Japanese lyrics. But the other tracks you mentioned undoubtedly should be considered. I wouldn't hold my hopes up regarding the TMZ list though. These were the tracks Michael was intent on finishing overseas in London, many of which may or may not have vocals. (Ex.: Shut Up and Dance is included on one of the lists, although that song is barely 40% finished.) I would only say that we should count on having at least one post-Invincible song on there.

The album cover should contain an image of MJ in his last few years (within the 01-09 period) and the album booklet should contain images of MJs last photo shoots he did in 2007.

As for the album title, I believe MJ would have chosen one of the track names as the title as he usually would of done. It would most probably have been a one word title. (However I do like the title 'For The World' if this song is atleast 80% completed).

I definitely agree with these. I think the book should be themed like the Bad 25 booklets -- have two pages dedicated to each individual track, with photos from that era included (most of them should be never before seen or rare). As far as album titles go, I would love to go back to the one-word title trend Michael used, although I have come to like For the World and Slave to the Rhythm.

Promotion should be HIGH for this album. It should be the last BIG project to be released and should be the last album of its kind to feature recordings only from MJs last years. After this future albums should contain a mix of songs from different eras (similar to MICHAEL) and only have the standard 10 songs.

These are my thoughts on what I desperately want for the new album, and what I feel the estate need to do if they are to regain the faith and respect of fans. They need to go all out for this!

I would like to think that this isn't the last BIG project. Maybe this and Dangerous 25 (assuming that happens). But unlike many, I hope that the 2013 project is an album and the 2014 project isn't. I think fans should have a long waiting period in between unreleased material so excitement can grow. Look how big the reaction was when the six new Bad demos were released. By then we hadn't gotten a new song in two years! But I do feel that THIS is the opportunity for the estate to correct their mistake with Michael. Of course we will never forget that, but I think a well thought out, presentable, great album would really make us smile and say, "Good job, estate."

1. For The World
2. Days In Gloucesteshire
3. What Makes You Think
4. The Dark Lady
5. Casino Night
6. Miss You
7. You Are So Beautiful
9. From The Bottom Of My Heart
10. Lady Of Summer
11. Silent Spring
12. Light This Way
13. If You Don't Get It
14. Adore You
15. Exotic Dancer
16. Be Me For A Day
17. Dirty Deal

The titles I've bolded and italicized can't be released because they aren't Michael Jackson tracks. What Makes You Think was a snippet that leaked back in 2011 that was of some independent singer imitating Michael; Exotic Dancer is a James Porte track; and Casino Night doesn't even exist. People tend to make up titles and pass them off as legitimate songs.

Additionally, as it's been noted, it's not a good idea to put together track listings when we don't even know what songs are complete enough to be released.

im glad to hear that, but 3 discs at once is too many, just release one cd with song's from 2006-2009 this time around and release another new album in 2017! possibly a double disc cd, with song's mostly recorded from 2008-2009.

This would REALLY clean the vault of post-Invincible material. Any future album will probably only have one to three post-Invincible tracks on there until the estate locates/attains more songs from that era (which is right under their noses half of the time).

 

[jtabbott8]

Rodney Jerkins has said that there are tons of finished tracks from the invincible sessions. Enough to fill multiple albums.

I for one, would love to see that 3 disc set happen. I mean, all the tracks are from the same era, with commentary from producers and people who worked with time during this time, it would be perfect. Sure, there wouldn't be much 06-09 material left after that.. but so what, you've got the music, 30 new songs.. i rather have them, packaged nicely in a beautiful set, then them just sit in the vault and be spread across multiple albums mixed with tracks from 25 years earlier..

It would not "clean out the vault" you still have got all of the 70s 80s and 90s and Invincible outtakes.. i mean, the material is there..

Not to mention concert films, Destiny,Triumph, and Victory tours are essential. And i believe will eventually be released.
Rehearsal footage, in the studio footage, making of's, etc...

I don't think the vault will be "clean" for a VERY VERY long time...

 

[rsggamer123]

Thank you all for your thoughts and opinions. AlwaysThere I agree 'Slave To The Rythym' would also be a great title. No matter what they decide to do I think they should as much as possible focus on what type of album MJ would release if he were alive. MJ strove for perfection in all of his albums and that shouldn't change even if he is no longer here.

I'm getting so impatient waiting for news about this album. There isn't anybody at all with inside knowledge about the album, what songs they are working on, release date plans, etc? Mkgenie? Smooth_Criminal05? anyone??

 

[AlwaysThere]

John McClain began putting together ideas for a new album before Bad 25 was even released. Actual work was supposed to begin sometime after Bad 25 aired in North America, so between the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013. Can't say if this actually proceeded, but considering the hints dropped by Michael Prince around November, I would think so.

How do you know the song Shut Up and Dance is only 40% complete?

 

[KOPV]

I missed what hints prince mj left, could someone fill me in?

In my opinion we need 1 quality album.. Something that sounds now, most likely what mj was working on post 2003-2009.. Older stuff could be re worked to to sound dated for now..

Really they could do so much, even demos that have one verse and the chorus, could be turned to a duet if that what it takes to complete it. As long as all the music stays focused on the authentic sound mj was trying to create. They could get those who were working on specific tracks to take part to make sure of that..

Once we get one full album that could be marketed for radio, market the crap out of it and release.. Have a few singles out prior to release, back it like a real album. Videos and all, use studio footage, whatever to make a great video.. There's rehearsal footage that cud be used to. Mike had videographers that went everywhere with him. Cud show him in dance studio, him rehearsing for tours. Whatever...

This could be done right if they just put the effort into it. Once that album were to come out, I'd reccomend a freeze on mj music for a while.. Create the wait again, and maybe 3 yes later.. Same attack plan..

Within that time it wouldn't hurt to do unfinished songs not up to par on fan projects.. Not wide release.. But the true marketed stuff should have a wait, Michael always did that for a reason.. Builds the hype!!

Michael album wasn't done right... They need a real freaking mj album.. I'm not taking away the things I like about Michael, but Michael woulnt have released it..

 

[AlwaysThere]

How do you know the song Shut Up and Dance is only 40% complete?

Can't give exact names, but several sources. Engineers, those who have been lucky enough to listen in on sessions, etc. Shut Up and Dance apparently has very few vocals.

I missed what hints prince mj left, could someone fill me in?

Michael Prince, one of Michael's sound engineers, posted several hints on Instagram and Twitter that a new album was forthcoming. The most damning was a photo of several hard drives with the caption, "New tracks from MJ soon will be coming". There was also a photo of him and Brad Buxer where he noted they were working on a "secret project," as well as a photo of a monkey in front of a studio board. (This may be a joke unrelated to Michael, but I personally took it as a hint towards Bubbles.)

In my opinion we need 1 quality album.. Something that sounds now, most likely what mj was working on post 2003-2009.. Older stuff could be re worked to to sound dated for now..

The difficulty is that post 2003 material is lacking. They could very well make a full album comprised of only post Invincible material, but that would leave them with very few tracks from that period left, if any. That's why we only got one new song from that era in the last four years -- Best of Joy. Additionally, reworking tracks is the worst thing the estate could do at this point. Remember the backlash from the reworking of Hollywood Tonight on Michael? Their best bet is to leave everything untouched, save for necessary edits (blank spots with no vocals, Michael speaking to the studio conductors, etc.).

Really they could do so much, even demos that have one verse and the chorus, could be turned to a duet if that what it takes to complete it. As long as all the music stays focused on the authentic sound mj was trying to create. They could get those who were working on specific tracks to take part to make sure of that..

Recreating an unfinished song into a duet should only happen when the vault is nearly dry. Most of the fans have said that a duet album is a bad idea. Just as we don't want producers tampering with Michael's vision, we don't want artists doing it either. Not to mention that I would not buy the product if I saw Justin Bieber, Adele, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga or Bruno Mars anywhere near Michael's name in the credits.

Once we get one full album that could be marketed for radio, market the crap out of it and release.. Have a few singles out prior to release, back it like a real album. Videos and all, use studio footage, whatever to make a great video.. There's rehearsal footage that cud be used to. Mike had videographers that went everywhere with him.

Michael album wasn't done right... They need a real freaking mj album.. I'm not taking away the things I like about Michael, but Michael woulnt have released it..

I agree with these points. I'm in favor of a new album this year and a freeze on new material until 2016, when Dangerous 25 should happen (assuming it does). Next year we could get that Blu-ray of Michael's music videos we've wanted, and maybe some kind of re-release of This Is It in 2015 with the live performances of Will You Be There, Dangerous and Stranger in Moscow.

The marketing is crap. Sony's not backing the products like they should. I have never heard a post-death Michael Jackson song on the radio other than This Is It. It seems like they fail to realize that good promotion increases public awareness of the product itself. Look at Kanye West's Yeezus, which many are calling the rap album of the year. It got the lowest sales numbers of his career, which many attribute to the lack of standard promotion.

Michael was a disaster. This is the estate's chance to make up for it.

This is not true... The Michael Jackson Estate have been registering and copyrighting all of these tracks:

all of which are post invincible (some source before invincible but worked on in later years)


Of coarse no one can know what state these songs are in, but i can't see the estate registering and getting copyrights if the material wasn't releasable..

So i think it would be very easy to fill 2 or 3 albums with post invincible tracks.

all of which are post invincible (some source before invincible but worked on in later years)


Of coarse no one can know what state these songs are in, but i can't see the estate registering and getting copyrights if the material wasn't releasable..

So i think it would be very easy to fill 2 or 3 albums with post invincible tracks.

These songs are not all post-Invincible though. The estate listed them as having been created in 2009 because, quite frankly, they didn't know the actual recording date. For example, Neverland Landing is from around 1990, and Thank Heaven is from 1998 or 1999. Any songs listed with Brad Buxer could have been recorded between 1989 and 2008. Not to mention that a good margin of these songs probably aren't complete, but the estate is registering them nonetheless (such as Shut Up and Dance).

I've haven't seen many online writing of engineers talking about unreleased songs do you have any you could link me too? I assume you know of others if you can't remember Shut up and dance

Many were based from personal conversations I had, but I remember seeing a forum post somewhere where an engineer talked about it. I'll try to look it up for you!
