Xscape General Discussion

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

i will, it is interesting. I will be buying two copies of the deluxe version on release day! then i shall be going to kfc and getting a taxi home. excited

I thought you were going to run home?
 
Maybe a remix/reworked version of “Hot Fun In The Summertime” will be on CD1 as well? And original recording as bonus.(if Chicago+other is the same song)

I`m not convinced that "Do you know Where Your Children Are" will be included.....wouldnt surprize me at all if its replaced at the last minute.....I hope not because its one of my favorite MJ tracks and it would be great to have it in 100% sound quality.

Chicago, chicago1945 and she was loving me are different songs and chicago 1945 is not on this album.
simple:)

No. Chicago 1945 is not on the album.
Chicago IS She Was Loving Me (renamed in 2014) and it is on the album.

the more i look at the album artwork the more i dislike it. black mop over his head and then a comfy cone covering part of his face. :eek:hno: i'm sorry i hate it.

Then don't look at it.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Lady gaga worked with some 'vomit artist' and claimed it's art. Then her fans think it's okay to do that because they understood her intention. So does that make it any less disgusting? no. if some artwork is awful, it's awful. i dont care what's the artist intent or the story behind it. His artwork composition scks. He can draw some sprinkle dust and explain why he draw sprinkle dust for an album cover. That's just silly..

No it is awful TO YOU. His artwork composition sucks TO YOU.

Apparently GMTV in the UK are talking about Michael's work ethic and apparently proceeds from these posthumous albums will be going to charity.

As per Michael's last will and testament 20% of his estate is going to charity so they might be talking about that.

What they are saying about his work ethics?

This Morning (a daytime program in the UK) today voted for the album.
One of the presenters said MJ all the way, without a doubt!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I just listened all the leaked versions and judging by those versions this is my list from best to least best song:

1. Do You Know Where Your Children Are
2. A Place With No Name
3. Xscape
4. Love Never Felt So Good
5. Blue Gangsta
6. Slave To The Rhythm

The list will probably change when I hear the new versions. Most notably Slave To The Rhythm because Timbaland version sounds so awesome and the leaked mix sounds so bad. Do You Know Where Your Children Are will probably stay #1. Blue Gangsta will probably go up too.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Is it really necessary to consistently bug HMV stores or the Online Team? We all know that an album is coming, we all know that a single is coming. Why don't we act like normal fans and simply wait until we hear news rather than pry for it?

i do NOT have a problem with PHOTOSHOPPED MJ PICS as long as it looks GREAT and make MJ look GREAT. (His eyes here are beautiful with intense stare okay) The thing here is this artwork composition SUCKS BECAUSE it makes MJ looks stupid wearing that stupid comfy cone that also looks like some stainless steel net filter. It'd be much better if he just ps a mask over his face. something like this looks a gazillion times better than a comfy cone if the designer really wanted to put forth his idea of evoking mass of mystery, magic. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BkPYM_wCUAgjnvk.jpg:large

Michael was always interested in futuristic looks, which explains a number of his 1999 photoshoots for Invincible. And this single photo is better than any of them. Hell, this album cover is better than most released by living artists (Gaga's ARTPOP, Katy Perry's Prism are just two examples). And honestly, the photo you offered looks off. It just looks like the lower half of Michael's face is darker. At least the artist of the album cover gave an explanation of what the ring was.

In any sense, it's come to the point where I think you should keep your opinion to yourself. I hate saying that but honestly every post you make is simply about the album cover, not about the music itself, and it's beginning to grate on a lot of people.

The hearing in Paris. That would be the cover of the Single STTR?

I heard all of the leaked songs , all of them are hits , must be released and i will buy the album
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

You're wrong on the bolded part, some the pictures from the Vibe 2002 photo shoot aren't, neither the L'uomo Vogue one but Ivy already explained why those couldn't be used. Even this one from the 1999 TV guide photo shoot which it seems the Xscape cover was based on looks more natural and authentic.

My god he is so beautiful :wub:

The only problem I have with the Xscape cover is the positioning of the word Xscape. It makes Michael look like he has antennae giving him an alien kind of look

The hearing in Paris. That would be the case of the Single STTR?

Awesome single cover. So new version of Slave is 5:06 (or 5:00). That is 30 sec longer than the leaked version! Great.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I'm glad Xscape is receiving such positive reviews, it's good to see Michael creating human togetherness once again. Looking forward to seeing what promotion the Estate have planned next.
