does anyone like the police sirens in the beginning of Xscape ? Hopefully they get rid of that on the new version.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I love the sirens and all the other sound effects on escape..I pray to god they dont get rid of them..mj wanted them on the track so theres no reason they should get rid if them..

I love the ad! Very retro yet modern.

I would love to see those style of ads all over my town :D
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Wonder what the pointing is about in the picture? The first one has a drawing of him in it and he's pointing, not sure what that's about. Cool add though, can't wait for new music!!!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

They're bringing back MJ with style! Love it.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

OMJ, this new add is gorgeous, artistic and modern at the same time! :woohoo:

How I wish that was the actual cover instead!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I love it! Can't stop playing it.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I have a really positive feeling we will get some more news tomoz, regarding tracklistin or even single news :)
Thats brilliant by the way
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

That's an awesome promo short! They're really doing this justice this time around.

Seriously! That'd be a much better choice, I just think it's so cool...It brings a sense of nostalgia, but still modern :D

It's badass indeed! I bet many more people would be happier if that was the cover.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Of course. But when I'm at home I prefer listen to CDs. Don't know why. Maybe it's just an old habit.

Me too!! I listen to cds in the house and use ipod/ipad when I am on the go.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Indeed seems from BOTDF but the add is beautifully made either way. I love it much more than the first one, it really captivates and catches your attention.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

So we figured it out ? The cover artwork is from BODF ?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

To whomever said to get rid of the sirens in the opening of Xscape (the song), I completely disagree.. I hope the sirens and helicopter sounds are left in (although maybe lowered in volume a bit) because I love the cinematic aura it creates right at the start of the song.. Like letting the listener know from the get-go that this is a hard hitting, powerful song that needs to be heard...
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Two random thoughts about the tracklist... One positive, one negative...

The positive: I am so glad that, after all these years, the song Xscape is finally getting a commercial release. I always felt that song was too strong to just simply exist on Youtube in bad quality forever.

The negative: I really resent the inclusion of Love Never Felt So Good. Not only is the song distinctly average, but also, it is only being included because of a business agreement between John McClain and Paul Anka after Anka got screwed over the royalties for TII. I resent that the estate are making these kind of deals with songwriters and producers. The decisions about what to release should be based on the strength and quality of Michael's work, not anything else.

How do you know LNFSG is added to this album because of business agreement? Paul A released a duets album last year, and This Is It with Mj was in it, so I think TII in his album was the only agreement between Anka and Estate.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I guess it's (partly) speculation, but my opinion is the same.
The way I see it, Anka was acting like a total a**hole back then, and the estate certainly made some deal to "please" him/shut him up (speculation on my part: changed TII credits, extra money for the usage of the "stolen" TII song in the movie, approval for release of "his" cheesy and badly mixed duet version with Michaels parts at low volume, LNFSG on next album)
