Xscape General Discussion

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

Could we go back to Xscape? I don't get what the hell is going on.
I'm still stuck on the mysterious unidentified track #3. All we have so far are tiny hints: voice sounds like early to mid 80s / mid-tempo / kinda love song
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Well dynwyca would be like IN YOUR FACE for haters. Anyway I think this strategy weak song first doesnt work anymore. People will just lose interest that way and this will result in far less single releases imo.


I must agree on this one. It's been too long since MJ hasn't released an in-your-face album. Now there is clearly a huge potential to do so.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I'm so excited for new music!!!! Do you guys think some of the music has been released already???
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

:unsure:I feel like fainting already! Looks like I missed That new promo short then :shock:
I hope it resurfaces again soon
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I vote that they release Love Never Felt So Good first.

Why? Because that's hands down the weakest track on the album, even if John McClain spiced it up a bit. And while it will probably get some positive reviews, I'm sure critics will say, "This album is shaping up to be pretty boring if this is all they have to offer." (Well, critics who weren't in attendance at any of the listening parties will say that.)

Then they release Do You Know Where Your Children Are. And everyone shuts up.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Slave should be first single IMO since it's garnered so many YouTube views for that phone commercial.. People wanna hear the full Song already why not give them what they want and then release a summer love song (LNFSG?)...
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

In my opinion the first single should be the strongest song on the album. So Chicago.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

In my opinion as first single, they should release a song.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Michael is not with us anymore. This can be no 'slow burner'. The first single needs to hit with a "BOOOOM!!!"

admit it, releasing only a song on the single would be a very poor content

Tracklist:

01. Prayer by Rev. Lovejoy
02. Interlude "Eat My Shorts" by B. S.
03. Song

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

I think having the singles chart would be better than the album charting well, because this would make Michael more well known, so it's very important us fans buy the singles!

Well they're not going to release a dove are they? :p

Or what about those guys from the prison version video "They Don't Care About Us"? They could release them too.

I would still go just for track n°3. The two others would be a bit overdriving.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Feeling like I am probably the only person here that likes LNFSG :-( Can't wait to hear the updated version even though I love the original!

Maybe not lyrically great (Anka is a bit middle of the road), I just feel Michaels vocal performance is really quite strong! Xx
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

A STRONG first song on the album...

In Michael's albums they were:
:yes: Off The Wall - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
:yes: Thriller - Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
:yes: Bad - Bad
:yes: Dangerous - Jam
:yes: HIStory - Scream
:yes: Blood On The Dance Floor - Blood On The Dance Floor
:yes: Invincible - Unbreakable

BUT

In posthumous albums they are:
:no: Michael - Hold My Hand
:no: Bad 25 - Don't Be Messin' 'Round
:unsure: XSCAPE - Love Never Felt So Good

SONY,
why.gif

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

Maybe SONY should insert some Chuck Norris's vocals on the first song. it would make it strong.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

It's a posthumous album; of course the estate isn't going to follow the Michael Jackson guide book to a T. It is actually a nice change of pace when the album doesn't begin with a fast song. On Michael we opened calmly with Hold My Hand and were thrown in to Hollywood Tonight. Here, we start with Love Never Felt So Good and head into what some people say is the best song Michael's done in years.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I want them to pick the song that makes the best impact and people will take notice. To come out strong and show the world that this is Michael Jackson. I just want people to enjoy it especially non fans or casual fans because I feel they need to be reached out to and see Michael beyond the 80s for some. Michael always looked to the future and hopefully people can see that too.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Love Never Felt So Good is the first song on the album? I am sorry but was this song on the Michael album or I am just confused? Sorry it's Monday lol.

It's going to be the first track on the Xscape album
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I am however afraid that they make up their minds and decide not to release the first single, but that they release the second single instead.

On Michael it was Hold My Hand.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

What MJ used to do was first releasing duets (The Girls Is Mine, I just Can't Stop Loving You, Scream,...) then short after he would release da bomb!

If there is a duet track or a weaker song, maybe they might start by releasing it first, before dropping da bombS

But that was the 80's. It's 2014 now and times have changed. Also people now a days seem to have the attention span of a goldfish. So a strong, upbeat song is needed for the 1st single to catch people's attention

I think he also did it because the radios would have played the duets anyway as first singles due to people's curiosity and requests. So, if there is a duet on this new album, then maybe it would be better to play it first to so to say anticipate people's curiosity and requests. However, I must admit that I am impatient and that personally I'd prefer that they start right away with a bomb hit.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I hope the myterious track, is from the BAD era and not Thriller or Off The Wall, for me I believe his vocals sound to young, they might get away with it with LNFSG, but not on another track. BAD era would suit perfectly for the more mature sound in his voice. Please let it be unheard :angel:
