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

By the way, why does the Estate need the prince's permission to release the demo? Is he a co-writer? Or does he own every single demo MJ recorded in Bahrain?

The prince is a coproducer and they need his say so to release any of his songs. Same situation as to why Bad 25 didn't have any Quincy Jones productions :)

What does that mean, exactly?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

They will probably release the first single about 4 weeks before the album... so, I suppose it's going to happen next monday (14th April).

***
By the way, some comparisons:

"One More Chance" was released 26 days before "Number Ones";

"The Girl is Mine 2008" was released 25 days before "Thriller 25th";

"Hold My Hand" was released 25 days before "Michael".

And Xscape was (un)released a few years before Xscape :p

Do you think there will be also a demo version of the phone? :D
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Next Monday could be a good day to release the single, based on the days of previous releases.

"Xscape" both new and demo versions (the latest one Michael worked on) remain unheard.

Yeah, I just learned that too. I always thought the tricky version was the original. Lookin forward to both the new and original version.

But I'm not taking anything this Skip Dillard says as fact. There was no information revealed at the listening parties as far as single release dates are concerned. He's probably guessing.

You Will Two-Step To “Love Never Felt So Good”
This opening track from the album has an old-school, ‘80s feel that’s simply irresistible. Don’t fight it. Move those feet.

Michael Sings About Being Boyfriend #2
On “Chicago (She Was Lovin' Me),” MJ sings about being blindsided by a woman he’s dating. Turns out, o’girl has a husband and kids! Michael reportedly co-wrote pieces of the track. Go ahead and sip your tea.

MJ Found Inspiration In Televisions PSAs
Everyone remembers that old public service announcement that preceded the nighttime news: "It's 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are?" In a similar fashion, Michael tells the story of a runaway kid on “Do You Know Where Your Children Are?” over a galactic synth loop that’s still stuck in my head, two days later.

2Pac And Michael Jackson Would’ve Made Great Music Together
On the second playback of Xscape, after many of the attendees were already retrieving phones and bags from coat check, L.A. Reid unearthed a version of the title track with vocals from Tupac Shakur’s “Changes.” And believe it or not, it was epic. You can only imagine Mike and Makaveli dapping each other in upstairs in Thugz Mansion.

WHAAT? This is freaking AMAZING! I assume that would be the OG right? Then its different from the one we've had for years
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

surely the first single won't be released less then two weeks before the album is out. The album will probably be leaked early may anyway.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.


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

I'm going to assume most of you guys never listened to a lick of top 40 radio over the last 2 years?

Because 'Love Never Felt So Good' seems like an excellent choice. Look at the number one single in America right now, hell, look at the number 2 single in America. http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100.

Pharrell's 'Happy'. Strong melody, retro vibe. Its what people love at the moment. Best music trend in years. John Legend's 'All of Me' is a sultry piano ballad. Sony studied those charts and the current vibes people are leaning towards. Michael will fit right in.

True, I have been listening to Happy daily now for weeks. I am hooked on. I hear it in the cabs and stores--it seems everywhere I go that song plays. t reminds me of that Jackson 5 song with Happy in it. I am waiting for a new Michael song to replace my addiction to that Happy song.

I also love the fact that he acknowledged the " I'ts 10 pm do you know where your children are" part
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Did they know each other?

I have to say that it is kind of funny how this is all driving us crazy in a good way. I think Michael would get a kick out of that lol.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Wait wait wait, what does this mean? Second playback? Title track? Does it mean that the Song Xscape has a remix version with 2Pac on the 2nd CD?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

What's a better song ?

(I Like) The Way You Love Me or Love Never Felt So Good ?

It could mean that there is an earlier version of escape than the one we have that features vocals from 2pac. It wouldn't be the first time, hence unbreakable. Atleast that's what i took from it
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Yeah, da king iz back!
