wow, great news. Michael Bearden was probably one of the last persons who knew what Michael wanted musically. Maybe he even heard in 2009 something we don't know yet.

And something different: Saw an MJ picture from the 90ies today that Arnie Klein is selling: http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/klein31svt35foqa.jpg
So I made a quick album cover (work in progress) from it with the unreleased song bang your head. Who knows, maybe it will be on the forthcoming album. Among fans, it could be known as "the orange album" ;-)

That photo would be cool album cover :clapping:

Like the pic for the fencing gear. Maybe something like that (photo shoot outtake)?

you guys think we'll get to hear the neff-u tracks on this record? and that song Michael recorded with snoop doggy dog? would be wonderful!

I think they will be on it. They could use the allstar song with snoop dogg as a bonus track or save it for a future "duets" album.
If they are among the most recent and best tracks they should certainly be on the next album. After all, according to Neff-u Michael wanted to be "simple, not overproduced" with new positive songs. And it seems he liked Neff-U/his style (ILTWYLM, BOJ,...). This should be respected.

Anyone has a list of the Neff-u produced songs? I think "bang your head" is also among them.

so we have two song's released from the neff-u sessions, how many does that leave for this album and future releases then? Wasn't 'bang your head' recorded in 2008 along with a few more that were rumored to be 2009?
 
Found some:

Bang Your Head
Broken Chair
D.I.E.
Don’t Make Me Stay
H20
Lady of Summer
Red Eye
Silent Spring
For the World

They are supposed to be recorded with Michael Durham Prince and Neff-u

wow, that's enough for a very wonderful album! glad there's still a few left from the last few sessions :) can't wait to hear them all eventually!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

To what extent do these have vocals though? We can through all the titles in the world around but we have no idea if they are anywhere near complete enough to be reworked/released

With all this talk, I'm seriously getting excited for this album, because well..it's Michael Jackson! :lmao: :heart:

Plus it'll be out a little after my 15th birthday ^.^ the perfect gift for me!

Thank you very much! It was fun doing it.
Obviously, for it to be perfect I would need the highres picture and polish it a little, but it fits the song title. Let's see what the Estate/Sony comes up with ;-)
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I know this is off topic, but you know how many people DON'T realize that the Dangerous tour outfit was influenced by fencing gear? I think it's actually cool where the idea came from..

Im so ready for some new MJ music and a new MJ album, I wasn't one to hate 'Michael' I just skip the few controversial tracks, but I more so thought of it as a compilation of unreleased material ((minus those few tracks) where as in this next one. (Though it is a compilation of unreleased material) I think of this upcoming album as a real MJ album release.. I think how they are working on it, the rumored tracks, who is working on it etc. All of that makes me feel like we are getting the closest to a real new MJ album we can at this point.

I'm so excited, I just can't hide it!!

i agree, i think with a chance.. it could match 'invincible' in terms of vocal artistry, especially if the two cd rumor is true.. could beat it! just hope we get 2-3 post trial tracks on there! would be cool to listen to quite recent work by Michael! loooking forward to it regardless, think we'll get la mia (1999)? :p

If my memory is ok then Lady of Summer, Silent Spring, H20 and D.I.E. was on the list with songs Michael considered for his album.
It would be nice to hear them but maybe they are far from finished.

^^ Exactly.

Speculating about unreleased song titles is absolutely useless. It makes people believe that there is more than there actually is. For example, the community discussed the Bryan Loren collaboration "Seven Digits" for years upon years, and it was never even recorded (a factoid most people don't know).

The only songs that we can actually discuss are songs that are KNOWN to be vocally completed -- I Was the Loser and She Was Lovin' Me are two good examples.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

/\ but then there would be nothing to talk about....I think we come here to talk lol!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Hope for some official news this year!!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

sure hope we can get some official info soon so people can stop being debbie downers and we can have something to look forward to for once.. hopefully some unheard titles also

Michael worked on the instrumental back in 2004 in LA with Brad Buxer (a video of the two working on it is on YouTube). The last time Michael worked on it was sometime in the late spring/early summer of 2008, right before Brad left to continue his piloting job. (Michael put a majority of the songs he was working on with Brad on hold until he could come back and finish them.) As far as vocals go, there are a few alternate/extended takes in existence. One of them could very well be a finalized mix :)

i would love if a finalized mix of this song is to be released on a new album in the future, it could be a true masterpiece and work that the whole world will adore if given enough recognition! i sure hope it's a possibility for the coming album, i wouldn't mind if we get one song already released as long as we get a few unheard tracks too like 'la mia' & 'she was loving me' thanks for the info :)

I agree! Although I'm usually against putting previously leaked/released tracks on future albums I would love to see Beautiful Girl show up somewhere. It's a gorgeous track and deserves some recognition. Of course :)

One thing though. What is "La Mia"? I've never heard that before.

I think we need a mixture to be honest. Focusing on songs that are yet to be leaked, but still having a small handful of leaks that are popular with fans (i.e. Slave to the Rhythm). Once we have less material, then I don't care whether it's been leaked or not, just so long as it's good :D
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

as far as leaked vs. unleaked... As long as I get a decent amount of songs I have never heard, and the quality of unleaked vs. leaked, I really don't mind leaked material to be released. There are songs that have been leaked that deserve the spotlight, that can for sure be hits.. Of course the one that comes often in my mind is Slave To The Rhythm. Yes we've heard it but the general public have not caught onto this song and could be huge!

I do want to hear music that is new to me though so very much!!! I would sacrifice a few tracks of leaked material for radio success if that's what it takes though!

well, we have been guessing titles and an original unreleased composition from 1999 has been put up for auction. we believe it to be a cd copy, some people say it was planned to be a duet with pavorotti! not sure if any of them are true but it is certainly from 1999! whatever the true title is, i'd love to hear it :) and i agree.. they should focus on pleasing fans as much as possible. of course i would love all unheard but we're already getting blue gangsta, and more than likely Escape :p as long as we have at least 6-7 completely unheard song's then i'll be happy! ready to see what they're coming up with. Branca did say ''New Music is coming'' if that's with the consideration of old leaks then we should all be happy.

''The Song is Called 'La Mia' & was recorded in June 1999'' :wild: http://www.gottahaverockandroll.com/ItemImages/000012/dec13-599_med.jpeg titled june 18th 1999. With the writing ''Sony Corporation Tokyo Japan'' More Info:

''This is Michael Jackson's personal musical composition titled "La Mia" that was never released. The running time is approximately 3 minutes. Michael gave this recording to a close friend and personal assistant whose family was very close to Michael for many years, travelling all over the world with him. This CD with Michael's unreleased composition comes from this close friend's personal collection and comes with a letter of provenance from him. Also comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.'' so it's three minutes long, i sure hope the estate own this song. Otherwise, that'll be a disaster if i'm completely honest.

We don't even know if this La Mia track is legit. Let's not get carried away.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

The information about the unreleased song being auctioned has been forwarded to the Estate
The item being auctioned is the CD, not the "song" itself or the underlying composition. Even if Michael gave this "personal assistant" the CD, the owner of the CD would not have any right to reproduce or distribute the song on it. That copyright would still belong to Michael/The Estate. That being said, I have forwarded your email on to the appropriate people. - Thank you, ****** MJonline
