Xscape General Discussion

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

2300 Jackson Street 25th Anniversary Edition


Nobody is expecting (or wanting) that to happen lol
if it would contain bonus tracks? Perhaps the Motown songs MJ had resung for the Decade project? would you still say no?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

What would be the song they will transmit?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

So is this a thing on the TV? they must have a video for this new song then?

It seems so. We already heard that a video was prepared for the first single.

Also the tweet from the YRMW dancers from a few days ago where they said they are preparing a secret project for the King Of Pop.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I've been playing the whole OFF THE WALL album on repeat for the past 1 week. This album is so under-rated.

underrated? It's his 2nd most praised album after Thriller

As this is a telecast I also wondered if there must be an accompanying video? Maybe with some studio footage? Can't wait now. Michael is gonna own May!!! X

Definitely. No.

OMG that's great! Can you share the tweets regarding this???
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Definitely. No.

Those tracks will probably come out on some future release or something anyways. It's not like 2300 Jackson Street is an album that's significant enough to warrant an anniversary reissue anyway.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Will they play more than 1 song or just the lead single?

Hope to see the musicvideo the same day!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Hype is building!!!

I bet MJ is looking down smiling! :)

Likely just one.

Theres an ad for the album on the German Amazon website (the cover of the CD) :) You have to move the cursor on the "MP3 & Cloud Player" link in the list on the left.

Rich & Tone were also part of both of the Cirque Projects - choreographing etc. .
They also can be seen doing the "auditions" in the infamous Hollywood Tonight video.
And they were on tour with MJ, i think he & Travis Paine discovered them...

Maybe they are planning a live-performance on the award show, with dancers from either ONE or Immortal WT, with the new song playing.
Wouldn't that be phenomenal??
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Not many days to wait anymore... - But those are the hardest...

Actually - with all the listening partys etc. I am surprised that the album has not leaked yet. - I am happy, but surprised. - I know people had their mobiles taken so they could not record, but I would have thought some would cheat maybe. But not even bad quality amateur recordings have leaked. - Well done SONY!

Hope it will not leak before May 9th when it is officially released in some countries.

?

Since this is the only way to make a Live performance I like the idea very much! - Television is a great way to promote. - So if they perform at X-factor, Idols, Grammy show, AMA and other award shows I think it really would be great promotion and a great way to make people aware of the new album. - And maybe even Cirque too. - Win-Win really!

Make MJ as visible as possible is the best they can do. - Social media, commercials, radio play, television, billboards etc. etc. - The more the better!! Make it HUGE !!!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Very exciting. I like the little surprises popping up like this. :) My guess is they will either perform live with dancers to the new song or just premiere the video. Can't wait!

Latest Updates :) ;)

Source : http://www.abc.es/cultura/musica/20140422/abci-michael-jackson-xscape-201404212219.html

1. "Love Never Felt So Good" . This is a part-time, with violins and an outstanding rhythm section. Remember the style of Barry White . That is, mellow but with rhythm. As with other songs, abused some production effects.

2. 'Chicago' . Another half time when Michael Jackson doubles voices. Resumes tackles the rhythm, which sounds a bit disconcerting. There are sweet moments that combine with furious now.

3. "Lovin 'You" . Continued over the rhythm section in the foreground. The best, the own contribution of Michael Jackson, his voice full power, with an innate intuition for rhythm and melody. A great timeless song has been sealed as very contemporary.

4. "A Place with No Name" . The first great moment of the disc. The latest songs led the applause of those present at the audition, but were heard at the end of this most sincere and convincing. The voice is in good company. We find your facet pop, with a chorus that sticks to the first and encouraging the dance.

5. "Slave to the Rhythm" . It has an electronic start. Here we step facet funk, to classic rhythm changes, acceleration and stoppages nervous he dominated with cockiness. After the previous song, however, sounds a little step, but it is danceable. The rhythm is marked by synthesizers, which is perhaps the most "interesting" of the song.

6. "Do You Know Where Your Children Are" . Strange robotic effects mixed with the typical singer shrieks. It also seems too ornate, but the issue is gaining with each passing second. The 'dark' disc, without concessions to sentimentality.

7. "Blue Gangsta" . The strangest. Michael's voice seems to be groping various ways. It even seems to speak to us from beyond.

8. "Xscape" . The single, although it has not yet been made ??public. It has the classic stamp of its author, perhaps more. Even when listening, one would immediately comes the image of Michael Jackson dancing it. Unfortunately, it is something we can imagine, but it will never see. A great theme.


according to an announcement on tv, in iHeartRadio Awards 2014 a new song from Michael Jackson will be released. The awards are broadcast next May 1 on NBC :D

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

Wow... There really isn't much left in terms of coherency or worthwhile reading after Google Translate had its way with that one.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

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

The single!
I wouldn't take that as the gospel... We've heard different titles from different sources (which might actually be sth they're doing on purpose, to confuse people and control the element of surprise) -- Chicago, Love Never Felt So Good, and now Xscape. Maybe just wait for an official announcement / release ;)
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I hope Xscape is the first single!

I think it is better with a high-tempo song as the first single!!
 
Re: News and discussion about possible upcoming MJ album

Michael Jackson + Freddie Mercury in the same song = Epicness!!!

This could be a good bonus track. - But I am happy that there are no duets on the "normal" edition! - It's all MJ !!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

LNFSG is the first single

How do you know? Nothing official has been said. - If they told fans at the listening party LNFSG was first single - maybe they did so because they could not keep their mouth shut... - Seems like a good idea to say one thing and start some rumours then when the first single drops it's actually another song than anticipated!

I hope Xscape is first single. - Don't get me wrong LNFSG will propably be a great song, but the first single should not be a slow song IMO....
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I heard that Love Never Felt So Good as been mixed into a Rock With You/Off The Wall style track

I would love that!! - Those 2 songs are both amazing!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I just want the first single to have a good first impression.
