Xscape General Discussion

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

regarding Hot Fun: it was never announced officially. It just comes from a FB thread by Jesse Johnson. I think it created some expectation where there was no epectation to have.
Why was hot fun recorded recently? What's the prupose to record such a song? Will it be released exclusively? Japan only? Xperia only? Single only?

Fact is Jesse has deleted his FB texting after the word got spread around.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

omg just go away already..

I hope there's 4 versions of LNFSG on the album!!

Going away because you can't handle my opinion? Show some respect.

And your wish is granted, there will be 4 LNFSG versions (3 songs + the video)!

As long as you're happy with it! I won't be paying for it. =)

I always think that if Michael was Paul McCartney then We Are The World and Do The Bartman would be considered among his UK #1 singles :candy:

Maybe there is duets album coming out later?
MJ - Freddie
MJ - Mary J Blinge and D'angelo
MJ - Tupac
"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. Unfortunately, this version will not be included on the retail Xscape album."

8 more duet songs and we have a full album.

I believe the MJ & Freddie Duets will be released on a Queen release, sadly (Yet it's cool because we get it sooner than a new MJ album).

imho, those 3 MJ&FM tracks (in their untouched state) would fit perfectly on a Victory 30th Anniversary Edition.

Very much agreed. Especially with the song "Victory" of course (even though we have no idea how complete it is/how it sounds). I hope they save one for such a release.

Has that been confirmed ?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Firstly, Richard didn't say that the remix of Love Never Felt So Good was included on every album. This has only been approved by Amazon France so far, which implies that it could be a French-only bonus track. Bad 25 offered those to other countries.

Secondly, anyone who is seriously going to not buy this album because of one song is overreacting to an extent I've never experienced. This isn't a Cascio track; it's a genuine song by Michael Jackson. It's real. Essentially what you're saying is,

"I refuse to buy an album of eight brand new songs and some apparently great material in the physical release because the bonus track, which Sony/the estate isn't obligated to include at all, isn't Hot Fun in the Summertime, which I was expecting even though it was never properly confirmed by the estate. I am very well aware that I could just choose to not listen to the bonus track, just as I won't listen to the reproductions. I am also aware that this track isn't confirmed for every single country and could change at any time, but who cares? I'm angry!"

And that's just selfish. As I've said before, some fans on here don't even deserve this album. (I'm not pointing at anyone in particular.)

In my previous post I forgot to add that I meant the 3 songs in their untouched state. Newly (re)mixed versions could still be released on a Queen cd.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

What I feel is that there are diferent bonus tracks, they may be spread on physical releases and on the Xperia products. It would make sense to have a little something different in the Xperia itself for people who buy it. Maybe another remix or something....
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

As to remixes, Michael stated he was personally against them in an interview shortly after Blood On The Dancefloor's Release I believe. I won't let this mask my excitement though. Until more unreleased Song's come.. I will create a playlist on VLC with 7 tracks from 'Michael' & the 8 Demo's from Xscape + One More Chance, We've Had Enough, Fall Again, Shout, Beautiful Girl & a few other's.

It's an outtake. Just like Slave To The Rhythm, Stay, All I Need & Burn Tonight were on MICHAEL. It will be released eventually.

The 3rd version of LNFSG is not confirmed yet, you're wasting your anger. :beach:

What's this constant repeating of people being 'selfish' for not buying something. If I don't want to buy this album, I won't. And if I have my own reasons for it, then good right? As long as you guys enjoy it it's all fine and I will certainly enjoy some of it aswell, of course. Yet my personal opinion is that I won't support a release, not due to a bad bonus track, but to an album featuring a very unfinished mediocre song 3 to 4 times including it being the lead single (I know, not 100% confirmed yet, but it looks like it). That's just a very stupid decision. And as you know, that wasn't the only reason, of course. As I like the way they did most things, they screwed up many things again aswell.

Maybe in the end I'll end up buying it if I really do enjoy the album, but for now it's not on my list anymore.

Hot Fun itunes-only content?

Avis sur l'album

This second posthumous album by the King of Pop follows 2010's Michael. Executive produced by Timbaland, it sees a selection of previously unreleased Jackson songs reworked by in-vogue producers such as Rodney Jerkins, StarGate, Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, and John McClain. The album, said to have a slick and contemporary sound, features contributions from Mary J. Blige, ?uestlove, D'Angelo, and the Time's Jesse Johnson. [This Deluxe Edition includes a second disc containing the original versions of the songs.] ~ John D. Buchanan, Rovi

I think instead releasing Xscape, they could release:

"Love Never Felt So Good - The Experience"
(12 Discs + 2 DVDs + 12 Remixes)

It should be illegal to be upset at bonus material.. It could be l.a read singing "ahhhhhh iiiii ahhhhhh ii" for 3 minutes and my mouth will still be forming a smile for the album.. And there's this new exciting thing that is in most mp3 players and various other devices called "skip" botton. It solves the problem!

oh yes, a whole dvd where Paul Anka narrates LNFSG

this should sound familiar to you
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

11 of the 12 remixes are remixes of the first remix which is a paul anka duet version.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Oh yeah, and they can release "Love Never Felt So Good - The Ultimate Collectors LP Edition"
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

But these miss the point of a remix? Shouldn't they be:

Your children are in Chicago
Slave with No Name
Do you know a place?
So Blue
Good Rhythm
You Never Xscape
etc
