Xscape General Discussion

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

That's not what was said. Anka said that when Michael and him recorded the songs together, Michael took the master tapes from the studio. Considering that they were recorded in Anka's home studio, and Anka (I'm presuming) pays for the recording equipment and tapes and whatnot, Michael should have asked before he walked out with them. So Anka has every right to say what he said.

Anka did not complain for the decades those two songs remained untouched that I am aware of.

Estate/Sony has a strong need to placate Anka for Michael's wrongdoing (if one wants to call it that). After LNFSG, Anka should be fairly compensated and McLain can enjoy other songs from Anka outside of Michael's pending posthumous releases.

As far as I am concerned, the hype related to Michael Jackson has never stopped since I became his fan in 1987...

I became (also) a fan since the release of BAD in 1987.
I'm proud to say that I'm his BIGGEST fan ever since then. th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:th:

Let me guess.....3 snippets?

Measure it on a song, snippets are usually 30 sec.

PS: There're 3 types of songs: album version(s) / radio edit(s) / extended mix(es)

You may be the biggest fan, some others are the tallest, the shortest, the lightest, the heaviest, etc... but as far as I am concerned, I am MJ's endlessly BEST fan ever in all proportions, sizes, etc.

Now, back on topic.


Xscape will be released on 13th of May. Yooohooo!

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

I hope nothing leak until 3 or 2 days before the release of the album. We lost the expectation to listen a full new album, just like the days of BAD or DANGEROUS when internet not exist and you have to wait until the release of the album.
I don't want to listen this album for the fist time today a song, tomorrow 2 new leaks...I prefer it will leak 2 or 3 days before of the release, not before...

So Anka has every right to say what he said.

Those masters were Michael's masters too regardless of who's recording equipment that was, hence a collaborative effort. So if a collaboration happens between two artists the other artists has ownership over the songs because they were recorded in his studio? So if it was recorded at westlake studios does westlake own the masters of the song? A Join Venture means just that, a Joint venture, co-ownership, it's as simple as that. Maybe Michael should have mentioned it to him before he took the masters but do we even know if that's the way it went down? I don't buy the whole "stole" them talk, they were his songs too he didn't steal anything. To imply the word "steal" means someone did something illegal, and if Mike did just that then Anka could/should have sued him, which never happened in Mikes lifetime.

[JEMFTV]

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

Do you think, that some specific songs on the album (STTR, DYKWYCA etc...) will be longer than their leaked versions?

 

[czechstar]

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

I think they will be the same length or slightly shorter...

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

I may be wrong, but I heard that Xscape album will be released soon. I wonder how the tracks sound like. :bored2::doublebass::trumbone::accordian:

 

[IvoDT]

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

I wonder if the original STTR was actually a dance track to begin with or maybe a rock type song.

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

I really do hope the fans like this release. I know I will, no doubt in my mind. I know that the fans on that listening party loved it, so I am sure it will be great. I just hope this fan board embraces it too. If not, it will be hard to come in here.

2) The song Snoop Dogg recorded with Michael was I Have This Dream. He recorded his part in November 2005 with numerous others (James Ingram, The O'Jays) in Los Angeles, but as we all know, Michael never finished it.
.

Michael finished I Have This Dream. Raymone Bain told me face to face. He just can't release it for various reasons. One may be related to the Arab prince.
