Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

very boring in this fanbase right now.. i've even listened to all the cascio outtakes as i'm so bored... urgh. in need of something new.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I love that they're not announcing anything yet, letting information trickle out incredibly slowly. Just imagine how much this forum is gonna implode when the announcement comes.

Well the only ones who have a clue about a possible album is us few hardcore fans who come on here looking. Fact is no one else in the world has a clue. They will only care if the music is any good. MJ is not here things will never be even close to the past when he was. I for one want something new I am also keeping my expectations very low for fear of disappointment.

You better get used to it. In a few years time it's very likely there'll be a number of years between new releases... if there are still new releases that is.

Besides it's not like we haven't got anything new to play with over the past couple of months. I am the Loser, A Place With No Name, a large number of multitracks to toy around with, Oprah outtakes, the HIStory tour rehearsals (idk if they leaked ages ago, I just saw a thread for it like 2 months ago so I'll assume they came out recently). For an artist who's dead I think we're doing extremely well.

I'm glad the Estate are taking their time with this release! If it means the album will be higher quality than I'm all for it.

Surprisingly, it's not as it seems. When Timbaland spoke about the album, everyone was reporting it -- even Rolling Stone. A few of my friends (both fans and non-fans) actually asked me about it. It's not huge, but people know it's coming. Either way, I agree with you. My expectations are being kept low, though something in me is saying that this is gonna be a pretty darn good release. I mean, really, how can they screw it up? So long as they actually go through with the format Damien Shields reported, the only bad thing they can really do is only include like five new songs.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

With the way things are going i dont im getting a feeling there wont be any new album :(
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I feel there will be an album but we just have to wait. I would rather them take their time then rush something.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

im starting to think we won't get it till late this year which would totally suck. I seriously dont know if i can wait that long..
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Days In Gloucestershire and People Of The World will be leaking soon, according to people on Soundcloud. Three people have gotten the songs just within the last two weeks.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Agh yay
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

People work themselves up to expectations then act all disappointed when things do not go the way they wanted/imagined. Patience people.

The snippet posted of DIG is fake. So don't get your hopes up. The soundcloud people are the trolls of the MJ world
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

There are a good amount of people who have People of the World, so I would expect a leak.

Days in Gloucestershire is still rare though. There are only a handful of people who have it and they aren't letting it leak for anything. I wouldn't expect that song anytime soon, unless someone had a change of heart.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I still don't understand how MJ could work on these songs over so many years, yet a lot of them are still so incomplete.

Those who have DIG have POTW. Almost all of the cases.

The Soundcloud guy who claims to have DIG and will be leaking it soon also claims he has songs that do not even exist.

 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Soundcloud is full of scammers and wanna-bes and its easy to spot. They just want view counts.


I would say anything is not leaking for awhile, most collectors are tightly holding onto their material as the true ones always have.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Apparently some traders cut off all contact with other traders after A Place With No Name leaked. (Which is pretty understandable - it's been the rarest song out there for almost five years, given that no one knew who had it.)

I still don't understand how MJ could work on these songs over so many years, yet a lot of them are still so incomplete.

That's how Michael worked unfortunately. Look at Hollywood Tonight, which was worked on from summer 1999 to October 2008 and was still only about 60%-70% completed.

Tomorrow Timbaland will annoucement something massive, maybe any MJ material?

I wouldn't put my money on it. For one thing, why would Timbaland announce any Michael Jackson music? Wouldn't the Estate/Sony want to take the lead on that? It's probably going to involve his next Shock Value album.

"timbo fans", huh?

Nope, no hopes up

You must also take into consideration that an unfinished Michael Jacksons song equates to some artists finished songs. Hollywood Tonight, e.g has, choruses, 2 verses, and a bridge (more or less). That would be a complete song by today's standards. Obviously the instrumentation was not finalized but yeah, for Michael Jackson standards, they are incomplete just as AlwaysThere said :)

Exactly :) Same with I'm So Blue. That song as far as I'm concerned is finished, but Michael probably considered it a demo. He was very peculiar with his music.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Timbaland also tweeted this to a follower who asked "what about MJ album?":

"I GOTCHU, IT'S COMIN"
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

He deleted the tweet now? Can't see it.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

It's still there in his timeline. 17h ago. He answered this guy who asked him...

Today his announcement is due.
I doubt it's bout MJ though...

But the answer that IT'S COMIN gives me hope at least. Hearing it from Timbo himself...
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

But we all know it's coming ^^ He already made a video talking about the album.
