Xscape General Discussion

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

Michael recorded We've Had Enough in 2004, i believe specifically for the ultimate collection.. it is a masterpiece in my opinion.. i played it to non fans on a coach a few years back and they loved it.. i agree, the drums could sound a little more alive but i think it could work great as THE anthem on this new album, going with what Hess said.. we'd get 11 song's instead of 10 if this is included also..

"We've Had Enough" is an Invincible outtake.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I feel like we are getting something soon! In the meantime I would like to share some fanart for STTR. I am so curious what the official album cover will look like. I got really excited when I saw another member posting a cover idea for 'Bang Your Head'. Slave To The Rhythm should definitly be the lead single in my opinion. With the right mix it can go to number one.

This fits more with "A Place With No Name"

If you're not doing this for a living, you should be. Absolutely superb.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

that's why i included we've had enough in my fantasy tracklisting.. it's a beautiful song and as of now we don't know of other anthems.. it deserves to be exposed to a broader audience

Search for "People Of The World" on You Tube. This could be a potential anthem song (if the vocals are legit, which I think they are). I love We've Had Enough, but it's already been released, and should not be on another album. I felt the same way for The Way You Love Me. I felt it was a waste of time putting it on the Michael album when they could have put another unreleased track on there instead.

That booklet is full of mistakes. It's an Invincible outtake. Produced by Jerkins who only worked with Mj for Invincible. Michael did not record any new material for the Ultimate Collection.

''laa da dee, laa da doo, in the black hills of north virginia'' and some other mumbling by Michael, it seems severely incomplete.. but, there are rumors that this was a rough/early demo.. nothing is confirmed of course

Recorded in 1999. First collaboration with Rodney Jerkins. MJ recorded nothing for TUC. Sony used songs from the vault.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Do you guys think that is there any possibility of People Of The World be included in this album? It would be a dream coming true for me

very well done! where u got michaels handwriting from?
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

MJ saw the Ultimate Collection as "just a box set" I highly doubt he did anything towards it, it was a sony thing as far as I'm aware. But yeah, I think we need to follow michaels album formula and if that means anthem, one should be on there whilst they're still trying to make proper, commercial complete albums.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Thanks guys for liking the artwork. The handwriting is compiled from Michael Jackson notes. I also made a slightly different one for 'A Place With No Name'. As Pentum noted it probably fits a APWNN better.

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

Fits much better!

WOW!!

And Pentum is right! - It is PERFECT for APWNN !!!

Best fan art I have ever seen!!! - Fantastic work!! - I LOVE the idea of using MJ's handwriting!!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Give os some info God d........ :lol:

Come on Estate and SONY!! - You can not give us a commercial using STTR and then not give us ANY info regarding the new album...

Give us a statement please!!! :lol:


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

Michael recorded We've Had Enough in 2004, i believe specifically for the ultimate collection.

Michael recorded We've Had Enough around 1999 with Carole Bayer Sager. It was the very first song she contributed to the Invincible sessions. Rodney Jerkins came in some time later to finish it up production-wise. As others have said, don't believe the Ultimate Collection booklet. It's majorly incorrect. I believe it even lists Unbreakable as having been recorded in 2002.

Recorded in 1999. First collaboration with Rodney Jerkins. MJ recorded nothing for TUC. Sony used songs from the vault.

Actually the first Rodney Jerkins collaboration (at least as far as Damien Shields has said) was You Rock My World.

Wow. Not gonna lie, usually I don't care for fan artwork, but you did it perfectly my friend. I particularly like the one with only the desert back drop -- feels like a bit of a reference to A Horse With No Name. It definitely works better with APWNN, but Slave to the Rhythm looks great as well.

Two thumbs up :D
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Announcement within 24 hours you think ?? - It's monday! :)
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I would give the announcement another week. or 2 at least 2 weeks from the time the Xperia Add was released. But I certainly won't complain if they do announce it tomorrow :) I'm getting so excited now


I think "A Place With No Name" will also do very well in the charts if its released as a single. I love that song and can listen to it over and over and never grow tired it.

Great art work.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Great work which fits the song! I always pictured APWNN shortfilm/cover with a "western" feel!

Glad you liked the Bang your head cover, Urvino :)

Monday is the day album's are released in England.. i don't think it'll be announced today.. qbee is right, i think we should give the announcement another week, as a rumor.. interest in the commercial may have died down by then so sony need to act pretty promptly

Impressive nice one

According to Rodney the first time he met Michael was in Carole Bayer Sager's house, he was invited there for a writing session, not to finish the production.

Hi guys! i'am a new member of this beautiful forum! sorry for my english, i'am italian.

speaking of songs for the next album, i noticed that Can't Get Your Weight Off Of Me seems absolutely the song "invincible" slowed. What do you think?
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

If STTR will be a single I think it's a possibility they will use the Billie Jean picture from the Xperia press conference for the cover- which would be quite lazy imo.
The picture itself is very stylish though, but only for "Billie Jean" or a calendar or something.

I don't want to see anything that's to do with the Thriller era for this album.

Where can I find that BJ picture you mentioned? I am curious.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I'll be surprised if we don't have at least something by the end of next week.
The estate are doing a very good job of teasing us at the minute, I guess its all part of the plan.
