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

I think we will get something very soon too.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Listened to 'We've Had Enough' for the first time in a while earlier.. and i gotta say, it's a masterpiece.. that song is stunning. Michael's vocals, the meaning.. the instrumental.. perfect.

I agree very much! - With all the things going on with Russia threathening the peace in europe with entering Ukraine I have been hearing it a lot the last couple of days!!

Michael would NO doubt have made a new anti war song for an album if it was released now!! - So I think the album needs a song like that!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I don't think We've Had Enough should be included on the album. It is a phenomenal song from beginning to end, but it's already been released. Leaked songs I can understand to an extent, as well as released songs that Michael wanted to rework (The Way You Love Me, Cheater) but songs that were released and weren't touched again afterwards shouldn't be re-released on a studio album.

There are still some songs in the vault about war/the environment/social issues that could be released. If the Estate could get a hold of He Who Makes the Sky Gray, it would be a great inclusion.

You got me inspired there Urvino :) Here is a quick one I just did of Chicago (work in progress). Hope you guys like it:
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

hopefully the estate comes up with such good ideas.
nice work, i'd love to see a cover with a photo after ~1998.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Some incredibly talented people on here. Estate will have to go some to beat this artwork.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Look at what Coldplay did:


Their new album doesn't release until 19th of May! Yet they put out this cool song (which is very addicting I might add) on youtube, with the info.

This is what they should do right now with STTR. If not right now, do another kind of promo, then do it.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

^ Maybe u should check more of Sony/Epic signed artists and their way of promotion. By the way - When did Coldplay announce this new album?
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Mid Feb I think
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

MJ's hot right now - they gotta do this soon or it'll die out.. Come on someone announce something!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I wouldn't say MJ is hot right now!! a little more buzz than usual, yeah!! it's building.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Would you guys be open to the idea of them releasing a "Lyric Video" togehter with the song?

This one is really creative

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

Nah, I think they are pretty boring, uninspiring and dull.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

^^How about if they get creative with it? Think like, MJ in the studio recording STTR and when he sings the words they pop out on the screen (Or side of the screen adjacent to MJ) ala "Lyric Video" ?
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I've always loved lyric videos, so long as they're done interestingly. I love the idea with Suit & Tie; incorporate real video footage of JT.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I honestly don't care about any type of video they release for the singles on the album.. I mean, Michael sadly isn't here to be in them. Unless it was studio footage or something like that, then i'm not really all that interested. If they released studio footage, now that is a completely different story.

I'm just ready for the album..

and now with The Jacksons posting pro shot footage of the Victory Tour on youtube, i'm hoping some sort of concert dvd is in the works... The Triumph Tour and The Victory Tour desperately deserve to be released.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I've been patient..... I've evenbpreached about it but my excitement level is just getting to me.. I want to hear aomething so freaking bad
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

How do fans feel about having Do You Know Where Your Children Are in the new album ? I think they should put that in but maybe change the title ?
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

i would actually prefer a lyric video to something like behind the mask. maybe a motion montage of photo's when Michael was recording in the studio? Perhaps some glimpses of footage from the Invincible sessions? Fred Jerkins III said they do have video pieces.. they could upscale it to 1080p & remove as many pixels as possible like they did for the Bucharest footage in Hold My Hand...
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

The Estate also could promote a song by making it the soundtrack of a upcoming cinema block-buster. A Place With No Name is in my opinion very cinematic.

Absolutely. The best unreleased leaked song by far. I would love to have it but they should not change the title!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I played a bit with the cover I recently made, so here is version 2 of chicago. Hope it helps building some excitement for the album :)

I would love it cause I think that it's Michael's best unreleased song, but unfortunately the title of the song will open itself up to tons of childish jokes from the media and general public. So I can't see it being released anytime soon

Definitely not. As adverse as fans seem to be against media and the tabloids, putting that song on the album is just screaming for negativity. And that's the LAST thing a new Michael Jackson album needs, especially considering the last one.

Even if the title was changed to 12 O'Clock, the song itself will incite too many jokes. They can include it on Dangerous 25, or whenever the next album comes out. Pass it over for now.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

As much as i love the song, i'm with you AlwaysThere.

For the sake of avoiding any negativity (from fans, non fans, public & esp. the horrible media) they should leave it off the new album this time.

This album should be, what sony/estate are hopefully aiming for: A perfect release with no If's & but's.
A perfect collection of about ten MJ tracks, no scandal, no negativity.
And for the sake of MJ world peace maybe they will give us also the untouched versions of the ten songs.

Im my opinion it would be smart release.. First off it is a great song from a sound perspective and it brings awareness like in true MJ fasion.. Not only that yes it would get SOME attention because of the content... That will bring attention to the new album, and the song!! People will like it.. Michael has had a lot more controversial topics in songs released.

Michael is viewed differently after his passing than he was in life.. a topic like DYKWYCA would be viewed differently as well.. and the title is perfect to me!! It would bring attention...

I don't think anyone should be afraid of what people would think about the topic, when MJ has already said in interviews much more damaging (honest) things about children bluntly stating things.. Haters will hate, but haters will give advertisement...
