Xscape General Discussion

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

STTR, and Chicago 1945 definitely, perhaps APWNN but what do you base the rest on?


Blue Gangsta based on Dr Freeze being/likely on board the new album from the Damien Shields article

That still leaves the DiG and PotW ?? - I doubt they will be on the album!

I sure do NOT hope DiG (in the state that just leaked) is released! - Terrible state! - Vocals are not even 50 % complete. - No strength and MJ is mumbling a lot. NOT in a releasing state!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I like DIG, especially the ending.

"Hold my like you really used to,
Summers in Gloucestershire"
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Definitely not. There is an entire verse missing and you can tell that Michael is only singing at half strength. Completely disregarding the argument of releasing songs as Michael left them, that applies only for songs that are finished/near finished. DIG still has a long ways to go.

I would love for this to be released, just not on a studio album. Maybe on a TUC-type box set.

I agree. - I do not really like the song much, but maybe it's because of the state it is in. Not even close to be finished. - Very early demo stage IMO.

If they make some kind of finished version song to release using these vocals - I think it is save to say that there are not very many songs in the vault!! - Would be terrible actually! So I really do not hope to see this song on the album!!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Slave to the rhythm - Blue Gangsta - A place with no name - Days in Gloucestershire - Chicago 1945 - People of the world seems to be on the new album.


STTR and Chicago seems pretty sure.

I would love BG and APWNN to be on the album.

I hope DiG is NOT on the album. - Unless they have some kind of finished version MJ did.

I have not heard very much of PotW (no one has) so that might be intresting if it is in a finished version. - I really hope MJ finished that song! - If not I hope they do not release it!
 
Re: The Estate of Michael Jackson enters partnership with Sony Mobile

I'd highly doubt they'd release it as is.. they wudnt be getting all these mainstream producer to work on the album to release tracks thats are clearly demos.. unfinished

I sure hope you are right! - If they release DiG the vault must be very empty.

I hope there are better and more finished songs to be released.

DiG might not be a weak song - but the demo version that just leaked is VERY weak and vocals very bad!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

at least when it leak, we have the rough demo and not the heavy edited one...
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Im hoping for as many recent tracks as possible. Some drums/beats like on history/botdf would be nice for uptempo tracks, but unlikely. I think updated Bryan Loren tracks could also work. I think we will get wmcig solo version.

WMCIG solo version (if there are finished vocals like the We are the world on TUC) would be GREAT !!



Truely a great cover !!!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

The ONLY SONGS that are confirmed to be on the album are Blue Gangsta and A Place With No Name. Chicago has a slight chance considering Timbaland spoke of it in public.

Days in Gloucestershire + People of the World will not be released, as they are both majorly incomplete.

NOTHING ELSE IS CONFIRMED.

Blue Gangsta has not been 100 % confirmed has it? - Source? - I really hope it is released!! :)
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Dr. Freeze confirmed it in that old interview from 2011 and again in the new Damien Shield article.

I disagree. In my opinion The ONLY SONGS that are confirmed are Chicago & Slave To The Rhythm. Blue Gangsta and A Place With No Name have a slight chance considering Dr. Freeze spoke of it to Damien Shields.

Days in Gloucestershire + People of the World may be released. No one knows for sure.

''Q: How do you know if "A Place With No Name" and "Blue Gangsta" will be on the next album?

F: That I know. This is confirmed.

Q: Great, we look forward to that! Do you intend to edit the song "Blue Gangsta", like a fresh remake?

F: Actually, I've already done so for "Blue Gangsta". I've updated it a bit, the song is completed, ready to go. It will be completely different from the version leaked on the net. It is perfectly calibrated to enter a nightclub. It sounds very European in style productions Kraftwerk.

Q: Will you keep the base of the song?[Quagmire he sings an excerpt]

F: Absolutely everything is the same, but it sounds more current.

Q: You've stepped up the pace?

F: No, no. Everything is exactly the same.

Q: [Confused] Okay. So to summarize, you've just added a few extra sounds and made some alterations to the "sound"?

F: Exactly. To make an analogy, it's like if you had shot a movie and then you take it out in 3D.''

“I’m not on the album; just my songs,” explained Freeze, whose unreleased tracks “A Place With No Name” and “Blue Gangsta”, originally recorded by the King of Pop in 1998, will be freshly remixed by new producers for the album.

“Both old and new versions of both songs are on the album to satisfy both sides of the fans,” Freeze revealed.''

Only confirmed is Chicago and STTR. Simply because the only official word we have is on that by Timbaland.

Dr. Freeze is so far not an official word. As soon as we know he has something to do with the album, then it's pretty much confirmed apwnn and bg will appear.

DIG and POTW are not appearing on the album, too incomplete if they want a "proper" album with songs like STTR on.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Chicago is not confirmed. If you go back and watch the Timbaland interview, he says that he WANTS Chicago to be the lead single. That in no way confirms that it's appearing on the album, but rather showcases Timbaland's opinion on the songs he's been given by the Estate.

Slave to the Rhythm is obviously confirmed to be included.

Exactly, first he said that his new mix will be released, then he changed it to: “I’m not on the album; just my songs,”.. songs "will be freshly remixed by new producers for the album." - Maybe Timbaland.

Plans changed and maybe they change their plans again, so nothing is confirmed regarding Dr. Freeze and his songs.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

We don't need to get too technical here about what is confimed, and why so and so is not a confirmed source etc.. the fact is if we want to get technical with it nothing has been confirmed, and until the album is set for release - that could be scratched... Nothing is 100% confirmed!!

They are not too far in the process to pull out... They wont though, there's no reason.. lol

From my perspective they could have lets just say 4 producers work onh 5 songs each getting 20 tracks, and then they select from there.. Meaning even the tracks Timbaland mentioned could simply not be chosen..

My guess though is that the tracks Freeze and Timbo mentioned will be on it with other songs...
 
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.

The estate should have done this with Men In black a few years back when Men In Black 3 was released

This just gives you a insight to how incomplete MJ's material is. The MJ estate only have so much to work with.

Let me get this straight. Songs like Blue gangster, Best Of Joy, Place with no name, Hollywood tonight, Another Day gets leaked/released, and then one, (two, IAAL),incomplete song like DIG leaks and it's an insight how incomplete MJ material is? Maybe, just maybe it's just that these particular songs are incomplete because they are, hmm what's the word i'm looking for, rough raw demos?
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

People of the World definitely won't be featured. That's a promise.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Why? I want so bad to hear this song

It's majorly incomplete. From what I've been told, Michael hums through much of the verses and barely gives any vocal power. I can promise it won't be released on any proper studio album.

It will be leaking at some point, so you WILL hear it :)
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

The raw incomplete demos could be released on a separate "bonus" demo disc. If they decide to include that, with the release but not on the main album
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I told you a week ago that Days In Gloucestershire was close to leaking. Anyways, you can probably expect People Of The World and the Hollywood Tonight demo within the next six to twelve weeks. This is a interesting time for MJ fans.
