Xscape General Discussion

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

This is great great news!!! At least we have a timeframe to look foward to, and idea of the direction this is going... And now we have a better idea of who's envolved maybe we can squeez out some more info from those particular people.. woohooo!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

This is awesome! Always great to hear some more info, and it's awesome that they are including the demos and remixes.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

They will release max 10-12 songs (20-24) if you are counting the original versions and demos. So don't hope for 14-15 or 16 track album. That is impossible and unrealistic.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

my ideal tracklisting for this release:

1. Chicago (Original/New Version)
2. Blue Gangsta (Original/New Version)
3. She Was Lovin' Me (Original/New Version)
4. A Place With No Name (Original/New Version)
5. Be Me 4 A Day/or Get Around (Original/New Version)
6. I Was The Loser (Original/New Version)
7. Slave To The Rhythm (Original 1989 Demo/New Version)
8. Kick It/or Stop Throwin' Your Life Away (Original/New Version)
9. Do You Know Where Your Children Are (Original/New Version)
10. Can't Get Your Weight Off Me (Original/New Version)
11. Xscape (Original/New Version)
Hopeful - Bonus Track(s):
12. Hollywood (Demo)/Or What More Can I Give (Solo Demo)- included as a B-Side in any official single Release (on CD & LP)

i think 16 is too many maybe 12-14 at the most i think, they're answering fans wishes as qbee said. there's nothing for us to complain about! and i hope the first single will be 'chicago' released around january with the remix as a b-side and radio play!

To clarify - when I said 16, I meant 8 original tracks and 8 remixes. You think maybe less?
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

no stupid itunes only bonus track. don't encourage them.

8 original and 8 remixes? we'll get more than that, they won't just put 8 tracks on one album -_- thriller had 9.. WHAT? :p well, it's your opinion of course. :/
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

The way I read the news (correct me if you see holes in what I am saying) but when they used the term remix I more took it as.. There will be tracks that will be more so left alone, and others that will be updated/remixed to have a more current sound.. I don't think they are planning on putting lets say the same track twice one as is and one remixed.. Get what Im saying? thats how I read it anyway

I don't know, I see them really trying to get as much out of these releases as they can without giving too much away. We'll see.

I think most of us are going off of this quote:

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

But what you said is entirely possible.

It's not correct to call those new mixes remixes. It will be new mixes, new production (like Michael album was). The best name would be New Versions or 2013 Versions.

Along with these new mixes they will release Original Version or Demo Version of the song. So you'll get 1 song twice (2 different versions of one song - original Michael's vision and for example Timbaland's vision of the same song). For the fans and for the general public.
 
Re read the post, what I picked up>..

A Place With No Name (remixed/ and non remixed)</SPAN>
Blue Gangsta (remixed / non remixed)
</SPAN>
Chicago (remixed)
</SPAN>
Slave to The Rhythm (remixed)
</SPAN>
Do You Know Where Your Children Are (remixed)
</SPAN>

Considered:
</SPAN>
I Was The Loser
</SPAN>
Escape
</SPAN>
She Was Lovin’ Me
</SPAN>
Can’t Get Your Weight Off Of Me

I don't think we will get original and remix for all but, maybe the ones that have been leaked and fans KNOW how it really sounds they will give is the original too.. Than the remixed songs that we can't say "it doesnt sound like MJ's version" They will release remixed..

Of course remix does not have to mean fully ultered, remixed could mean updated, retouched, or what we normily think of 'remix'..
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Damien doesn't know exactly what tracks are being considered though. That is the only part of his post that isn't true.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

it wasn't written clearly if all song's were going to be included twice, when freeze only said ''you'll get both my song's twice'' that may not mean all tracks, although i hope it does. we can't know for sure until we have the tracklisting.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I'm so Excited :) that we are getting 2 discs one consisting updated and another consisting original versions..oh god atlast we are going to hear new songs since the last Michael album

They put the demos together. Then gave them to the estate. The estate gave them to timbaland to finalize. This is good news. I think what freeze knows is minimum. I will wait to hear from the estate or Tim again. I still hold out hope for Xmas release.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Is it weird to say I don't know who Dr. Freeze is ? I know Timbaland but the others I don't know them.

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

Dr. Freeze produced Break of Dawn, Blue Gangsta and A Place with No Name with Michael.
 
There is no confirmations all songs will be then and now. but at this time the theme appears to be then and now so we can be hopeful.

Many fans had speculated that the new album, like 2010&#8242;s controversial ‘Michael’ album, would be rushed out to capitalise on holiday season sales during the 2013 Christmas period.


However, timing doesn’t appear to be the focus with this project. Instead, the focus is on delivering a quality product that all sectors of the Michael Jackson fan community can enjoy and appreciate in one way or another.

The label recognises that delivering a product which will satisfy the appetite and taste buds of Jackson’s entire fan base is likely an impossible task. So, in an effort to at least partially please most of the fans, they’re taking a much different approach; an approach most fans would have liked to have seen taken back in 2010 with the ‘Michael’ album.

The new album, at this stage, will go with a “then and now” / “past and present” type theme, featuring both new remixes and original versions of unreleased Michael Jackson recordings.

“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.


“Which producers are remixing your songs for the album?” I asked.


“Not sure yet. It’s still up in the air right now,” he responded.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Dr. Freeze has a great ear for melody, I'd actually like to see him sit in these mixing sessions.. But I guess I can't ask for too much!! This album is going to be HOTT!! I think I'm going to make sure I don't listen to any of the leaked tracks at least from Jan-March/April whenever it is released..

Get me craving the songs like I havent heard them in a while!! every song mentioned are songs I'd begg to put on... Im so excited!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Very exciting! I'm also glad it's not on the Christmas market. So many albums are coming out for Christmas, you really need strong promotion for people to take note. So I think it's better to be released during a less busy time of the year when it can get more attention and focus.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I just wait to hear Michael's beautiful voice again, it is a true delight:)
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I think Spring is a perfect time for this release! possibly around the same time as 'The Last PhotoShoots'? extremely excited! and I'm glad 'A Place With No Name' is still confirmed for the track listing! thing's are definitely getting better and it's great that The Estate are starting to take time on projects instead of throwing them out there! hope for success for them. will be wonderful for sure.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

I had a feeling it wouldn't be released until next year. Glad the Estate is starting to learn from their mistakes. :)
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Thanks all for your help on Dr. Freeze. Christmas is a busy time and I think it would be better after that. I will not listen to any leaks or anything this time around. I want to hear it when I get it like you used to.
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

we only know of one song that will be from the leaked collection. Damien's list was just a wishing game. We Can't know, but I'll be happy with the Song's we do get! 'She Was Lovin' Me' would
be interesting to hear! I'm gonna do my part towards making this a success for sure, kudo's to McClain. He seems to always come up with the goods, Branca was who worked on 'Michael' mostly I believe? and as the other's, I won't be listening to any leaked Song's until we see what's on this Album. Hope we soon get an official press release soon :)
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

Break of Dawn and Blue Gangsta are two of my fav's, the vocals are out of this world! If there is more on the new album like those i will totally freak out!! THis is all such good news I cant wait til spring!
 
Re: News and discussion about upcoming MJ album [Update Pg15]

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

hopefully they dont recycle songs.
i dont want to have "we've had enough" on a "new" album or something like "the way you love me" on Michael. both are good songs but unheard new songs would be much better!
