MIST;3995621 said:POP Paul Anka , again ...
He is one of the songwriters .
And he seems to be a nasty moment in the unreleased material excavated after Michael Jackson's death .
The combination Jackson / Anka always feels like a bad joke on paper, but new single belongs among the finest that have so far been issued with the King of Pop since the funeral.
"Love never felt so good" was recorded originally in 1983 and has , like the other songs on the upcoming album " Xscape " , renovated and modernized under the supervision of executive producer Anthony " LA " Reid.
Bonus version with Justin Timberlake you can ignore . Thanks so much. Besides his name the only Timberlake bringsin is a bit of singing, a few groans , some sound and a "Michael ? " .
But the Timberlake - free original recording is a honey soft and neo- nostalgic reminder of how soul and disco sounded on the radio in late 70s and early 80s. A finger snapping melody bathed in a sea of ​​body temperate strings .
Unknown artists from the same era and the same sound tends to be very valuable for soulfanatics . Everything sounds as well, since the " Random access memories" with Daft Punk , unexpectedly very 2014.
It's like diamonds - the mixture of pop and soul and disco as Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones , and Nile Rodgers once invented doesn´t age
The single got 3 plus out of 5
Is anybody else just loving these reviews as I am? Man, I so wish MJ was here to see all this.
Can there be another thread for full album reviews?
Timbaland’s transformations are masterly. “Slave to the Rhythm,” about a woman enslaved by marriage and job, trades the demo’s mechanical beat for a jittery double-time barrage that ricochets against the vocal and makes Jackson’s percussive angst even more dramatic.
Timbaland discarded the original synthesizer bass line of “Do You Know Where Your Children Are” and came up with an odder, more arresting one that leaps way up and down. But he still couldn’t distance the song far enough from Jackson’s masterpiece “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.”

Five years ago this June, we mourned the loss of one of the greatest entertainers that this planet has ever seen. Michael Jackson‘s music dazzled our ears, his dancing blew our minds, and his passing undoubtedly affected us all. But we’re not going to dwell on the sad stuff now, because today is a joyous day, an historic day, and a reason to celebrate. Today we are thrilled to share an exclusive stream of a BRAND NEW MJ track, “Blue Gangsta,” available right now! Savor this moment, because you’re about to hear your new favorite song for the very first time, straight from the mouth of a certified musical genius. Go put on a single white glove, turn it up, get down, and rejoice. Long live the king!
“Blue Gangsta” is a song off of XSCAPE, a exciting new collection of never-before-heard Michael tunes that will be guaranteed to turn you into a dancing machine. Hand selected by industry legend L.A. Reid, these eight cuts from the vault have been given a modern shine by production wizards Timbaland, StarGate, and Jerome “J-Roc” Harmon, as well as guest spots from Mary J. Blige, Questlove, and D’Angelo. Last week we got a listen to the lead single “Love Never Felt So Good,” funked up with vocals from none other than Justin Timberlake. If the whole album sounds this good, we’re predicting the smash of the summer.
The record drops on May 13th, but today’s sneak peak will hopefully keep us satisfied until then. If you’re hungry for more, check out these incredible vintage interviews from Michael himself! If you’re still (Quincy) jonesin’ for another MJ fix, well then swing by tomorrow and we’ll see what we can do…
