Sorry if already posted. Searched and couldn't find it anywhere.

LOS ANGELES, March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Some of today's biggest recording artists and producers have joined together to celebrate the music of multi-Grammy winning producer, composer and arranger Quincy Jones by recording contemporary versions of popular recordings from his massive catalog for a new album from Interscope Records entitled Q: Soul Bossa Nostra. A "family celebration," Q: Soul Bossa Nostra will be released May/June, 2010.

[...]

Jones, who serves as Executive Producer for the album commented, "Q: Soul Bossa Nostra features some of my favorite artists and producers on the scene today from the Pop, R&B and Hip-Hop worlds performing selections from my catalog that people really loved when they were originally recorded. Each artist picked a song that really resonated with them for different reasons - some of them having a connection because they remembered their parents playing the track when they were growing up. I am honored that everyone wanted to be a part of this celebration of these songs. They all made them their own, and knocked them out of the park."

Jones continued, "Each of these songs had incredible artists and unique stories from when we originally recorded them. I think that these new interpretations will not only introduce these songs to a whole new generation of music fans, but inspire them to seek out the original recordings and show that these songs really stand the test of time…that's the ultimate mark of a great tune."

[...]

Additional tracks on Q: Soul Bossa Nostra will feature Jamie Foxx (produced by David Banner and Warryn Campbell) on the Grammy Award-winning classic "Give Me The Night," originally recorded in 1980 by Jones, George Benson and Rod Temperton; John Legend (produced by Ted Chung) on the Brothers Johnson/Siedah Garrett-penned ballad "Tomorrow," from Back On The Block; T-Pain and Robin Thicke (produced by T-Pain) on a re-make of Michael Jackson, James Ingram and Jones' Grammy nominated dance staple "P.Y.T." from Thriller.

It's about Quincy getting some cash and using new kids on the block to promote it
and instead of recording new songs, he uses old ones that were ment to be left alone....

Suppose it will never end if i'm being honest

Or you can look at it as a celebration of Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson legacy...Jeeze

Kanye was the main producer on that iirc, T-Pain is producing this one. :unsure: I wouldn't get my hopes up.
 
I guess Quincy didn't learn his lesson after the whole "We Are The World" remake. LOL!

And Robin Thicke must be out of his mind to work with the auto-tuned artist known as T-Pain. I mean, Robin can at least sing, why would he want to saddle his work with an auto-tuned artist.

These folks are grasping at straws and will end up being a laughing-stock, once again, for remaking a song that doesn't need remaking.
 
T Pain? Mr 'I am Autotune?' Urgh, please no. Thing is I actually really like the PYT remix that was on Thriller25 so why don't they include that instead?
 
oh my....PYT is one of those songs i never get sick of. i LOVE it!
puh-lese just leave it alone...
 
What you guys getting so upset about Quincy and his tribute album? He only had good things to say about MIchael in the past 15 years. OOHHH maybe not. Well he had good things to say about MJ right after he died. OOHHH maybe not. HMMM. Can someone say egg on their face now.
 
not going to buy it. i'd rather buy another Thriller album (even though I have three already)

lol, after reading your first sentence I was like: :scratch:..:mello:
 
I think itll be an interesting remake. T-Pain is actually a pretty talented producer, writer and arranger. Yes he uses autotune, but he knows how to use it to compliment his voice in a unique way as opposed to a Lil Wayne or Kanye West. The only thing about T-Pain producing it is that it may have a very generic sound. He tends to be either unique in his production or his production sounds like everything else.

With all that being said, it won't be as good as the orignal version but I don't think he'll make a bullshit tribute.

Seeing that Robin Thicke is a part of it could be good. In a perfect world, he would make an incredible version of the PYT demo with that falsetto of his.
 
I like T Pain, but this doesn't sound like a good idea to me. :(
 
T-Pain is gonna auto-tune this to death! I'll pass.

I suppose this is the best Quincy can do these days.
 
I wonder if Michae's estate approved this. Otherwise it can't happen without a lawsuit. Michael has the rights to all of his solo material from Of The Wall forward.
 
Quincy please :stop:

I refused to care or buy this album it hasn't been a year yet and every body is losing control of them selves P.Y.T doesn't need to be remake by T-pain he already sampled the song with Kayne west for his hit "good life" just let Michael at least get a year in. I don't mean to be rude if any body thinks i am but I am not I just feel these artist/producers are reaching hard when it comes to all these so called Michael Tributes Quincy committed suicide on we are the world remake witch was a international Failure Flop Please Quincy have a seat
 
I don't think it's that big of a deal. I doubt people are remaking MJ songs just because he's gone now. His music has been remade and sampled constantly throughout the past few decades. I would think he holds some type of record for being an artist with most songs sampled, period. There are just far less talented musicians doing it, but what can you do? It's the generation we live in now. Remember on Quincy's Juke Joint or whatever it was called, Brandy remade Rock With You (which I loved, because I loved Brandy too haha). Don't forget that Off the Wall/Thriller are probably Quincy's greatest achievements, career wise, so falling back on those albums is always going to be his way of staying relevant. If you get upset every time someone remakes/samples an MJ song, you're going to be in for a world of constant disappointment.
 
What the hell.
Leave Michael's music alone!!!


Seriously. It doesn't need remade, it's already amazing as it is. This is getting ridiculous...it hasn't even been a year yet and people are so money happy.
 
there was a time when i would have said..ooh ooh ooh..i'm looking forward to this!!!!

but after WATW 25, i gotta say...

...we'll see.

i don't trust Quincy as a producer, right now. this is a lesson in you are only as good as your last hit.(or, last release)

which is why i dispute those critics who put down MJ's latest works, because whether they say they love em or hate em...like someone said about a commercial that a fan made about 'the crazy ones' featuring MJ in a remake of an Apple computer commercial...

'you can't ignore them.'

but with Quincy..at this moment..i CAN ignore Mr. Jones.
