If you look at it more detailed, we are getting 9 Unreleased tracks. Same as Thriller!

I would love 6-7 minutes long songs. Like 20/20 Experience had. I love that. Just music and MJ ad-libbing. Also that way 8 tracks would seem longer.

Thriller had 9, Victory had 8. Both great albums.

What's 20/20 Experience?

"We're honored that Michael Jackson chose to record it and we're impressed with the quality of the track. We're also hoping it will be released soon so that music listeners around the world can hear the whole song and once again experience the incomparable brilliance of Michael Jackson," Bunnell and Beckley said in the statement. "Michael Jackson really did it justice and we truly hope his fans — and our fans — get to hear it in its entirety. It's really poignant."

The stupid Wade case is in june right. - Then maybe in July Michael will be found not guilty - and THEN DYKWYCA should be released as a single!! :)

Yesss! :)
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Clear proof that Roger Friedman is the biggest moron in this world and that he is not a journalist. Clear proof that he is tone deaf. He posted some fake She Was Loving Me on his page thinking that that is Michael Jackson. Same happened with Cascio-Malachi songs when he said that Michael's vocals sound incredible!


Yeah, he also said the Michael album was better than Invincible. :doh:
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

More info please !! :) :)
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Wait... What? Chicago and She was loving me are the same song? And we're still not going to get Men in black. And only 8 songs overall is a downer. Otherwise the track listing is good.

And whats with the title Xscape? Unless Michael himself used it, I think it should have just been Escape. Michael doesn't misspell except maybe once with 2 Bad, but this one seems unnecessary. Or maybe they could have kept it X-cape and made Michael wear a cape with an X on it for the cover LOL.

So I asked my wife what she thought about it and this is what she said

"His ex escaped"

Of course. I think they will be releasing the last versions MJ worked on, not the demos. And only Love Never Felt So Good is in Demo form. All other songs mentioned are almost finished recordings.

God.. Roger is such a vindictive idiot.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

A song on Michael Jackson's new album is believed to be about the devastation of child sex abuse allegations.



A song on Michael Jackson's new album is believed to be about his struggle to overcome child sex abuse allegations.
The track - 'Do You Know Where Your Children Are?' - is among eight new songs which will feature on the late King of Pop's new record - 'XSCAPE' - which is out in May.
The lyrics tell the story of a 12-year-old girl, who has been abused by her stepfather and ends up working as a prostitute.
Michael sings: ''She wrote that she is tired of step-daddy using her/Saying that he'll buy her things, while sexually abusing her.''
It also includes the phrase: ''Save me from this living hell'', which is repeated a number of times during the song.
The track is believed to have been written after Michael was found not guilty of sex offences against young boys in 2005.
It will feature on the record, which is the second to be released since Michael's death in 2009 of acute Propofol intoxication, and has been worked on by Epic Records chairman L.A Reid and producer Timbaland.
Reid said: ''We are extremely proud and honoured to present this music to the world.''
Meanwhile, in 2013, dancer Wade Robson, who testified to defend the 'Thriller' singer when he was accused of molestation, claimed he was abused by the star. A hearing will take place in June.


Contactmusic

there it is ^^
idiots!
they releasing a new album in peace. and they of course starting with these weird molestation claims. thats the media.:crazy
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Friedman is an irrelevant fool, who thinks he has more clout than he actually does. Which is none.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

No tabloid can take away my exitement!! DYKWYCA will be a smash hit I hope!! - And from the early reviews it sounds like it really is a stand-out song!

Michael Jackson will once again be on top of the charts !!! :)
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Exactly. They will accomplish nothing with faking the title. The song is called DYKWYCA and should be released with that title.

exactly. cause if they rename the title, you can be sure, 100.000% the media says they want to HIDE something.

'Xscape' Project Credits:
Art Direction & Design - Mat Maitland
Imagery - Mat Maitland


''Big Active Creative Director and lifelong MJ fan, Mat Maitland, has created the cover for the new Michael Jackson album ‘Xscape’. Mat explains, “I really wanted to create an image of Michael that felt current, like a brand new album, rather than something that felt retrospective and it was important to me to evoke his magic and otherworldly presence.''​

MJ fan... so then its a fact its a real fanmade cover. looks like this.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I couldn't have imagined such a buzz from the media over this album - after 'Michael' - so a big 'well done so far' to all involved, from me.

My only worry is the timing of the Wade (spit) case nonsense. :(:(

That case is so far out - no one will take it serious! - And Wade will lose big time. - He has no case really!

I hope the music will speak for itself - perfect music can never be ignored - Michael Jackson is living proof of that. - They tried to take him down already in 1993, but HIStory had huge hits (and had it not been an expensive double-album it had sold even better!) BOTDF had great succes as a remix album. (best selling remix album ever I believe!!) HIStory tour broke records!

AND in 2009 - after yet another attempt to get MJ down with the trial in 2005 an everything - MJ sold out 50 concerts in ONE CITY !! - AND - rumours have it he could have sold out as many as 300 concerts !!!!

- SO my point is!! Even though they try to get MJ down - the talent and the genius will always win! - People want a glimpse of the magic that is Michael Jackson !!

You ain't seen nothing yet .....
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Thank god ..no.

That may explain why Roger Friedman is butt hurt.

He couldn't care less if Bruce is involved or not. He just care if his friends James Porte and Cascio brothers are involved because they were paying him big money.

Not sure if you're trying to sound negative or not, but the guy is a professional artist who happens to also be a fan. He has done many pieces for both the fashion and the music industry, including the cover for Prince's latest single FALLINLOVE2NITE. I personally like his style.

You don't have to like the cover of course, but there's no need to disrespect the artist.
