Xscape General Discussion

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

I can't stop listening to it... Literally listened to it on repeat at least 20 times already!

AND JUST THINK!!!!!

We get the original demo along with this!!

So f**king excited!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I LOVE the bass on Chicago!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

This didn't make the Michael album.

Let that process. Not this mix in particular, but this song, these vocals, this power, this intensity... was not released for three and a half years.

The Estate didn't know what they were doing in 2010.

This time around, I think they're being a bit more careful.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I still am confused about tracks "Chicago" and "Loving You" - Okay, so they're two separate songs but Chicago has lyrics ..."she was loving me..."

Anyone heard "Loving Me"?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I try not to listen till i get the album. But hearing descriptions of the sound would be fun :)

Imagine Mike singing with quacking ducks in the background.

Just kidding... but there is a sample used throughout the song that reminds me of a duck call. Heheh.

Indeed!

I am feeling so much right now. It is hard to find the wording however; I have to believe everything happens for a reason and this had to wait for L.A. Reid to take control, for Timbaland to take the helm. Imagine this being destroyed in others' hands. This is the right time; everything in alignment.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I soooooooo wish Timbaland could have done a version of Hollywood Tonight....

Soooooo bad do I wish that to be something that happened..

His productions are blowing me away like they never have before (and I'm a Tim fan!!)...
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I'm off to listen to the solo version of LNFSG and then follow it up with Chicago just to see how it'll flow on the album...

EDIT: I like it.. Flows well.. Seems like it'll setup the album nicely

Chicago's production has an icy chill to it. I'm picturing shimmering shades of blue.

I don't wanna think about what Teddy Riley could have made with this lol that man should be hanged for his work on HT (i'm sure MJ used to tell him don't touch anything if i'm not with you dude)
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

What the actual f*ck were those quacking ducks in the brackground? The keyboard was annoying and the drums repetitive, I can't to hear the original because Timbaland ruined Michael's vocals with the music.

Welcome back, King!

You'll be one of the few who believes that.

Yo, those are the dopest ducks I've ever heard.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

It's duck season in Chicago, ya'll.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Royal Ducks

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

Wow, I didn't even notice the quack-like sounds.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I'm also confused by the duck sounds. But I kind of like it as well.

Michael's voice is so cold, it's like he's screaming his heart out. This is the kind of Michael that I like to hear.

UPDATED LYRICS - COMPLETE


CHICAGO

I met her on my way to Chicago
Where she was all alone
And so was I
So I asked her for her name

She smiled and looked at me
I was surprised to see
That a woman like that
Was really into me

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(She was loving me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(She was wanting me)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(She was loving me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
Yeah

I never would've thought she was living like that
Her words seemed so sincere
When I held her near
She would tell me how she feels

If felt so real to me
This girl, she had to be
An angel sent from heaven just for me

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(She was loving me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(She was loving me)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(She was loving me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
Yeah

She tried to live a double life
Loving me while she was still your wife
(She was wanting me)
She thought that everything was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(She was loving me)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(She was wanting me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Because she had a family, family
Yeah

Why.. Ooh no
Alright
Ohh
(I'm in love, love)

I didn't know she was already spoken for
'Cause I'm not that kind of man
Swear that I would've never looked her way
Now I feel so much shame
And all things have to change
You should know that I'm holding her blame

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(Holding her to blame)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(Holding her to blame)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(Holding her to blame)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
(Holding her to blame)
Yeah

She tried to live a double life
Loving me while she was still your wife
(Holding her to blame)
She thought that everything was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(Holding her to blame)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(Holding her to blame)
She lied to you, lied to me
Because she had a family, family
Yeah

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(She was loving me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(She was loving me)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(She was loving me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
Yeah

She tried to live a double life
Loving me while she was still your wife
(She was wanting me)
She thought that everything was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(She was loving me)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(She was wanting me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Because she had a family, family
Yeah

Nothing to hate on the vocals, they're amazing but the music on the other hand... YUCK!

Enjoy your senseless quacking duck and annoying, piercing keyboard then.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

She said just to... ??????

"She said just give me your page" (as in pager number)...?

hope Timbaland didn't forget to include : "no animals were harmed in the making of this mix" on the booklet
