The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Saka21 said:
They posted "Call It Off" but then deleted the video, at least according to what people are saying in the community tab

They also liked a comment from someone asking for "Monster"

Yeah there's a few people on there saying that they keep uploading and deleting stuff.

Holy grail? I thought it kinda sucked. But to each their own. It would be cool to finally have all 3 tracks though.

Yeah, I was underwhelmed. It’s okay like but….

What are all the snippets that you shared in your gc? Clearly it's only a matter of time until they get out so might as well come forward lol

The TYLA Snippets, the Adore You snippets and the DMTM snippet. I was gonna leaked them all on Michael's Birthday but the circumstances prevented that.

I know for a fact there's a certain circle of people who have access to songs that the rest of us on this forum consider super obscure holy grails. So I'm wondering, are all these snippets coming from them?

With how many songs are going around, it feels like it's only a matter of time before they end up in the hands of some kids and leak in full, maybe not too far off. That's assuming they're all real, of course

Drop the names

Edit: checked the DMTM snippet.
Sounds legit!! Love it..

I do think the one snippet where MJ sings the title is fake. You can hear the artifacts, like they threw the Drake version vocal over the filtered instrumental. The rest is definitely legit though, as far as I’m able to tell.

Very interesting that this is the only one of their songs with any instrumentation other than piano.
 
What I love about this demo is that it's just simple. There isn't anything groundbreaking about it and yet it sounds so joyful, breezy and the piano melody is so, so catchy. It's a cool earworm and nothing more. I missed hearing these kinds of songs from Michael, seems that a lot of what he wrote in his later years (at least as far as we've heard lately) are dark or have serious themes to them so it's nice to have something that contrasts those for a change and is closer to the lighter, carefree songs that Michael put out in his earlier eras. This song also gives me "Free" vibes, in a way.

It's honestly no wonder that the Paul Anka sessions are one of the rare few posthumous releases to have been hits. I like to imagine Michael's surprise if he knew that those songs, which prior to his death had been left forgotten for 30 years would go on to become hits.
 
[Paul Anka]
Things I know are true
I find it hard believing in you, you know it

You tell me things, I know you lie
I see the truth, the alibi you show it (?)

[Michael Jackson]
You say you don't want me no more
I'm feeling fine, I'm leaving you this time

[Chorus]
It don't matter to me...
It don't matter to me, what you say
 
The original demo is titled "It Don't Matter To Me". Michael's listed as sole vocalist; there's no registration of IDMTM with Paul Anka vocals.

This was a rework done in 2014 for Anka's "Duet" album. The original '80 demo is still out there unheard.

Oh, interesting! Thank you for the clarification!

Listening back, I can hear some light artifacts across MJ’s entire vocal track. Maybe Anka tried stem separation and it just didn’t do the trick.

that one was posted several months ago before this longer one came out, listening closely it sounds like a different take than the drake vocal. also paul's voice in the background

Michael took the tapes of the recordings and re-recorded them himself
 
I’m probably being 100% paranoid, but i definitely feel like there are more songs being kept extra hidden by the collectors in these groups. Like what are the chances that someone has Call It Off and Don’t Matter to Me all of a sudden?
