The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Babyface on Michael calling him upset.

The veteran songwriter recalled a time in 2006 when he got a call from Michael Jackson. "He rang me up out of the blue, I hadn't spoken to him in about five years so I was surprised to hear from him" he recalls. "I said 'Hey Mike, what's happening?', and he sounded pissed and said 'how could you not give The Loneliness to me?'".

Referring to the title song of Babyface's 2006 studio album, he continues "He told me 'I have been playing it all week, I can't stop listening to it. You should've given that one to me - I would've killed it, you know I would've'. And I said to him 'Mike, I wrote that song for you, with you in mind, but I couldn't get it to you, so I just put it out myself. But it was meant to be for you.' It was a nice validation though, because I really believed in that song, but radio wouldn't touch it and it didn't become a hit for me, so it was nice to hear that Michael loved it so much, because I really felt like it was a special song."

Ooh, MJ would’ve KILLED this.
 
For sure. This is 2006 so it makes me wonder if we would've even heard the song since there was no music coming out from him but if this would've been recorded years prior and made it to Invincible? One of those ballads would've been gone definitely
Yeah, would've easily replaced Privacy.
 
I remember when I first heard this from the earlier seminars. This would've been a cool interlude segueing into something like Who Is It

For me Invincible its lyrical ballad album, i love it but it's very soft album
 
Can he told us about it its played in seminars ?
I don’t think it’s ever been played in seminars. Very little known about it other than what Nisha Kataria (who sings on it) has shared.
 
Is it the only song to be leaked
I like the leaked piece, but didn't M.J. record more than just that line? If we just get an instrumental with vocals in one place, it won't be very cool.

PS I love any new leaks, but I'm just saying that I want to hear more than just an instrumental.
