The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

arisenow said:
Right now, there are roughly 30 songs with full vocals and multitracks available to rework. No one knows how many more songs are hidden away with collaborators. Those that have recently been partially leaked are not included.

30 in the estates possession and ownership? They really should release a new album after the biopic. Can you give us titles please.

I presume, since I could only count 19 named songs with full vocals that haven't been leaked ("Chicago 1945," "Get Your Weight Off Of Me"), tangled with issues with The Jacksons ("Buffalo Bill" and "Take My Time"), rights complications with the artists and labels some songs were given to ("Alright Now" and "You're The One"), or outside writers and producers known to have issues with the Estate ("Spice Of Life," "Pressure," "I'm Dreamin'"), the rest are likely unknown titles sourced from the Brian Malouf and/or Thriller sessions.

What is Take My Time? I’ve never heard that title before

Song that's registered into the Library of Congress. It's likely that it was never recorded since only song lyrics are available, but since we don't have access to the Sony vault (where a majority of the MJ-Jacksons tapes are located) we'll never know.

I can identify at least 20 possible candidates for what they are until he gets around to responding.

1. Goin' To Rio
2. Ode To Sorrow
3. Thank You For Life
4. You Ain't Gonna Change Nothin'
5. Under My Skin
6. She's Not A Girl
7. Gotta Find A Way Somehow
8. Why Can't It Be?
9. What You Do To Me
10. Tomboy
11. Bad Girl
12. A Way With Words (possibly)
13. Crack Kills
14. You Were There (Studio Version)
15. Joy
16. Michael McKellar
17. D.N.A.
18. You Are The One
19. The World Is No Church
20. I Have This Dream (Solo Version)

Interesting that it was registered at the beginning of 1985. I wonder what it was intended for…..I wouldn’t say Victory because we have no exact date of when the writing took place.

It seems so.

When did Reebie record this, do you know?

I recall hearing 81 a long time ago, but it's probably closer to early 84 when she decided on a solo career.

People here say D.N.A. doesn't have vocals. Apparently Apocalypse Now might though.

I haven't heard the full thing, but I recall being surprised at how coherent the vocals were in the sections I did hear.

I wonder if it’s caught up in rights issues with The Jacksons, assuming it was worked on for the album of the same name.

I still find it odd that Michael and his brothers kept the title Victory despite not including the title track
 
Did some digging and found that Somewhere In Time was recorded by Glennis Grace and released on her album Real Emotions in 1996.

However I noticed that the song is credited to Dane DeViller, Sean Hosein, and Steven Kipner:

...so it looks like this is not the Michael Jackson song. It seems Rebbie recorded a version of an identically titled song that didn't make the cut. 😂

To be honest, I find them quite boring. There are some nice vocals, but overall it's just average. They aren't even that special. Some people have them.

I like 2000’s Michael more than any other Michael cause his instrumentals he used were out of this world and not only that, he had the best songs released / leaked from the 1998-2009

That's good digging! Looks like this is now debunked

It's great to finally have some information about this legendary song.
Were you able to get any additional details from the person who played the track for you? Does it include full vocal tracks, for example?

Looks like someone here is referencing the lyrics. The YouTube meme upload has "Victory is in our hands" in the lyrics.

I'm guessing someone ran part of the lyrics through Suno/Udio or some other AI, changed the music but kept a few real elements in there, kinda like what happened with Rocker when it first started leaking.

The lyrics should give you a hint about one of them.

I have three possibilities as to what song this may belong to.

Lonely Man
Got To Find A Way Somehow
Why Can't I Be?

Are you sure this is related to "our" Michael?
