12 completed & unreleased songs of Michael's were found in a storage unit.

[IhateTheMedia]

A trove of unreleased Michael Jackson tapes were found in a storage unit deep in the San Fernando Valley. Musgrove’s journey to the tapes began when an associate contacted him about a storage unit he’d recently bought in Van Nuys. The unit once belonged to Bryan Loren, a music producer and singer (whose current whereabouts are unknown, according to Musgrove).

Work That Body has other versión
A Pretty Face Is, All Truth You Need have just MJ on chorus
Supposedly Don't Believe It, 7 Digits and Truth on Youth are complete?

 

[AlwaysThere]

Important to note that these songs are almost certainly not complete. We know that “Seven Digits” is scratch vocals, so this seems to be some degree of hyperbole on the part of the man who located them. I would assume “complete” more so means “has vocals all the way through,” even if said vocals are mumbled.

 

[Ganesh]

I remember Pressure was one of those titles mentioned way back in the late 90s, along with Triple Threat Cable, being worked on for Invincible.

Collection of unreleased Marvin Gaye songs found in Belgium

Questions surround ownership of demo tapes reportedly left by soul artist as a thank-you to his Ostend hosts

www.theguardian.com

"A collection of cassette tapes containing a host of unreleased Marvin Gaye songs has been found in the Belgian city of Ostend.

It has potentially lain hidden in Belgium for over 40 years, according to the BBC.

The collection, thought to contain 66 demo songs, belonged to the musician Charles Dumolin, in whose home Gaye stayed in 1981 as he underwent detox to fight cocaine addiction. When Dumolin died in 2019, the recordings were handed down to his family, along with a cache of Gaye memorabilia.

Debate has begun over whether Dumolin’s family have the right to keep the material."

The writing doesn't look fake to me.

 

[analogue]

It's convenient that enough songs were found to make a full album. Maybe a little TOO convenient.

After the whole Cascio debarcle I'll always be a little suspicious of any new songs that's magically discovored.

I was going to say Pressure too.. just forgot the title. Can't recall the second title there but who knows how this one will pan out.

Yes, that was my first thought as well

This makes me wanna rummage our ancient basement lol. Who knows?

 

[kai]

maybe the Cascios helped to finish the songs? xD

If so, they would have already destroyed all old storage media.

 

[kai]

true. because MJ told them to do so.

 

[Spaceship]

So just crappy demos he did with Bryan Loren, some of which have already leaked.

I don't agree. Some of them are more interesting than what has ended up on Invincible.

 

[Piek]

The Estate not claiming or buying these tapes, might simply mean they already own these recordings. These tapes were just Bryan Loren's copies ... not originals or Michael's copies.

 

[Saka21]

They know the tracks, they are simply not interested, and Loren has had a very difficult relationship with the Estate in past years.

 

[Fuzball]

That's not the case, I bet. These tapes were just some reference copies. As already mentioned by othets, the estate has all mutlitrack tapes & 2track reels.

Loren catching more strays

Is it Shana?

 

[MJbr2]

Is it Shana?

No. A random guy who had the luck of buying Loren's storage unit after the latter forgot to pay for the rent.

I like Bryan's work tbh. I think 'Do The Bartman' tainted his sound to 'goofy' instead of funky but I think Michael would have sounded great on these songs, it's definitely the Minneapolis and R'n'B sound it is said he was looking for:

BTW: 'Ain't that what chu want' is basically Man in Black vs. Streetwalker

IMO, he just comes across as a weaker version of Jam & Lewis.
