Shout is like the next level of TDCAU; it's faster, more aggressive, and addresses social issues. YAML, to me, is just another tired love song.

Please tell me you're joking. Are you seriously comparing the masterpiece that is TDCAU to Shout? Michael wrote TDCAU, and the vocals are stunning. It’s a perfect song. Shout wasn't even written by Michael, right? Someone else is singing the chorus, and Michael only does three verses. Plus, the song sounds incredibly cheap. I’m not saying it’s bad - it’s catchy and grabs your attention, but calling it "the next level of TDCAU" is a stretch
 
Shout sounds unfinished and the vocals are barely understandable, but the song addresses important social issues, just like TDCAU.
This mix has better sounding vocals and a slightly less drowning instrumental compared to the original song, which had many issues with the mixing.

By "next level" I didn't mean that Shout is better than TDCAU, just faster.

Carmen Lampson is female singer??

I tried to find the name of the singer who’s performing with Michael on this track, but this is the only name I found... Is there a female vocal in this song too? I’m confused. I thought Teddy Riley did the chorus part... just like in 2000 Watts

The version you sent is even worse. They made the vocals slightly clearer, but now there’s some weird noise layered over them... Can’t you hear it? This noise isn't in the original.

This song is impossible to improve. The problem is with the vocals themselves. Michael speaks too fast and mumbles half the words, so the vocals just sound like an incoherent stream of words.

Still, I really like the line: "The clock is tickin', the end is comin', there'll be no warnin'"
 
Listened to Shout this morning and can say that I'm not really fond of it. I just lose interest halfway through the song. I did notice that the rapping reminds me of his verses in Jam.
