Re: Michael Prince & Brad Buxer - Secret Project (maybe MJ related)
May/June release would be a dream. IDK but summer time music just makes sense in this case. Music makes memories and so does summertime. Give us a new single in May and album in June. I just want 1 great dance track. I think they could attract the younger generation with a great new dance track, with a hard hitting baseline. They must have at least one. we are talking about Michael freakin Jackson after all!!! The King. Getting a little ahead of myself eh? Can't hurt to dream!
I'm sure there's gonna be a few good dance tracks out there. Assuming he and the Estate made some kind of agreement, I'm sure RedOne is the number one choice for quality club ready material. (Although considering that he only has four songs complete enough for release, we can't really expect any more than one song, if any.) Rodney Jerkins is the second good choice.

Don't mean to stray off topic, but I have a few questions for anyone who may know. I haven't talked to my source in some time and I need to ask this soon. This information will be compiled into a PDF file describing all known unreleased songs (in the same sense of Joe Vogel's Man in the Music, only focused on unheard stuff) that should be released for free by the end of spring.
a) Shut Up and Dance was worked on primarily with Michael Durham Prince and Eric Kirkland in 1999. The US Copyright Office registration holds the exact same names. There are two other songs registered with the US Copyright Office with both names present: Beatbox 2010 and I Love You More. Now, logically, wouldn't this make both songs Invincible-era outtakes? And can anyone comment on how complete they are? And how complete are either song? (I'm fully aware that SUAD can not be released as a full song.)
b) About how many songs recorded from 2002-2009 are even remotely complete enough for release? Can any titles be verified? I remember Stella identifying Rocker as sounding like Queen's We Will Rock You, which is a great little tidbit to know. But what about songs like Changes and Silent Spring and Ghost of Another Lover? (Assuming the latter is from the above era.)
c) A video file named If You Got It, Bring It was registered. From what I've been told, this is studio footage from an undetermined period of time. Can anyone verify?
d) What is Michael's most profitable era in terms of releasable unreleased material? Based on what I've compiled, my guess would go to the Invincible era (1998-2003) which has 49 titles.
e) As a prerequisite for the PDF file, I went through around a dozen websites and fan boards, writing down any unreleased title I could find. As of now, this is how many titles I have:
Off the Wall (1975-1980) - 15 known titles
Thriller (1981-1984) - 32 known titles
Bad (1985-1988) - 25 known titles
Dangerous (1989-1993) - 33 known titles
HIStory (1994-1997) - 5 known titles
Invincible (1998-2003) - 49 known titles
This Is It (2004-2009) - 21 known titles
Unknown/Unconfirmed - 81 known titles
The unknown/unconfirmed section is for songs that have no known history but are proven to exist in some form, or songs that are rumored to exist but cannot be confirmed. They are included to make this the most comprehensive list available. Almost every title registered with the US Copyright Office (including songs like Adore You, Silent Spring, D.I.E. and Just Remember), as well as the 50+ titles Michael named in his various court depositions, are in this section of the list. Can anyone give me a good few titles of songs from either of those sources that you have concrete information for? I will gladly e-mail anyone the full, unedited list/s if they ask.
f) What four will.i.am collaborations are complete enough for release? I've been told that I'm Dreamin', Still the King, The Future and Miss You are the four, but I can't be sure.
g) Did Michael really record a song entitled Angel with Babyface in 1998?
If you don't wish to post known information for free viewing, please inbox me. I will gladly add your name as a co-author if you wish. The document is being made to clear all rumors regarding unreleased songs and give the community an understanding of what we can expect to see released in the future, as well as what we won't be seeing.
