The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Just talking about this is hilarious.

Fake songs on the most anticipated posthumous album ever assembled - Barely a blip in society

A cassette of some basic Internet leaks from the 90s - A really big deal for some reason.

Please let's move on smh
 
If they do actually split the biopic into pieces, then maybe they could include a different soundtrack for both. One with different unreleased songs.

Dream Away for Part 1, something else for Part 2.

Sorry, I should have been more clear when I was talking about Akon and Lenny Kravitz.

Yes, Neff-U did work with MJ in the later years so he did finish up some songs they had been working on together. However, I believe they let Neff-U work on songs he was never a part of i.e. Best of Joy. Didn't he completely rewrite the music for that changing what MJ had on the demo?

MJ gave Neff-U the song to cook up whatever he could come up with. It wasn't "them" doing it.

The only ones coming in to interfere was Teddy Riley, and John McClain on the older cuts, though people find him less abrasive of a touch than say, Timbaland.
 
I don't recall Neff-U having worked on Best Of Joy. I'm also unsure he worked on The Way You Love Me. It seems his comments were more in the spiritual sense when he said MJ gave him the song as a gift.
 
If Xscape had been released without it's demoes I think the discourse of things would be a lot worse than they are. Them doing that, with both options being satiated is the only way going forth honestly. Cause just releasing a bunch of demoes is Thriller 40, and we saw how affecting that was. Love Never Felt So Good was an honest hit, and that should be appreciated.

As far as I can remember, MJ wanted him to actually approach the songs with a fresh angle. If that's not the case then that's fine. Overall MJ did trust him though, so it's not a real leap. Hollywood Tonight was one he genuinely wasn't involved with until after the fact though I think.

I still think Who Do You Know was slightly modernized. We'll probably never really know.

I’m usually against harassing MJ collaborators on social media, but his political posts just make me so sad. We gotta get back to asking him questions.

Indeed, it is kind of pathetic that it’s full of political stuff. That’s why I barely check his account these days… but always love those nuggets of info he reveals on MJ
 
Bills life doesn't exactly revolve around Michael so I wouldn't expect to see postings about him daily unless a question is asked but I hope he follows through with the book or a section on his website discussing the recording dates

Let's hope it'll be more than just recording dates. I wanna know everything on his uncredited contribution to the Bad era songs.

Why do you think so?

The guitar on Who Do You Know sounds too modern to me. I just don't think it would've been on the original recording from 1980 or 81. That's just the sense I get when I hear it.

If I am wrong, well then the song was ahead of its time.
 
Also they could've very well created a new mix from the multitracks. Most of them, when mixed direct from the source, sound as new as the day they were recorded.

Believe me, I've mixed a track that's available on Youtube in mid-tier quality. You wouldn't believe how much clarity it had while I was mixing it.
 
The Michael Jackson Estate is indeed very inconsistant about the mixes put onto their albums. For example, the original versions on the Xscape album use earlier (DYKWYCA/BG etc) or later versions (APWNN etc) without noting which was used and care more about the date of the vocal take recording.

Regarding Who Do You Know, I don‘t have a definite or confirmed answer to what mix was used but I have seen a date from around Late 1981. The mention that it was considered for inclusion on Victory doesn‘t mean that it was even slightly worked on, just that Michael noted the title down for considerations.
