The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

My god. Remember What I Told You is an absolute gift, and could have easily been the last track on a properly released posthumous collection of songs. Its so haunting, beautiful and sad that this could have been his version of The Beatles "The End" with the most minimal of editing needed.

This song would have been a perfect reminder and goodbye of the artist that was Michael Jackson as we knew him - then the Estate could have moved onto their shitty vanity projects with Timbaland.

"Please let me go" is after hitting me harder than I thought anything MJ related could in 2026. God I miss him!

Estate has stuff like this and doesn't have a clue what to do with it or think that it's even worth releasing.

Instead of Remember What I Told You we got This Is It (a.k.a I Never Heard).

I mean, that made sense.

I feel like the Michael album should have leaned more into the "What was left behind"

1. Hold My Hand ft Akon
2. Hollywood
3. The Way You Love Me
4. Best of Joy
5. All In Your Name ft Barry Gibb
6. Ghost of Another Lover
7. Gloucestershire
8. The Loser
9. Lady of Summer (Classical Recording)
10. Remember What I Told You

With the explanation being, while not all of these are polished, these were the songs MJ was working on in his final years. I'd have Neff-U produce the whole album. If Will.I.am was cooperative, I'd throw I'm Still the King or Dreamin' in there if GOAL is too out of date.

Doesn’t GOAL have mumbled vocals, I don't know if Lady of Summer has anything
 
I did not realize that two versions of Neverland Landing had leaked:
Demo 83 + Rework 86

Correct?

Where did this info about it being from '86 come from though? Never saw anything about this until it fully leaked.

Can someone describe the evolution of Streetwalker? There are so many versions and they did work on this track after the bad sessions, no?

There's only two "final" versions, the 1987 mix that was a contender for the Bad album (the one you replied to) and the 1988 Bill Bottrell remix made after the Bad sessions (obviously) which is the version we've gotten officially released since 2001, the other version we have is the 1986 demo but that's all it is, just a demo.

I guess you can count the early version of "Dangerous" if you really stretch the definition of what counts as Streetwalker lol

Only problem is some of those songs contain no actual lyrics. For die hard fans, we want to hear everything but for casual listeners, it's no use.

If we’re actually gonna do this, it should be

Xscape
She Was Loving Me
Hold My Hand
The Way You Love Me
Blue Gangsta
The Loser
A Place With No Name
Hollywood Tonight
Remember What I Told You
Best of Joy

That’s the best we’ve gotten in this timeline and are aware, the most logical collection of stuff that scratches the itch of what was worked on in his final years.
 
Do we have any other information on Thank Heaven?

That snippet really came out of nowhere. Michael can clearly be heard singing. Is it among the Water and Monster category of rarities?

Same can be asked about Light The Way, but no MJ vocals confirmed so far

Motif said that Light The Way is like Adore You. So I guess just a choir throughout the song.

The tapes are dated from a 1986 copy. Michael used to pull thriller era tapes up to get reworked and remixed during the bad era

I see. But would it be like how the Turnin' Me Off DAT where the copy was from 1989 though the demo was from 1986? How do we definitively know this is a rework and not an '83 mix?

The leak of “Neverland Landing” sounds very ‘86 with the drum machine featured - the Linn 9000 - that was used on a lot of Bad-era songs including Cheater, APOM and MITM. Must be a complete re-recording of the ‘83 song.

Yeah, but I was basing my tracklist on stuff Michael worked on post-03. So Xscape and BG would have to be held off for the Xscape Album. We know APWNN was worked on by Neff-U so that would fit as a track Michael dug out of the vault.
