The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

[BlackAnon]

Do we know what Roger Troutman did on Al Capone?

Guitar on Al Capone and Tomboy

‚Blood On The Dancefloor’ is
‚Little Susie Pt. 2‘

Are you denying the direct melodic, structural and thematic through line from Billie Jean ---> Price of Fame ---> Who Is It? Believing Michael to be unaware of their similarities, in my opinion, insults his ability as a songwriter for self-quotation and intertextuality

Not sure I’d call Bryan’s music timeless. It’s all very distinctly late 80s / early 90s funk imbued NJS. I enjoy what he did with MJ and think he gets way too much hate, but his material was not at all worthy of making the final album. A lot of it felt like bargain bin Prince material (and this from someone who doesn’t like Prince).

Indeed. Teddy’s songs simply blew Bryan’s songs out of the water, as much as Bryan would have loathed to admit. Once Michael heard Teddy’s grooves, that was the way do go.

On the Victory album assistent engineer Mike Hatcher's name appears only on Be Not Always. What might be the other track he's co-engineered - BB?
