Absolutely mate! You've listed all my favourite examples as well, I'm So Blue doesn't get enough love.
I also never totally understood why he was portrayed in his Dangerous tour outfit and pose for the cover of History. Could be because of the military theme of the trailer but still.. I expected something totally fresh at the time
Yeah, I completely agree. Songs like “Buffalo Bill” are destined to be disappointments solely because they’ve been hyped up for years.
I don’t know what song you’ve been listening to, but it couldn’t be Smooth Criminal.
"Drum Pattern" is a production term meaning the organization of drums. Kinda confused why you'd say its not a similar pattern if you dont even know what it means haha. And yes it is nearly identical. Here listen to this thing I made - https://drive.google.com/file/d/165o0npZuoaRoxCXopKDtlf8kHDR-Zlq3/view?usp=sharing
SPYHO 91 is not an unreleased song/demo
its not available on streaming services, thats why i included it and mind is the magic.
MJ himself said it was going to be a hit. Thriller era MJ, at his peak. The guy who made Billie Jean, Beat It, and would make Smooth Criminal.
Streaming isn’t the only form of releases though. Are all of the mixes on singles mj put out from Off The Wall-Invincible now unreleased? Mind is the magic is on streaming btw. And most of mjs songs on streaming are unknown to the public lol. I see your point but I’d argue they count as release regardless of their status on streaming.
Yeah, and this is a bit unrelated to the topic, but seems like the estate will keep on contemporizing very obscure (to the general public, at least) Michael Jackson songs that are technically released, such as those from The Ultimate Collection.
Again, it’s not similar at all.
Very true mate, but I remember reading a deposition from 1984 were Michael referenced The Toy and how strong he thought it was. The fan reaction of The Toy demo has been mixed to say the least hasn't it
I think exactly the same way. I may be talking nonsense, because I'm not using any concrete gimmicks, but I believe that these songs from 2006-2009 are largely celebrations of the music itself. I imagine Michael trying to be more upbeat, even after a lot of suffering, with light ballads (in the good sense of the word), with a greater amount of dancing songs (like Off The Wall) and a lot of experimentation. Songs like He Who Makes The Sky Grey, Dark Lady, Boy No, Rocker, The Future and Remember What I Told You make me extremely thoughtful, and with each passing day, the desire to hear these songs becomes greater.
its not in the realm of releasability in the state it was left
It is a good song though. The Toy maybe isn't much but it became Best of Joy. The sketch of it was greatest.
Funnily enough the only good version is the Michael album one
It's a dance track writer's demo made by Eric Kirkland for the Invincible album. I believed that the song might have had MJ vocals but Damien Shields said that the version he heard at the U.S Copyright Office had Eric Kirkland singing the song instead. The Copyright Office demands you to submit the latest version of the track you have for copyright so what he heard has to be the most complete version of the song.
I remember Rodrigo Teaser mentioning how he got to listen to it, and he told the audience to keep an eye on it because it was going to be released one day; we don't know how reliable his statements are, however.
I doubt itll come out unless they heavily alter it.
Oh nevermind then, you've seen the video lol
Maybe he knew about the cover album.
I'd like to hear the version of BOF from the Dangerous album. It shouldn't change much, but it sounds interesting.
The rumoured one which is supposed to feature Bruno Mars and other renowned artists? It’s totally possible.
