The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

I don't believe that is how it works at the office. Iirc someone who has been said that you can only play things through headphones although I can't confirm this. Most CDQ leaks came from the Sony hack or old cds.

Yeah, as far as I've seen they provide headphones for you to use.

Kind of. It's a latin beat, dance song that talks about environmental issues. It's the only song along with I'm Dreamin' that Will confirmed to have been recorded by MJ. I think he also said the song was like a "contemporary Off The Wall" but I can't remember where I read that.

I think one of the 3 songs they showed on the Access Hollywood interview is The Future, it sounds similar to the description will.i.am gave.

listening to these after 17 years, they sound dated....I wonder if there's any truth to Michael actually recording them. The most Will said was he kept the music and Michael kept the vocals

That doesn't sound dated to me. It's the 2000s era sure but that's aging well in my opinion.

Will.i.am said that by 2007 they had recorded 3 songs together.
"Jackson has enlisted Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am for a backup on one of his tracks for the album. They appeared together in an Access Hollywood interview conducted in October of 2006.[15] At that time, they had not yet completed any music, but were still experimenting with different sounds and styles. However, a Rolling Stone magazine article published in February of 2007 stated that the pair had drafted eight new songs and physically tracked one, titled "I'm Dreamin'".

will.i.am told Billboard magazine that he is involved in more than just the musical aspect of Jackson's new album. He is also discussing with the artist how new technologies might be utilized to his advantage (as suggested by Access Hollywood's Billy Bush), particularly social networking websites and downloading outlets.[13]

In an August 2007 interview with Times Online, will.i.am was quoted as saying, "[Jackson's] voice is still incredible. It’s not about crazy beats that are going be here today and gone tomorrow, but melodies that will stay for a lifetime."[16]

On the 13th of August 2007, will.i.am told reporters at a Black Eyed Peas press conference in South Korea that another track he recorded with Jackson is titled "The Future".[17]

On the 23rd of August 2007, will.i.am revealed on the Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM that he's only recorded two songs with Jackson, both of a "feel good" nature - unrelated to the singer's life. He also stated they're to work on two further tracks in November.[18]

September 13th 2007: will.i.am mentions in a Swedish interview, that he and Michael have recorded three songs together, and personally appears as a duet/featuring artist on one. He also expressed hope for the first single to be released in 2008.

On the 2nd May 2008 Will I Am had an interview with BBC reporter Mark Savage and was asked 'When will we get to hear the songs you recorded with Michael?' With Will I Am responding 'The new stuff? Um, I don't know... Can you switch that tape recorder off... '"

Meaning are these full songs and not humming and mumbling through it? Will said he doesn’t have the vocals and that MJ kept them separate

I'm Dreamin' has its chorus recorded by Michael and the rap by Will.And he confirmed in an interview that he has the vocals in his hard drives. Here's a preview of the melody by Will.

I quite like the melody of that. I love a song where Mike has to break out his falsetto

I don't think the Will.i.am tracks are finished enough for a release or the songs prob aren't that good. I'm sure we would have heard at least 1 track by now.

In what context? MJ wasn't releasing any new music until he was good and ready. And will does not want it released post MJ's passing. Unless it's on his own album, which Will did attempt, until the Estate blocked it.
 
Yeah, will.i.am tried to release I'm Dreamin' 10 years ago but was rejected by the Estate so it's safe to say at least 1 song is complete enough. I agree that the chances are they aren't that good and they may not have aged well but we can't know that for certain.

Hearing that The Future has a Latin Beat is pretty progressive actually. The Hispanic music wave is a force to be reckoned with. And it seems that is something MJ was engaging with, where his head was at. I've heard it twice, with Will.I.Am, and with RedOne. So maybe MJ would be working with Bad Bunny if he was still around?

And going back to Off The Wall is always an easy way to Garner points. Basically a hail Mary in my point of view.

Let’s not pretend will.I.am isn’t above putting crap music out. He’s not releasing it because it’s blocked or it’s not finished.

Michael was the one who didn't want it put out. Most possibly anyway. Will is seemingly just respecting that and MJ's perfectionism.
 
Will only wants to release them if he gets full creative control in doing so. He might be the biggest hypocrite of them all. Releasing a posthumous album of MJ’s music is morally repugnant… but releasing what was supposed to be MJ’s song on someone else’s album is okay? F**k out of here.

I want to hear the music solely because they’re final era MJ tracks, but will.i.am can pound sand.

I liked that he said he flipped the original song to make it sound more Rod Temperton. It sounds interesting to me.

Tbf, how do we know it was meant for MJ's album? Maybe it was a feature. I'm pretty sure it was. But I would wanna know his rationalization in his own mind over this.

All the evidence you need:

Also, I remember an interview of will i am stating that the Michael album was disrespectful to MJ’s legacy. Maybe this influenced the estate’s decision to block him from releasing I’m Dreamin’ in 2013 on his album?
 
What’s the origin of this particular leaked snippet of Shut Up And Dance? It seems kinda fake, ngl:
