The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

I agree. Let us hear the demos. The estate is so stingey with new music 🙄

The only 2 songs from the Michael album that I'll listen to are Hold My Hand and I Can't Make It Another Day because the collaborators finished the songs. The rest I skip. I don't need to hear Neff-U's take on an MJ demo.

Is Neff-U not a collaborator who was helping produce MJ's last songs?

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?
 
Can anyone tell me if "Monkey Business" was finished or was it still being worked on? I was blasting it in my car today & had to wonder😏

I believe there was footage of a wrap-up party related for "Monkey Business" in the leaks, so I believe that it was completed.
 
This one's up for auction again

As a fan of MJ and Loren's work, that cassette is very appealing and I want it, but it is too expensive and has too few mj vocals
I would buy it if they reduced the price by two digits more XD
 
Interesting listening to Brad Sundberg's MJCast Q and A episode.

He mentions being the guy who had to write out the lyrics for the booklet (Dangerous album) and he talks about sitting with Michael and checking the lyrics were right for Monkey Business.

I wonder if Monkey Business was that close to making the album that the lyrics for it were being typed up, or that Brad was doing this with all the songs that were completed and considered

Bill Bottrell should know. Has he been asked about this?
 
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.

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.
