The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

Did Motif somehow manage to get his hands on the multitracks for Threatened or what is this (see 05:21).

I’m a bit lost. How can the newly leaked Gloucestershire be a “Bible” and a “final” mix when the song is clearly unfinished? If I can throw my two cents, I think this specific mix predates the leak from 2014 because MJ imitates the whistle on the bridge which was probably overdubbed later with the actual instrument/whistle. Just my two cents.
I’m with you 100%. He goes "da-da-da" in the bridge section of this mix while the supposedly “older mix” has a lot more instrumentation going on; how can the former mix possibly be more finished?

I personally want every leak from the 2000s / bedroom list from 2009, including Joy / Toy. It's really selfish of me, but I want to try and piece together a pretend version of his next album for my own enjoyment lol.
I don't think its selfish—we all have a favorite artist in Michael and ofc we would want to hear what could be.

I can see:

Hold My Hand
Hollywood
Ghost of Another Lover
Ways You Love Me
Best of Joy
Remember What I Told You
Dark Lady
Shut Up and Dance
From The Bottom of My Heart
Beautiful Girl
Days in Glouchestershire
I Was The Loser
Broken Chair
Breath


As strong candidates for the next album

What were actually getting from the estate in the next posthumous album: 9 songs that we have already heard from the Ultimate Collection and a single song that we have literally never heard of before.
 
Well, Michael never really moved beyond scratch vocals. Especially after HMH leaked. Since Brad went back to flying after the November 08 sessions, I don't think Michael was comfortable recording just with anyone. I'm hoping we hear more Neff-U stuff. I think that's the most likely producer for the next album and knew where Michael wanted to go sonically.

So I think I like The Way You Love Me, Hollywood, Best of Joy, Dark Lady.

It wouldn't be weird at all, as far as I know, the early 2000s leak of Xscape is apparently meant to be from 2002, while the version we got in Xscape Deluxe is from 1999, and yet the leaked version is lacking strings and other instruments in different sections.

I don't know if the leak is actually a mix newer than the one on Xscape Deluxe, that's just what I've red here in the past.
 
What is he saying here?


"Hold me like you really used too, summers in Gloucestershire
The illest children, see them laughing, (Jacksonese?)"

in igloos?
The view is changing, see them laughing, in their gardens.
 
I love the melody of Days of Gloucestershire. But the lyrics and title of the song don't work. Different lyrics/title with that melody, that song is special.
