The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

I do still wonder if Will.I.Am tried to cut MJ in on the Sergio Mendes Album he worked on around this same time. This track they did with JT will forever be perfectly suited for Michael's voice.

Will was also working with Timberlake around this time also. Damn Girl on the FutureSex album and also the Black Eyed Peas stuff.

Will was at his peak around this time. Since then, he's fell off.
 
Also, P.Y.T 2008 is the first contemporization of a demo, when you get down to it.

Beat It 2008 is the first "duet"

MJ basically signed off on all of the estates worst ideas in a way.
 
When you really examine them actually, P.Y.T. 2008 and Love Never Felt So Good (Duet) literally are the exact same.

An 80s MJ demo on a modern beat
A modern artist contributing (Will, JT)
A throwback Bridge (Sampling the Call Response of The Pretty Young Things, Sampling Workin Day and Night)

We're evolving, just backwards.

if you wanna go even further the first Michael/Xscape-like album would be Farewell My Summer Love
basically the same concept except it's Motown
 
I'll die on the hill that this one snippet they played here was "The Future", that sound perfectly fits the description Will.i.am gave of "The Future" (latin beat, callback sound to "Off The Wall", etc.). It's also the only song in that interview which hasn't been released by Will, there's that other song they played which people speculated was "Still The King" that was reused in 2 songs.

That beat at 3:40 is so dope..
 
I don't think they were actually working on anything in that interview. Will was just playing stuff for MJ.
We don’t know for certain

this and the “off the wall” beat are my personal grails and probably forever will be since I doubt anything they did will ever surface, even if it does it’d 1000% be just vocals or just instrumental.

This is probably the closest we will get.

Say what you want about Will.I.Am but he had the right idea as to what kind of music MJ needed to get back on the charts with. I have no doubt they would've made #1 hits together.

Some of the Buxer stuff is nice, but that wasn't going to be topping the charts and getting the younger generation interested.
 
The few will.i.am snippets we’ve heard are fine in my opinion. Similar to basically everything else he was doing in that time period, which is both a positive and a negative. I’d have to hear a full track to really get a gauge on their music together.

I still think MJ made a catastrophic mistake not working with Timbaland in the late 2000s. Tim was on an absolute heater, and I think a one on one collaboration between the two would’ve been otherworldly.

I think daft punk and mj would’ve been a really cool collab circa 2010. Right off of the Tron soundtrack. Maybe even Justice would’ve been cool. i think an mj French dance club sound would’ve been interesting (and new sound for mj)

MJ wanted to go with Dr. Dre but Dre was too scared for that.
