The Discussion of MJ's Unreleased Tracks

I would give the estate so much credit if they had unreleased music on the soundtrack / in the biopic and didn’t announce it to surprise us.

They absolutely didn’t, but can you imagine?

I would imagine that ATLEAST Hot Street and maybe the other Thriller tracks from the original track list would be mentioned since the movie seems to have a Thriller track list scene

I thought that the DYKWYCA dangerous theory was false? I know Najar said that it may have been reworked in the HIStory sessions, but not Dangerous?

Brief work on it at Larrabee in 1990; and later recreated from scratch for History.
 
Edgar Allan Poe": Michael had a well-documented obsession with Poe and was supposedly developing a song (or perhaps a broader cinematic project) centered around him during the late 90s. Walter Afanasieff has mentioned working on classical-leaning, cinematic pieces with Michael during this time, and "Poe" is frequently cited as a fully recorded, unleaked masterpiece
 
Motown/UMG released a new Michael Jackson Greatest Hits compilation yesterday called "Michael: The Birth of a Superstar".

Here's the tracklist:
I Want You Back
Got To Be There (Single Version)
ABC
Rockin' Robin
I'll Be There
I Wanna Be Where You Are
Never Can Say Goodbye (Single Version)
Doggin' Around
You've Changed
Ain't No Sunshine
Who's Lovin' You (Single Version)
With A Child's Heart
Mama's Pearl
Music And Me
Stand!
We've Got A Good Thing Going (Single Version)
Maybe Tomorrow
We're Almost There
Dancing Machine (Single Version)
Just A Little Bit Of You
The Love You Save
One Day In Your Life
Farewell My Summer Love
Medley: I Want You Back/ABC/The Love You Save (Live In Japan / 1973)
Ben (Live at the Forum, 1972)
I'll Be There (Live at the Forum, 1972)

As you can see, it mostly alternates between J5 & MJ material and does not chronological order. There are some hits, deep cuts and live tracks and that's it. You'd think that if Motown was going to try and cash in on the biopic, they would at least include some unreleased songs that we haven't heard a hundred times!

Including the Forum '72 tracks when they coulda easily included the San Diego '72 tracks, or the rest of the unreleased Indiana '71 tracks.

“We talked about the album and he told me, ‘I’m not trying to follow any trends. I’m not trying to go back in time. I’m just trying to do quality music with a melody that’s infectious and has a message.’” - ne-yo on what mj wanted his new album to be like. More confirmation that environmental message songs was going to be important.

i'm confused because so many people that worked with MJ back then recalled him making an album, and then at the MJ Cast Michael Prince suddenly claimed that Michael told him he's not gonna release an album?

Not trying to shit on anyone who may, but does anyone actually listen to this type of stuff unironically? it sounds so uncanny and like a ton of random shit slopped together (it is). I don't get the appeal.

The chorus itself is like the only thing that sounds legible, everything is the Mos Eisley Cantina background music.

He was gonna compile those singles into an album and then add 2 more songs to the tracklist so he'd still be making a new album pretty much. He must've told some collaborators that it was a full album because it was easier and more to the point lol

I think a really powerful scene for the biopic would be Michael writing lyrics down accompanied with audio of his song ideas since he could hear entire compositions in his head. Buffalo Bill should be one of them since he felt so strongly about it.
