Xscape General Discussion

naah of course estate is "smart" enough to put the demo tracks on the expensive deluxe edition :S they know the fans...

anyway, im happy with any tracklist as long as it includes original, only-michael-touched versions!

but STTR as a single would be amazing. i always wondered why this song has never been released. also for non-fans it´s a great track to play in discos etc.

I hope and think STTR will be the first single!!

BUT - isn't it a little weird that we get no info about a lead single or something??

Gaz, any news about the first single?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

What can i say.. What a great day to be a MJ fan. The Album cover kicks ass! Can't wait for the tracklist. XSCAPE!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, OH MY GOD :cry: what a thing to wake up to :') ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I had hoped to get the track-list today too. :)

And maybe to hear something about 1st single etc.

BUT I am ok. - Great day. - Great great cover!! - BUT don't you think it will say Michael Jackson somewhere across the picture/cover ?? Or will Xscape be the only letters on the cover??
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Maybe Xscape is the first single and this is the single cover art?

It seems to be modern to just have the name on a sticker, and not the actual cover. I therefore think the cover will be without the name.

I don't think so, because they just filmed the video for Slave To The Rhythm.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

This is a wonderful day to be a MJ fan !!!

99.7 % of all are happy so far! - We get both new and original versions!! - GREAT cover art !!

A cool one word title - Michael Jackson Xscape !!!

So far everything is perfect! (ok 8 songs might not be perfect, but it's not a disaster!!)

I think this release will be HUGE and unite fans again !!!

No debate, no controversy - just joy and happyness !!! - GREAT
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

i might give this album a chance lol
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

This was a shocker to wake up to, surreal; but it's really what we've wanted from day one! Unreleased, untampered music! :D

I can't wait for the track-listing either, I just hope they don't screw it up with the Xperia deal!

I reckon Xscape will the be the first Single, but it could be Slave to the Rhythm!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

First single is Slave To The Rythm. Confirmed by dancer from Sony ad.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I would love 6-7 minutes long songs. Like 20/20 Experience had. I love that. Just music and MJ ad-libbing. Also that way 8 tracks would seem longer.

Thriller had 9, Victory had 8. Both great albums.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Will this album be available on HDTracks as a high resolution download?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

John Mclain is not good... he has no idea how to pick good songs.. He produced 'You are my Life' on Invincible and it didn't belong on there.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

" For the ultimate fan experience, XSCAPE will also be available in a Deluxe Edition, which includes all of the sourced Michael Jackson recordings in their original form. "

OMFG! Cant wait! Just need a track list now!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

8 tracks. 4 of which are already known to be leaked.

But that could just be a commercial couldn't it? - Not official confirmation to me...

I hope so!! :)

You Are My Life is a wonderful song. - If Xscape has a sweet ballade like that I will be so happy. - Great great song. And in Private Home Movies while his children are there YAML plays - so I think MJ liked the song a lot, I think it was special to him. - Maybe not about a girl, but a dedication of love to his children. - I really like that song. :)

Maybe he co-produced some songs with someone. He is a good friend with Dr. Freeze so he probably worked on Blue Gangsta and A Place With No Name but I would love to hear these two songs “contemporized” and I don't know how much McClain is contemporary. So maybe he co-produced it with Timbaland..

Xscape - THE BEST album title they could've come up with!

Xscape - my wish is coming true, best unreleased song - THAT KILLER BRIDGE!!!

16 tracks (8+8) perfect. You can discover the songs from two different angels...

Surprised that they can always surprise me with the cover art - unknown picture, mega futuristic, modern era MJ - PERFECT!
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

mkgenie said that the announcement is about the first single, so maybe this is not it for today?
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

8 tracks might not seem much, but i'm really ok (and thankful) with it since we get the deluxe. There's a big chance they really reduced it to the "core" killer material and leaving more incomplete tracks off (from this album).
But I think the normal and deluxe will both be 1-disc versions, otherwise they would have mentioned a second disc imo.
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

8 tracks. 4 of which are already known to be leaked.

I guess 5 of the 8 will be songs that we diehard fans have heard - but to 99.7 % of ALL who buys the album the songs will be ALL brand new!!

10.000 fans hear the leaked songs maybe - 3 million people will buy Xscape. - Leaked songs are heard by such small percentage of the buyers. - No problem really. - Only we the hardcore fans have been hearing the songs. - And we too get a new version - PLUS a demo - maybe the demo we get is even different to the one that leaked. - It will not be Trickys mix we get - but a new demo version.

SO - it's a win-win for everyone. - I have heard ALL MJ songs that have leaked - can I blame SONY or The Estate ?? - Hell NO I Can't !!! - I will buy the album, support it and love it ( I hope !! )

Xscape will be an amazing release I think !!!

I haven't heard any of them, "leaked" (stolen) or not. :chillin:

So, bring them on!!

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

I just realized Xscape - Xperia, makes sense.

And I like the release date 05.13.2014 it adds up to 7 in numerology (1+6=7)
 
Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
