  • Album "XSCAPE"

    Michael Jackson new album Xscape: first listen
    Bernadette McNulty gives her verdict on the forthcoming Michael Jackson
    album Xscape, a collection of eight 'new' songs featuring production by
    Timbaland


    Was the surprise news that Michael Jackson was about to release an album
    nearly five years after his death inspired by Kate Bush’s return? I like to
    think of him hanging out in the never-ending Neverland that is the afterlife
    and on hearing the news that an Eighties chart contemporary had sold-out 22
    nights at the Hammersmith Apollo in 15 minutes, wanted to remind people how
    in that summer of 2009, he was about to embark on a 50-date run at the O2.
    Take that Bush I can hear him saying.


    Not that I imagine Jackson to be bitter about his eternal confinement across
    the river Styx (I’m not sure Hades provides many recording studios) – but I
    see him more as fiercely competitive and as committed to being a singing
    superstar as he was in life.


    And it was exactly those qualities that I was reminded of on the first listen
    for his new posthumous album, called Xscape, set to be released in May.


    Appropriately, even the setting for the playback had a foot in the past. In
    the basement of a swanky Knightsbridge hotel, drinks flowed amongst the
    smoke mirrored walls and white leather couches as the label chief and DJ
    Trevor Nelson pumped up the crowd. It was as if the economic implosion of
    the record industry over the last fifteen years had never happened, let
    alone the fact that the stars of today, from Kanye West to Beyonce, are more
    likely to just throw their albums on the internet overnight than do anything
    as recherche as arrange a listening party.


    Still, in the reality of the present, bouncers confiscated our phones and more
    bizarrely, the record was played through the sound system via the brand of
    mobile the album is sponsored by. Apparently this was to give us an elevated
    sonic experience but it sounded fairly similar to the clanging, bass-heavy
    din of any overamplified iPhone speaker. Not that anything felt particularly
    sacrilegious about this corporate alliance. Again, Jackson was an early and
    enthusiastic pioneer of hooking up with global brands; I doubt he would have
    been doing anything different now.



    What the quality of the sound couldn’t diminish though was the pristine,
    front-and-centre presence of Jackson’s voice in the mix. The singer’s
    posthumous releases, particularly the 2010 compilation Michael, have
    ironically only served to make Jackson feel more dead, the lifeless songs
    lurching and thudding with the grace of Frankenstein’s monster, animated
    purely by brute studio (and commercial) force rather than organic impulses.


    Xscape at least sounds more like a labour of love and with only eight songs, a
    judiciously edited and cohesive album rather than an endless memory-stick
    jumble of offcuts. Former US X Factor judge LA Reid has overseen the
    process, working his way through four decades of unused recordings that
    Jackson has left behind. Employing a premier league team of top name pop
    producers, Reid has called the reboot ‘contemporizing’ Jackson’s songs, a
    euphemism that even Bernard Matthews might balk at when faced with the
    processed nature of these recordings. But the balance often feels quite
    subtle and even-handed between the original song and the new styles of
    orchestration and production.


    From fashionable-again orchestral disco and propulsively lithe electro to
    Rodney Jerkin’s trademark militarised beats, you can still hear fully-formed
    Jackson songs there – even more striking in an age where RnB and pop has
    largely become a collage of chants and breakdowns. I just haven’t hadn’t
    heard this many words in a pop song for ages, let alone proper verses,
    bridges and choruses.


    The only problem was that those verses, bridges and choruses made up songs
    that ultimately didn’t make the final cut of his classic albums. Sometimes
    it’s interesting to see the rough cuts and working out of an artist, to
    trace your finger along the arduous and often confused process by which
    something is made from nothing. Incredible pop music though tends to emerge
    much more fitfully and often between the undocumented interplay between
    different people.


    These songs all sounded like prototypes – that one a bit like Wanna Be
    Starting Something, the next, a distant cousin of The Way She Makes Me Feel,
    and if anything, they start to reveal some of the limited templates that
    Jackson worked with: the Jackson 5 good-time funk disco number; the bashful
    choirboy ballad; the angry, despairing epic. The lyrics, perhaps the
    critical thing in the magic of the final Jackson mix, often so strange and
    mantra-like, sounded on these songs forgettable generic, bar one that asked,
    Michael Gove-like, if you knew where your children were at midnight if they
    weren’t at home.


    But it was still a kind of wonder to hear that man-woman voice so utterly
    unlike any other, rude with vitality and power, flying through the octaves
    while simultaneously punctuating itself with those inimitable yelps and
    shrieks. And the producers seem to have responded in kind, digging out some
    of their most glistening beats and loops to burnish and embroider Jackson’s
    singing.


    Perhaps because this record does sound like it was at least made with some
    kind of love it felt quite poignant. What album would Jackson be making now
    I wondered? Would he still be stuck in the stylistic rut of his final work
    or would he have been rescued by Daft Punk and created some fresh miracle?
    The record producers sound like they are asking themselves the same
    questions, if not arriving at any answer.


    In the room, a strange portrait of Jackson hung down over us, most of his head
    clamped silently in a glitter dust trumpet while his eyes peer over the top,
    both mournful and defiant. The pregnant lady next to me rubbed her tummy.
    “The baby must love this,” she said, “they are going wild.” With Jackson,
    life obviously goes on.

  • PEOPLE OF THE WORLD GELEAKED

    so blöd...wenn ich der Estate wäre würde ich sagen, Jungs wisst ihr was: Ihr habt es verdient das 2014 kein neues Album kommt :P


    Gut, dass ich nicht der Estate bin werden sich jetzt einige denken ;D


    Es ist immer geil einen neuen MJ Song zu hören, aber bitte nicht auf diesem Wege!


    Korgnex: Inwieweit unterscheidet sich die noch fehlende TWYLM von der ursprüngliche DEMO auf TUC?

  • 9 “Cascio”-Tracks aufgetaucht

    ohje geht jetzt schon wieder die Diskussion los :blossnet


    vorallem Kommentare wie: "Schon krass, für wie blöd man uns hält..." oder "es ist doch eindeutig MJ" total sinnlos.


    Ob Pro oder Contra, Fakt ist: Keine Seite hat bis heute 100% Beweise!


    Solange es keinen Beweis gibt, sollte man nicht unnötig das Thema wieder durchkauen.


    Ich habe keine Lust mehr dazu! Vorallem wenn es in einem Thema losgeht, wo es eigentlich um den Song A Place With No Name gehen soll ;)

  • ANNOUNCEMENT AM MONTAG!

    Hm jetzt wirds doch langsam Zeit das sich hier was tut. Man kann doch nicht einfach so einen unbedeutsamen Werbeclip hochladen und dann denken das jetzt ein Hype entsteht. Ich würde den Song schnellstmöglich veröffentlichten :) ich weiß gar nicht auf was der Estate wartet?? Naja vllt wollen sie erstmal den großen Hype der ja anscheinend herrscht :rofl etwas abkühlen lassen, bis das Interesse und die Wahrnehmung: hey da war dovhmal was mit mj und nem sony Handy...naja genug von meiner Enttäuschung. Freitag wäre aber ein guter Tag den Song der Welt zu präsentieren ;)
