ZitatAlles anzeigenToday is Michael Jacksons birthday. (August 29th). Since I was a child I have been a huge Michael Jackson fan.. and from day one I always wanted to meet Michael Jackson. And I KNEW for e FACT that I WOULD meet him!! I wanted to meet him, give him a hug and speak to him artist to artist and pick his brain. I always thought I would get that chance. But then sadly he passed in 2009. It broke my heart more than most could understand. So as big of an MJ fan as I am. I never got that chance to work with him. Or even be in the same room as him.
The first album I owned of Michael's was Dangerous. My mom got it for me when I was a kid. When I first heard it, to me, it sounded like this man came down from a spaceship and all these sounds and lyrics and harmonies I was hearing out of this album was from beyond this world. I had never heard anything like it.. EVER! And have never heard anything like it since. Its really hard to put into words what Dangerous did for me. I listened to it more than any other album or song. It is the most important and influential album in my entire life. In my eyes, Michael Jackson's Dangerous album is the most futuristic album and sound that I have ever heard. When I got older and started producing music I always tried to understand how the Dangerous album was created. But years and years of production and I never got close.. Until I started working on this song.
"Cheater" is a song I first heard on the "Ultimate Collection". I thought it was a cool idea, had a good bridge and hook idea. I'm just guessing but I think it was a demo that MJ made around the Bad era. But it never got finished. So I thought it would be cool to take the idea and turn it into a complete and bigger song. I didn't have access to the acapellas of "Cheater" so when I sampled the song I had to cut it up so the beat wasn't noticeable. I made the rest of the track completely from scratch.. No samples from any other MJ songs.. I went through thousands of sounds to recreate a track that could be reminiscent of the Dangerous Era/Album. But to be clear.. I DIDN'T SAMPLE ANY OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S BEATS!! I created the track from scratch.. Now.. for the vocals. I sampled the "Cheater" song.. I also took samples from MJ acapellas such as "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Blood On The DanceFloor" and "Earth Song". And my good friend Metal Andy placed some awesome guitars on it.
This may not mean much to you. But for me, this is a major triumph in my life. Since I started doing music as a kid I always wanted to replicate the sound of Dangerous. Just understand it. And today I finally did. And even though its not official. I finally got to be on a song with the person that I have always loved and looked up to more than anybody musically and personally. This song today means more to me than any other song I have created. Please enjoy it with me today and celebrate the Birthday of the greatest entertainer that has ever lived.
Michael Jackson.
