Dann wars echt. Aber zum Glück war ich zu spät.

es muss nicht 'echt' gewesen sein, um urheberrecht zu verletzen.
aber davon ab - ich will das garnicht vorher alles hören,
ich möchte gerne die spannung und neugier beibehalten.
das ist schwierig genug, wenn man so viel schon zuvor erfährt,
und wenn der künstler selbst nicht mehr für überraschungen zur verfügung steht. *seufz*

News EXCLUSIVE :
LMJ listening to XSCAPE with the MJ Estate in Los Angeles April 12, 2014

On behalf of the Legendary Michael Jackson Fan Club (LMJ), Sjoerd Roijenga (LMJ’s USA Representative and member of the Board) attended a
very special and exclusive event. We are happy to share the news with you all!

By Sjoerd Roijenga

Good morning,

LMJ was one of eleven invited fan clubs from all over the world: Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, United Kingdom,
United States and us, from The Netherlands.

We were picked up from the hotel in a van and taken to the Jim Henson recording Studios. There where chairs waiting for us in Studio A,
the actual studio where Miuchael recorded ‘We Are The World’ with all the starts in 1985!

It was announced that John Branca was going to be there and also L.A. Reid who is the CEO of Epic records
and actually created this new CD, XSCAPE. Mr. Reid was actually going to be the one playing the new album for us.

Before the playing of the new album Mr. Reid told us that on this album there are only 8 songs because they ONLY
wanted to use songs that where actually finished by Michael Jackson himself.

Both XSCAPE album covers. Silver for single album, gold for album + bonus CD (Jewelcase or Softpack)

The songs that where played for us were:

Love Never Felt So Good
With this song it was mentioned that the voice, piano and finger snaps from MJ where on the same original track so
they had to be put on the cd like this.

Chicago

She Was Loving Me

A Place With No Name

Slave To The Rhythm

Do You Know Where Your Children Are

Blue Gangsta

XScape

In my opinion they are taking us back to what Michael used to do before History especially with the “hihi”, “hoehoe” and “ows”!! I personally
like that a lot since that is really what Michael was about for me. The songs give me the feeling we are about to get a Michael Jackson album with older,
very original, tracks that sound like Michael’s songs in the ‘Dangerous’ period.

They only picked songs of which Michael made more than one track. In that way it was possible to determine which songs Michael really liked because
he worked on them more than once.

They all sound very suitable for this time. Michael’s songs were always very timeless. Many of his old hits are still perfect for airplay today.

The sounds and beats of the songs are very powerful and I think this album will do great!

John Branca also mentioned there will be videos (or as MJ liked to call them ‘Short Films’) with this new album.

We thank the Michael Jackson Estate and Epic Records for inviting us and enable us to share this with our fellow fans!

@ badwoman laut joe vogel, rooney (der der den track geschrieben hat) ist Chicago und she was loving me EINS. Ich finds auch komisch, das dürfte aber stimmen.
Eine Namensähnlichkeit 2er Songs dürft schuld dran sein an dem Durcheinander.

@damienshields 'She Was Lovin’ Me' was never mentioned in discussions, only ever referred to #2 as ‘Chicago’. ‘Lovin’ You’ was used for #3.

Xscape – An Album Listening Like No Other

MJWN’s Matt Blank has listened to the ‘Xscape’ album, and there’s a lot of excitement he wants to share with you:

The experience I had on Thursday was like no other. Myself, along with around 10 other fans who represent fantastic Fan Clubs all over the world, were invited to LA in California by the Estate of Michael Jackson and Epic Records. We all attended somewhat blindly, without any knowledge of what we were going for. However, with the new album ‘Xscape’ already announced, it was a fairly safe bet that we were going to get a chance to listen to the album. Excitement was running through all of us as we met that morning, though it reached a new level when our car arrived at the Jim Henson Recording Studios.

This studio used to be known as the A&M Studios and it was where Michael co-wrote ‘We Are The World’ and recorded it with many other high profile artists. There wasn’t a more fitting location to listen to Michael’s voice again than in that room. Little has changed to the studio in nearly 30 years. With the wooden floor and ceiling, it was instantly recognisable from what we’ve seen in the video of the hit charity single of 1985.

As I looked around, reflecting on the history that was made in the room, we sat down in a semi-circle and John Branca, co-executor of Michael’s Estate, greeted us all and explained why we were there. Then L.A. Reid, Chairman of Epic Records and Executive Producer of the ‘Xscape’ album walked in. He was ready to personally play us the eight new tracks on the album. He explained that in line with his style of production work, the eight tracks selected are the best tracks he could have found in the vault of Michael’s archives. He said he disregarded any recordings that didn’t have full vocals, noting that if Michael recorded a whole song (compared to just a chorus for example) then it meant that Michael liked it. And true to form this is something we can see as we look back on Michael’s career. John Branca pointed out that ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin” was originally recorded for ‘Off The Wall’ but used three years later on ‘Thriller’. ‘Earth Song’ and ‘They Don’t Care About Us’ was originally recorded for ‘Dangerous’, but eventually used four years later on ‘HIStory’. The songs left over, recorded in full, aren’t finished articles. But nor are they necessarily songs Michael had disregarded and thrown into the trash. Also interestingly, Reid told us later on that he was unaware that six out of the eight tracks had previously been leaked, and that the song list had already been chosen when this information was brought to his attention.

Before hitting play, Reid delighted us with stories from his past; the moment he met Michael, the moment he had an official meeting with Michael, and other stories including touching moments he witnessed between Michael and his children. The stories spanned two decades, as Michael and Reid grew close and desired to work together. Unfortunately this was never meant to be during Michael’s lifetime, nevertheless Reid’s appreciation, love and respect for Michael is evident.

My original intention was to review each song and scribble down notes to report what each track sounded like. However, with every song that passed, my pen was used less and less. As the album continued, we were getting up, starting to dance, move, feel the music and experience Michael in a new way. I stared around the historic ‘We Are The World’ room, with L.A. Reid jumping around to the grooves, John Branca and the rest of the Estate team dancing and Michael’s vocals ringing through my ears, and writing notes on every song was not what I wanted to do. It wasn’t a place to write. It was a place to listen. The music dictated this more than being a conscious decision. I was overwhelmed by the music and soon enough you will find out why when it’s released. It’s not for me to ruin that experience and surprise for you. So instead, let me give you the quickest of overviews:

Tracklisting:

1. Love Never Felt So Good
2. Chicago
3. Lovin’ You
4. A Place With No Name
5. Slave To The Rhythm
6. Do You Know Where Your Children Are
7. Blue Gangsta
8. Xscape

Overview:
Each song could be a dance floor filler. They all have very strong beats that rumble through your body. The opening song put an immediate smile on my face and raised the hair on my arms. With powerful vocals delivered by Michael throughout, his passion, his anger and his love is constantly there.

The album was played twice back-to-back. Smiles all around, the excitement was so different to anything I’ve experienced before. Branca would go and talk to different people in the room. He said to me “this will fill dance floors across the world”. And it just might!

The next month will prove to have lots of surprises for the fans and public alike. I’m not going to tell you what they are, but what I will say is that as I walked out of the studio, I was left with the knowledge that Michael’s legacy is in great hands. Michael worked harder than any other artist throughout his career. He would want that legacy continued. Creating the record breaking Cirque Du Soleil tour, releasing a movie, producing a video game among other things such as anniversary albums and DVD releases, is just part of what the Estate have done to help further and retain Michael’s legacy. Bringing together producers to release unheard material; producers that knew Michael or worked with Michael or it was a known fact that Michael admired, is just right. The album feels contemporary in every way and it’s thrilling to hear Michael again. You think you’ve heard some of these songs before…but you haven’t. Not like this!

It is a delicate situation, but the Estate have continued Michael’s legacy with dignity and introduced millions of new people to Michael’s unique talents.

Long may it continue.

EXKLUSIV!!! Malibu war beim Xscape Hearing in Los Angeles dabei und durfte das neue Album bereits (mehrmals) komplett anhören. In einem Tonstudio in LA. wurde das Album von LA Reid persönlich vorgestellt. John Branca war ebenfalls anwesend. Einen Tag nach dem Hearing, wurden wir zu einem Brainstormin-Treffen ins Sony Center geladen. Auch dort waren John Branca und die CEO's von Epic und Sony Music anwesend und nahmen unsere Meinung ernst.

Eines steht fest: Diesmal wurde definitiv alles richtig gemacht. Es wird großen Wert auf Michael's Legacy gelegt und auf uns, die Fans!! Alle Infos gibt es bald in unserem Forum.

“Xscape” Listening Session, Los Angeles
12APR

As an administrator and sometime contributor to MJ Truth Now posts, I want to share my recent experience…a listening session for the much anticipated Sony/Estate album release, “Xscape.”

It was exciting to be invited to this event and to share it with other fans who traveled from Spain, Germany, Japan, UK and the Netherlands. I must say the surprise of the invite stopped me a bit cold…it wasn’t expected, but oh, so appreciated. We gathered in the studio where “We Are The World” was recorded and we immediately attempted to determine exactly where Michael stood during that historic recording. LA Reid was to be our guide through the music and he offered a few remarks beforehand. He spoke about meeting with Michael early in 2009 and about Michael’s desire to work with him on new music. He talked about his experiences with Michael as a father and it was very obvious how much affection and respect he feels for him. LA Reid really liked Michael and emphatically states that “he is innocent.”

He told us that his journey through the master recordings brought focus to his vision of cohesiveness for the album and his track choices reflect that. LA explained that he chose selections with the caveat that Michael sang the full song, with background, more than once….that it informed him that Michael had deep interest in the song and dedicated much time and energy to it. My impression was of a man excited and honored to be gifted with the opportunity to finally fulfill his own, and Michael’s, stated desire to create something new, special and exciting for the fans and the world.

We listened to the album twice and it was priceless to see everyone present dancing and loving the music. Michael’s voice is front and center throughout and the music compliments and supports that wonderful, unique, emotive voice. I have my favorites, as did everyone, and I can’t wait to hear them again. To be honest, I am not particularly fond of most remixes but these offerings have changed my mind. They are that good.

The next day we found ourselves at Sony in Los Angeles and our input was requested regarding the album, as well as, questions, comments and concerns. Fan desires are taken to heart, as well as, suggestions for promotion on a global scale. We were asked to pick one or two tracks that we particularly favored and our consensus matched the previously selected first single. I think anyone excited for this release will agree that this single is awesome and so very Michael.

The promotion planned will bring surprises and Sony is going all out on this part of the project. Sony President, Sylvia Rhone, was present, as well as, John Branca and Karen Langford. I will say that there is a solid commitment to do this right and we can expect world-wide promotion…big time!

I read a review recently that mentioned how this music holds the integrity and spirit of the original tracks as Michael left them. I found this to be most definitely the case and freely suggest the reader be prepared for an excursion into Michael’s music that is lovingly and respectfully presented by dedicated supporters of the man we all miss so much.

Enjoy!

das scheint ok zu werden

Jaaa, sehr ok was man bis jetzt so hört

Noch ein Monat und ich werd außer die Single versuchen vorher nichts zu hören...

das wird fehlschlagen

...Auch die Admin aus dem Malibu Fanklub wurde in die USA eingeladen und durfte Branca kennen lernen und durfte schon hören.Das scheibt sie auf FbNoch ein paar Infos, wo ich hier gerade hocke: Bei der slave to the rhythm Album-Version wurde der, aus der Sony Xperia Werbung bereits bekannte, Mix verwendet. Er klingt in seiner Gänze besser als das kurze Snippet aus dem Spot.Uns wurde auch gesagt, welches die erste Single sein wird. Das dürfen wir aber leider noch nicht verraten. Es ist auf alle Fälle eine riesige Promo-Kampagne geplant. Tolle Releases. Es wurde alles bis ins Detail geplant, viel Energie und Leidenschaft investiert.Interessant ist auch, dass L.A. Reid 2008 von Michael eingeladen wurde und sie über ein gemeinsames Projekt sprachen. Michael wollte mit ihm und Timbaland arbeiten. Außerdem wurden ausschließlich die Demos verwendet, die komplette MJ Vocals beinhalten. Das fand ich sehr wichtig. Branca erwähnte auch nochmal, dass sie nie wieder Cascio Songs verwenden würden.Leute, glaubt bitte den ganzen Mist nicht, der über Branca erzählt wird. Er ist einer der nettesten und normalsten Menschen, die ich je getroffen habe. Er tanzte mit mir zum neuen Song Chicago und legte eine flotte Sohle auf's Parkett er vergoss Tränen als er über Michael sprach. Ich bin tief beeindruckt...
