Thriller 25

MJNO Reviews Thriller 25 Remixes
Review update: 8.50PM GMT 14/12

My wording for the "Deluxe" edition is a little off - some have construed this as meaning the edition being released only in Europe. I don't believe this to be the case - the information I was given was simply that it will be limited, and that europe will get 1 run. This is likely the case for other regions of the world, too.

There have been some questions about other singles. They did say that there's always the possibility of releasing the others as singles, provided there's enough demand.

Some have asked about Fergie doing Beat It. It doesn't seem like this is the case, unless it is a work in progress that has not yet made it to final decision. As of right now, I've seen no indication that Fergie will be included in the release, and it was not at all mentioned.

I was privileged today to attend an exclusive playback of the new remixes from Michael Jackson's upcoming Thriller 25 release, at the Sony BMG offices in London.

Unfortunately there was no one on hand to answer some of the more detailed questions I had to ask, but I was able to get some basic information about the release, and listened to 3 runs of the new remixes of "The Girl is Mine", with will.i.am, "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'", with Akon, and the remastered, "For All Time" - the Kanye West version of Billie Jean was unavailable.

The Demo Disc

THE RELEASE

There are 4 different versions of the release - the standard version, which comes with 2 different sets of at work ("Zombie" and "Classic"), and a more expensive hard-bond, 'book-style' "Deluxe" version, which will be limited to 1 european run (of which the UK should get about 20,000). These come with the audio disc, and DVD, and will feature a nice holographic cover.

Also, a 12" vinyl will be available as a gatefold double LP.

These will be produced into next year, and after that point 'Thriller 25' will be available as a "standard" album, without the DVD, featuring the classic cover.

THE SINGLE

As we all know by now, will.i.am's "The Girl is Mine" will be the single released from the edition -- it will be out for digital purchase January 14, and available on CD 2 weeks later. It will feature 3 tracks, one of which may be a demo (though this is as of yet unconfirmed). There are no more details available on the contents of the single.

A video is as of yet unconfirmed, and from what I made out, nothing like this is in the pipeline just yet.

WORLDWIDE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

In Sony's presser, they've touted a "worldwide advertising campaign" to launch the release, and they're going the full mile with this - TV advertisements, billboards, posters. We can expect TV ads the Sunday before release, and they've plenty more ideas in mind to do some unique things to launch.

Radio play should take place at least a couple of weeks before launch, so we may have some of these blasting out of our speakers in just a months time.

THE SONGS

The Girl is Mine (running time: 3m12s)

will.i.am's exciting version of "The Girl is Mine" features a funky, bassful hip-hop styled beat, that Will might very describe as being a "club banger". Noteworthy is its use of what might very well be a trash can, giving it a truly unique sound.

This track is much more than a classic remix - Will and Michael have made it a song in its own right, with Will accompanying Michael on the chorus, following "the girl is mine...", with a rhythmic "she mine, she mine" -- and "don't waste your time...", with "your time, your time". Will also interjects with rap-styled vocals: "She likes the way I rock, the-way-I-rock".

Paul McCartney is nowhere to be found on this track, with Will playing "the other guy", who instead of bickering with Michael (as in the classic track), makes a "comeback" with a rap verse nearing the end. The song is more collaborative than the original, which features Michael and Paul arguing back and fourth -- in this version Will is very much a part of Michael's vocals, and vice versa.

You're going to notice a different cut of vocals from Michael for this track. They're not brand-new, though some of the ad-libs questionably may very well be, though it's hard to discern considering the thousands of vocal cuts that must exist in Michael's collection. It's very exciting to hear though, because brand-new or not, they're still new, in that they're being released for the first time just now.

All in all it's an excellent track that you won't be able to resist the urge to bob your head to. The hard beat and funky sounds, accompanied by Michael's incredible vocals and Will's unique rap style are undoubtably going to put it on the top of the club charts.

Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' (running time: 4m14s)

The big question everyone has been asking is: Is this the same song I've heard on YouTube? The answer: Yes. Sorta.

Akon's vocals are very much the same as the "leaked" version, which I'd have to assume is a demo. The actual Thriller 25 version is much fuller, and features some of Michael's classic vocals, and a verse from the original song.

It doesn't seem to contain any different vocals from Michael, unlike "The Girl is Mine", though Michael's verse seems to start off a little 'differently' and yet immediately reverts back to the way I've heard it a thousand times. This may be something to do with the mixing, or perhaps they included that little twist just to give it a fresher sound.

It's generally a very smooth track, with a nice piano accompaniment, and what might just be an extremely soft backing by Michael, though it's hard to tell. "Mamma say mama sah ma ma ku sah" features a heavy, hard bass sound, that's sure to knock off a few pictures from the wall at full blast - it's bit of an escape from the underlying soulful sound, which slowly evaporates into what one can only describe as a dance track.

Overall I think it's a great song, but this is probably dependent on your taste for Akon. If you don't like Akon you're not going to like this track, plain and simple - a decision which I know many have made already!

For All Time (running time: 4m4s)

"For All Time" was leaked at least a year, maybe 2 years ago, and this version is not much different, but it is different. Clearly it has been remastered for this release, with a much crisper, clearer sound, bringing out Michael's vocals far more than the "original".

It features a different bridge than the one we all know, more vocal than the original, which most likely is from another cut. If you're a fan of this track already, then you're going to love this version, which sounds more fuller and more complete, but is still very much the same.

Paul (MJNO )

das fergie scheinbar nicht mit von der partie ist find ich gut

Ist ja geil. Auf die Single freue ich mich wirklich riesig.

Ein Video ist also "noch nicht in der Pipeline". Aber kann ja noch werden.

bin auch total gespannt auf das neue ( ) the girl is mine so geil !!!

Zitat

There's no Fergie.

I may have some more information to post soon, but for now, that's all I have. Coming are some more graphics of the release.

These remixes are really something else, especially "The Girl is Mine", and considering Michael was personally on board for this project, he obviously doesn't seem to think he's messing with his own songs, and who would know better than Michael Jackson on the issue of Michael Jackson songs?

You guys are really going to love "The Girl is Mine", it's its own song - it's just incredible.

THE SINGLE

As we all know by now, will.i.am's "The Girl is Mine" will be the single released from the edition -- it will be out for digital purchase January 14, and available on CD 2 weeks later. It will feature 3 tracks, one of which may be a demo (though this is as of yet unconfirmed). There are no more details available on the contents of the single.

Dieses könnte durchaus bedeuten, dass wir noch weitere Unreleased Songs zu hören bekommen werden.

New Single And More!

MJWN have attended an exclusive hearing of three songs from Michael’s forthcoming 25th Anniversary Edition of Thriller.

The three tracks played at Sony BMG’s headquarters in London were ‘The Girl Is Mine’ performed by Michael and Will.I.Am, ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’’ performed by Akon and the un-released track ‘For All Time’. Below is a review of what we heard and some never before released details.

THE SINGLE:

‘The Girl Is Mine’ - We can exclusively reveal that ‘The Girl Is Mine’ will be released as a digital single on January 14th, followed two weeks later on January 28th by a three track CD version.

The song, credited as a remix by Michael Jackson and Will.I.Am, has a heavy beat and Paul McCartney’s vocals from the original song have been removed. New unheard vocals from Michael also appear at the end of the song. The song is just over three minutes in length. It’s absolutely FANTASTIC and could easily be a number one single. Probably the best re-mix to be given to a Michael song.

‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’’ – Akon has given this classic song a new modern touch. It’s predominately a cover (rather than remix) with Michael providing backing vocals and one verse.

‘For All Time’ – This is a wonderful ballad with loads of emotion driving through it. Many know that it has unfortunately been leaked in the past. For those who have heard this version around the Internet, this is the same version but re-mastered to sound brilliant as well as featuring a bridge in the song that has previously not been heard. The song is just over four minutes in length.

THE ALBUMS:

The album will be released in four different ways:

Classic CD Edition:
This will be an audio CD featuring the tracklist as per the Press Release. It will have a cardboard slip on case with the traditional ‘Thriller’ picture. The only twist will be that it is a holographic cover.

Zombie CD Edition:
The content is identical to the Classic Edition, but has the famous picture of Michael with the zombies around him as the slip on case display. This will also be a holographic cover.

Deluxe Limited Edition:
This comes as a hardbound book, containing the same CD and DVD as above. However it will also come with a booklet containing more photos and extra content. This will be limited to only 20,000 copies.

12” Vinyl:
The album will be released as a gatefold double LP. A must have for all collectors!

PROMOTION:

As well as planned posters and radio advertising, the album will get a thirty second TV advert; the first time ‘Thriller’ has ever been advertised on TV. The advertisements are due to start on February 11th.

The single ‘The Girl Is Mine’ will get its first radio airplay on the same day as the digital release, January 14th.

The Classic and Zombie CD Editions, with an audio CD and DVD, will be printed up to near the end of 2008. They then plan to revert to just the audio version of the CD being sold.

Das MJWN (Michael Jackson World Network)sowie Paul (Gründer des Forums MJNO) hatten heute die Gelegenheit in einige Tracks des im Februar erscheinenden Albums (Thriller - 25th Anniversary Edition) reinzuhören.
Die erste Single The Girl Is Mine 2008 (mit will.i.am) wird am 14. Januar im Internet veröffentlicht. Zwei Wochen später wird es den Song auch als CD zu kaufen geben. Es sollen neue Vocals und Ad-Libs enthalten sein.
Der Remix zu Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' soll einen komplett neuen Vers enthalten.

Neue Single und Mehr!
MJWN durften heute in drei Songs von Michaels demnächst erscheinenden Album 'Thriller 25th Anniversary Edition' reinhören.

The three tracks played at Sony BMG’s headquarters in London were ‘The Girl Is Mine’ performed by Michael and Will.I.Am, ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’’ performed by Akon and the un-released track ‘For All Time’. Below is a review of what we heard and some never before released details.
Die drei Tracks, die ihnen in den Sony BMG Headquarters in London vorgespielt wurden, waren 'The Girl Is Mine' (mit Michael und Will.I.Am), 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'' (mit Akon) und den unveröffentlichten Track 'For All Time'. Lest nun unseren Bericht und informiert euch über bisher unbekannte Details.

THE SINGLE:
DIE SINGLE:

‘The Girl Is Mine’ - We can exclusively reveal that ‘The Girl Is Mine’ will be released as a digital single on January 14th, followed two weeks later on January 28th by a three track CD version.
'The Girl Is Mine' - Wir können exklusiv bekanntgeben, dass 'The Girl Is Mine' am 14. Januar als digital release veröffentlicht wird. 2 Wochen später, am 28. Januar, wird der Song auch als CD erhältlich sein.

The song, credited as a remix by Michael Jackson and Will.I.Am, has a heavy beat and Paul McCartney’s vocals from the original song have been removed. New unheard vocals from Michael also appear at the end of the song. The song is just over three minutes in length. It’s absolutely FANTASTIC and could easily be a number one single. Probably the best re-mix to be given to a Michael song.
Der Song (der als Remix von Michael Jackson und Will.I.Am gelistet wird) hat einen massiven Beat und die Originalstimme von Paul McCartney wurde entfernt. Gegen Ende des Songs findet man neue Vocals von Michael. Der Song ist gut drei Minuten lang. Er ist absolut FANTASTISCH und hat gute Chancen, eine Nummer Eins Single zu werden. Es ist wahrscheinlich einer der besten Remixes eines Michael Jackson Songs.

‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ – Akon has given this classic song a new modern touch. It’s predominately a cover (rather than remix) with Michael providing backing vocals and one verse.
'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' - Diesem Song hat Akon einen neuen, modernen Touch gegeben.
Es handelt sich bei diesem Song eher um eine Coverversion (nicht so sehr um einen Remix). Michael steuert backing vocals und eine neue Strophe zum Song bei.

‘For All Time’ – This is a wonderful ballad with loads of emotion driving through it. Many know that it has unfortunately been leaked in the past. For those who have heard this version around the Internet, this is the same version but re-mastered to sound brilliant as well as featuring a bridge in the song that has previously not been heard. The song is just over four minutes in length.
'For All Time' - Das ist eine wundervolle Ballade mit sehr viel Gefühl.
Viele kennen den Song schon, da er leider bereits geleaked wurde. Denjenigen, die den Song bereits im Internet gehört haben sei gesagt, dass es sich dabei um den gleichen Song handelt. Jedoch wurde diese Version bearbeitet und eine andere, neue Bridge hinzugefügt. Der Song ist über vier Minuten lang.

Hier ein weiterer Bericht aus dem MJNO Message Board:

Paul got to hear 3 tracks, Will.I.Am's Girl Is Mine remix, Akon's Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' remix, and the For All Time remix.
Paul durfte sich 3 Tracks anhören, Will.I.Ams 'Girl Is Mine' Remix, Akons 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'' Remix und den Remix zu 'For All Time'.

They didn't play Kanye West's remix.
Der Remix von Kanye West wurde nicht vorgespielt.

Paul will write up a full report when he gets home but he had this to say so far:
Paul wird einen kompletten Bericht schreiben, wenn er Zuhause ist, doch folgendes konnte er schon bekanntgeben:

The 'Girl Is Mine' remix will be released on January 14th, as a digital release. A week later, it will be released on CD. Paul confirmed there are different Michael vocals, and new ad-libs. It's obviously hard to tell if they are brand new (recorded in the last few months), but they are definately different to the original!
Der 'Girl Is Mine' Remix wird am 14. Januar als digital release veröffentlicht. Eine Woche später wird es den Song auch auf CD zu kaufen geben. Paul bestätigte, dass es in dem Song neue Michael Vocals und Ad-Libs geben wird. Natürlich ist schwer zu sagen, ob diese nun brandneu sind (also in den letzten Monaten aufgenommen) oder nicht, klar ist jedoch, dass sie sich vom Original unterscheiden!

The 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' remix has Michael singing a brand new verse in the song.
Im 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' Remix singt Michael einen brandneuen Vers.

The 'For All Time' remix has been digitally remastered, it is crisper and has a different bridge but as far as he could tell, that is it.
'For All Time' wurde digital bearbeitet. Der Song ist nun viel klarer und enthält eine andere Bridge. Mehr konnte er dazu nicht sagen.

[...]Am Sonntag vor der Veröffentlichung können wir mit TV Werbung rechnen, und sie [Sony, anm.] haben noch viel mehr einzigartige Dinge vor.

Radio play should take place at least a couple of weeks before launch, so we may have some of these blasting out of our speakers in just a months time.

THE SONGS

The Girl is Mine (running time: 3m12s)
The Girl is Mine (Gesamtzeit: 3m12s)

will.i.am's exciting version of "The Girl is Mine" features a funky, bassful hip-hop styled beat, that Will might very describe as being a "club banger". Noteworthy is its use of what might very well be a trash can, giving it a truly unique sound.
will.i.ams tolle Version von 'The Girl Is Mine' enthält einen funkigen, sehr bass-lastigen Hip Hop-mäßigen Beat, den Will wahrscheinlich als einen 'Club Banger' bezeichnen würde. Erwähnenswert ist auch, dass ein Geräusch verwendet wird, das wie ein trash can klingt, was dem ganzen einen einzigartigen Sound verleiht.

This track is much more than a classic remix - Will and Michael have made it a song in its own right, with Will accompanying Michael on the chorus, following "the girl is mine...", with a rhythmic "she mine, she mine" -- and "don't waste your time...", with "your time, your time". Will also interjects with rap-styled vocals: "She likes the way I rock, the-way-I-rock".
Dieser Track ist mehr als nur ein klassischer Remix - Will und Michael haben daraus einen eigenen, neuen Song gemacht. Will begleitet Michael beim Refrain indem er 'the girl is mine...' mit einem rhythmischen 'she mine, she mine' ergänzt -- sowie 'don't waste your time...' mit 'your time, your time'. Will wirft auch immer rap-ähnliche Vocals ein: 'She likes the way I rock, the-way-I-rock'.

Paul McCartney is nowhere to be found on this track, with Will playing "the other guy", who instead of bickering with Michael (as in the classic track), makes a "comeback" with a rap verse nearing the end. The song is more collaborative than the original, which features Michael and Paul arguing back and fourth -- in this version Will is very much a part of Michael's vocals, and vice versa.
Paul McCartneys Part ist in dem Song nicht mehr vorhanden. Will spielt 'den anderen Typen', der -nicht wie in der klassischen Version- sich mit Michael kabbelt sondern am Ende des Songs mit einem gerappten Vers eher eine Art 'comeback' kreiert. Bei dem Song kommt die Zusammenarbeit viel mehr zum tragen als im Original, in dem Michael und Paul ja durchweg streiten -- in dieser Version ist Will eher ein Teil von Michaels Vocals und umgekehrt.

You're going to notice a different cut of vocals from Michael for this track. They're not brand-new, though some of the ad-libs questionably may very well be, though it's hard to discern considering the thousands of vocal cuts that must exist in Michael's collection. It's very exciting to hear though, because brand-new or not, they're still new, in that they're being released for the first time just now.
Es wird einige neue Gesangsparts von Michael auf dem Track geben. Sie sind nicht brandneu, höchstens vielleicht einige der Ad-Libs[...]doch brandneu oder nicht - für uns sind sie sowieso neu, weil wir sie ja noch nie zuvor gehört haben.

All in all it's an excellent track that you won't be able to resist the urge to bob your head to. The hard beat and funky sounds, accompanied by Michael's incredible vocals and Will's unique rap style are undoubtably going to put it on the top of the club charts.
Alles in allem ist das ein exzellenter Track zu dem man sich einfach bewegen muss. Dieser harte Beat, die funkigen Sounds, begleichtet von Michaels unglaublicher Stimme und Wills einzigartigem rap-style werden diesen Song ohne Zweifel an die Spitze der Club Charts katapultieren.

Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' (running time: 4m14s)
Wanna Be Startin' Sometin' (Gesamtzeit: 4m14s)

The big question everyone has been asking is: Is this the same song I've heard on YouTube? The answer: Yes. Sorta.
Die große Frage, die sich alle gestellt haben war folgende: Ist das der selbe Song, den wir bei YouTube gehört haben? Die Antwort lautet: Ja. Ziemlich.

Akon's vocals are very much the same as the "leaked" version, which I'd have to assume is a demo. The actual Thriller 25 version is much fuller, and features some of Michael's classic vocals, and a verse from the original song.
Akons Vocals entsprechen ziemlich der 'geleakten' Version (ich denke, dass es sich dabei um die Demo handelt). Die eigentlicher Thriller 25 Version ist viel voller und enthält auch einige Vocals von Michael von der Originalversion. Auch ein Originalvers des Songs ist enthalten.

It doesn't seem to contain any different vocals from Michael, unlike "The Girl is Mine", though Michael's verse seems to start off a little 'differently' and yet immediately reverts back to the way I've heard it a thousand times. This may be something to do with the mixing, or perhaps they included that little twist just to give it a fresher sound.

It's generally a very smooth track, with a nice piano accompaniment, and what might just be an extremely soft backing by Michael, though it's hard to tell. "Mamma say mama sah ma ma ku sah" features a heavy, hard bass sound, that's sure to knock off a few pictures from the wall at full blast - it's bit of an escape from the underlying soulful sound, which slowly evaporates into what one can only describe as a dance track.
Alles in allem ist das ein sehr ruhiger Track mit einer schönen Klavierbegleitung und evtl. einer sehr sehr sanften Begleitung von Michael. [...]"Mamma say mama sah ma ma ku sah" hat einen schweren, harten Bass Sound [...] ein bisschen wie eine Flucht aus dem zugrundeliegenden souligen Sound, der sich langsam zu einem Dance Track entwickelt.

Overall I think it's a great song, but this is probably dependent on your taste for Akon. If you don't like Akon you're not going to like this track, plain and simple - a decision which I know many have made already!
Für meine Begriffe ist das ein sehr schöner Song, aber das hängt wahrscheinlich davon ab, ob man Akon mag oder nicht.[...]

For All Time (running time: 4m4s)
For All Time (Gesamtzeit: 4m4s)

"For All Time" was leaked at least a year, maybe 2 years ago, and this version is not much different, but it is different. Clearly it has been remastered for this release, with a much crisper, clearer sound, bringing out Michael's vocals far more than the "original".
'For All Time' wurde ja bereits vor 1-2 Jahren geleaked, und diese Version ist nicht sehr anders als die, die man kennt. Aber ein bisschen anders ist sie schon. Offensichtlich wurde der Song für die Veröffentlichung bearbeitet, der Sound ist viel klarer und rein, sodass Michaels Gesangspart viel mehr herauskommt als im 'Original'.

It features a different bridge than the one we all know, more vocal than the original, which most likely is from another cut. If you're a fan of this track already, then you're going to love this version, which sounds more fuller and more complete, but is still very much the same.
Außerdem ist eine andere Bridge enthalten, anders als die, die wir kennen. Auch ist mehr Gesang enthalten. Wenn ihr den Song sowieso schon gemocht habt, dann werdet ihr diese Version lieben, denn sie klingt viel voller und einfach vollendet, dennoch ist sie derjenigen, die wir bereits kennen, sehr ähnlich.

Leute... Mann... Das ist ja fast wie vor Vince, nur irgendwie unbeschwerter... Oh Mann... WIE GEIL!!!!

jajajjaaajaaaaaaa geil ist das

whoaaa das hört sich nach ner geilen promotion an endlich wird jeder ob er es will oder nicht davon hören
so wie der song beschrieben ist muss das ein knaller werden und im radio auf dauerschleife laufen .. oh happy day oh happy day.. hihi

Zitat von Glove

wieso unbeschwerter?

was war denn an der situation vor vince anders? oder angespannter?

Der Druck war riesig und die Erwartungen EXTREM hoch. Bei Thriller 25 ist's relaxter. Wir erwarten kein neues Album, keine Mega-Hits. Nur ein kleines bissl extra. Und es sieht so aus, als ob wir was richtig tolles kriegen.
Ich bin jedenfalls total happy.

Zitat von Been Told

Wir erwarten kein neues Album, keine Mega-Hits.

sag sowas nie wieder

For All Time ist ein absolut gigantischer Song.
Für die Charts ... möglicherweise nicht. Aber wer weiß.
