Neues Album: "Michael" 10. Dezember 2010 // Album komplett geleaked !

    Also, Blue Gangsta finde ich richtig klasse! Finde nicht, dass da keine Melodie drin ist. Ich finde, der Song hört sich an, wie eine Geschichte, die Michael nicht nur mit dem Text, sondern auch mit dem Sound erzählt - und Geschichten sind manchmal rasant, manchmal langsam, dann wieder spannend, ruckartig, erschreckend, sanft, rhythmisch, still, laut ... . Zwischendurch wird er wütend und aggressiv, dann wieder sanft und traurig - sehr facettenreich. All diese Gefühle kommen aus dem Song herausgesprudelt!! Und seine Schreistimme macht mir totale Gänsehaut. Geht mir durch Mark und Bein! :ehre:ehre:ehre

    This album really is off the wall


    Elisa Bray hears the record Michael Jackson never got to complete


    Thursday, 2 December 2010


    Just when it seemed Michael Jackson had finally been left to rest in peace, out comes his first studio album in nine years.


    It is 18 months since Jackson's death and a year since the release of his last album This Is It. That release, which featured a handful of unreleased tracks, was a bestseller and Michael, which comes out on Monday will, of course, follow suit – it is already top of all the digital charts on iTunes, Amazon, HMV and Play.com on pre-orders alone. Yesterday it was played to a handful of journalists for the first time.


    The project took shape when the producers and collaborators – including Akon, 50 Cent and Lenny Kravitz – took 10 unfinished songs by Jackson and completed them. The late star's vocals are more prominent in some songs than others, but the good ones take the listener straight back to his hits, although "Hollywood Tonight" is overloaded with production. With a beat-boxing and marching groove throughout, Jackson's vocals are layered with a spoken bridge added by Teddy Riley and a whistling refrain.


    It's followed by the softer "Keep Your Head Up", featuring Jackson's high-pitched vocals. Questions have surrounded Michael since its announcement, notably over the authenticity of his vocals on the first official single "Breaking News", a duet with Akon, which was leaked as an unfinished track in 2008. What is clear is that a lot has changed in the nine years since Jackson's last studio album, Invincible, thanks to the slick work of producers like Mark Ronson and Will.I.Am – who has been vocal in his criticism of the whole project.


    But here, a couple of the tracks are so over-produced that, with all the backing vocals, you can barely hear Jackson's voice. The album is best regarded as a compilation, jumping as it does from Jackson's gentler anthemic numbers to stomping "Billie Jean"-style tracks, such as the stand-out "Monster", featuring 50 Cent.


    "(I Can't Make It) Another Day" was written by Lenny Kravitz, recorded as a demo and leaked in 2008. Another track was written by Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto for Yellow Magic Orchestra. Jackson is said to have loved it so much he asked to re-write it with new lyrics.


    Only one of the tracks on the album was fully completed by Jackson (back in the Thriller era), the album's closer, "Much Too Soon". It could explain why some of the songs seem to simply fade away, without any proper endings, rather like the man himself.

    Donnerstag, 2. Dezember, 2010


    Gerade als es schien Michael Jackson endlich überlassen worden, in Frieden ruhen, heraus kommt sein erstes Studioalbum seit neun Jahren.


    Es ist 18 Monate her, seit Jacksons Tod und ein Jahr seit der Veröffentlichung seines letzten Albums This Is It. Das Release, das eine Handvoll unveröffentlichte Tracks erscheinen, wurde ein Bestseller und Michael, die heraus kommt am Montag wird natürlich folgen - es ist bereits Anfang der alle digitalen Karten auf iTunes, Amazon, HMV und Play.com auf Vorbestellungen allein. Gestern war es eine Handvoll Journalisten zum ersten Mal gespielt.


    Das Projekt Gestalt annahm, wenn die Produzenten und Mitarbeiter - darunter Akon, 50 Cent und Lenny Kravitz - 10 unfertige Songs von Jackson fand und vollendete sie. Der verstorbene Star's Vocals sind noch ausgeprägter in einigen Songs als andere, aber die Guten nehmen den Hörer sofort wieder auf seine Hits, obwohl "Hollywood Tonight" mit der Produktion überlastet ist. Mit einer Beat-Boxing und marschieren in Nut sind Jacksons Gesang mit einer gesprochenen Brücke geschichteten hinzugefügt von Teddy Riley und ein Pfeifen zu unterlassen.


    Es ist durch die weichere "Keep Your Head Up" folgte, mit Jacksons schrillen Gesang. Fragen haben Michael seit ihrer Ankündigung umgeben, insbesondere über die Echtheit der seine Vocals auf die erste offizielle Single "Breaking News", ein Duett mit Akon, die als eine unfertige Titel im Jahr 2008 ausgelaufen war. Klar ist, dass eine Menge hat in den neun Jahren seit dem letzten Studio Jacksons Album Invincible, dank der glatten Arbeit von Produzenten wie Mark Ronson und Will.I.Am geändert - die seit Gesang in seiner Kritik des gesamten Projekts hat.


    Aber hier sind ein paar der Tracks so über-produziert, die mit all den Backing Vocals, können Sie kaum hören Jacksons Stimme. Das Album wird am besten als eine Kompilation angesehen, Springen, wie es funktioniert von sanfter hymnischen Jacksons Zahlen zu stampfen "Billie Jean"-Style Tracks, wie der Stand-out "Monster" mit 50 Cent.


    "(I Can't Make It) Another Day" wurde von Lenny Kravitz, als Demo aufgenommen und geschrieben durchgesickert im Jahr 2008. Ein weiterer Titel wurde vom japanischen Komponisten Ryuichi Sakamoto für Yellow Magic Orchestra geschrieben. Jackson soll geliebt habe es so sehr er aufgefordert, neu zu schreiben mit neuen Texten.


    Nur einer der Tracks auf dem Album wurde komplett von Jackson abgeschlossen (zurück in die Ära Thriller), ist das Album näher, "Much Too Soon". Es könnte erklären, warum einige der Songs einfach verschwinden, ohne richtige Endungen, ähnlich wie der Mann selbst zu sein scheinen.

    Exclusive (...*) review of Michael Jackson's new album by Clemmie Moodie, Daily Mirror 2/12/2010


    THE wait is over – and the biggest and most unlikely album of the decade is here.


    I’ve had the first ever listen to Michael Jackson’s new collection of tracks, compiled 17 months after he died.


    And the album, called Michael, is not half Bad - even if some of the vocals sound slightly less than Jackson-esque.


    MJ’s brother Randy has said it’s not Michael on the record but after having an earwig myself, I am satisfied it really IS Michael Jackson.


    His voice is unmistakable in the majority of tracks, including personal favourites, Monster and Hollywood Tonight. Now the late star, who died aged 50, is odds-on to trounce his rivals from beyond the grave.



    Yep, it’s game on between Take That and ***** as the Thriller star is tipped to land the No1 Christmas album slot.


    HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: “There’s a huge chance Michael will sneak in and get the top spot from Take That.


    “Take That have sold over one million copies already, but someone of Michael Jackson’s status, with his fanbase, has a massive chance of knocking them off. His fans are so excited – like Elvis it keeps adding to the MJ momentum.”


    You just can’t Beat It.

    denn ein 'track by track review" ists ja hier nicht.
    könnte sonst bissle verwirren ;D

    New Michael Jackson Song Premieres Exclusively on Ping


    Yet another single from Michael Jackson’s posthumous record, Michael, has hit the web and this time it can only be found in one place: on Apple’s newly minted social network, Ping.


    The release of “Much Too Soon” follows close on the heels of previous singles, “Hold My Hand,” which debuted on November 23 on Jackson’s official website, and “Breaking News,” which hit the web on November 8. Michael will be released December 14.


    “Breaking News” prompted a boatload of speculation among fans and family members that the song was not, in fact, sung by Jackson, impelling Epic Records to release a statement confirming the song’s authenticity.


    “Much Too Soon” has not been met with such derision; comments on Ping are largely positive, as are comments under the announcement on Jackson’s website.


    The song will be available in full on Ping for the entire week, yet is not currently up on Jackson’s own site. It’s an interesting move, considering Apple’s social network really has yet to fully take off among musicians and fans.


    For example, Jackson has 56,981 followers on Ping, while 24,786,370 Like the musician on Facebook and 259,746 follow him on Twitter. Naturally, both of these networks include plugs for the Ping placement, but it’s still an intriguing choice for such a high-profile release — although iTunes does offer a platform for purchase, the fans don’t seem to be flocking to the social network in droves.


    We’ve reached out to Epic Records for comment on the move.

    "Es ist eine gefährliche Sache , aus deiner Haustür hinauszugehen, du betrittst die Strasse, und wenn du nicht auf deine Füße aufpasst, kann man nicht wissen wohin sie dich tragen."

    *****'s new trackos are BAD



    WILL.I.AM, RED ONE and MARK RONSON all worked on MICHAEL JACKSON tracks before the King Of Pop died.


    But none of them appears on this dated 'new' album Michael, which has been completed since his death.


    There are a few tracks worth a listen but most are off-cuts from the dodgy 2001 record Invincible - and it shows.


    Overall it's pretty disappointing and not a patch on his era-defining albums Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad.


    I hope the Jackson estate leave any other unheard studio snippets alone after this release. It's out on December 14.


    Here's my track-by-track verdict.


    Hold My Hand - This first single from the album is a decent slice of pop- even though there are more of Akon's vocals (and his 'wooos' and yelps) on it than MJs.


    Hollywood Tonight - *****'s trademark beatboxing and whistling drive this track which has production from 80s RnB man TEDDY RILEY.


    Keep Your Head Up - Probably the best song on the album - this has a top notch beat from TRICKY STEWART, who was behind Single Ladies and Umbrella. It also has motivational lyrics, including the line "keeping your head up to the sky, keeping your wings so you can fly."


    (I Like) The Way You Love Me - A cheesy ballad originally recorded in 2004 is annoying from the first note. Like many of the songs on Michael it has very few actual lines of the star singing and lots of production and backing vocals to mask the faults.


    Monster Ft. 50 Cent - This is the star on paranoid form, angry with the media - as in his old songs Scream and Leave Me Alone. He sings: "Monster- he's like an animal/ I only wanna be a star" before asking "Why you stalking me?/ Why you haunting me." Fiddy's verse adds nothing to the song.


    Best Of Joy - One of the last songs Michael recorded before his death. He was set to finish it in London during his ill-fated This Is It shows. It's another dated and repetitive track.


    Breaking News - Paranoid nonsense which only showcases how self-obsessed the star was. The production is just atrocious. He sings "Everybody wanting a piece of Michael Jackson/ Reporters stalking the moves of Michael Jackson"

    (I Can't Make It) Another Day Ft. Lenny Kravitz     - A demo version of this uptempo song was leaked back in 2008 prompting Lenny to complete it. He got DAVE GROHL to play drums on the song and put his own backing vocals and old-school guitar solo on the track.


    Behind The Mask - The instrumental for this was originally recorded by a group called YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA and it's the most modern sounding-track on Michael. There is even a DAFT PUNK-like vocoder vocal. A sax solo almost spoils the fun.


    Much Too Soon - A short soppy ballad recorded during the sessions for Thriller. It's not bad but makes you yearn to hear classics like Baby Be Mine and Rock With You.


    Michael died in June 2009 just days before he was due to begin a residency at London's O2 Arena.


    He suffered a heart attack after being given two powerful sedatives by his personal doctor Conrad Murray.


    The Jackson family estate signed a £128million deal with Sony Music in March this year. It's thought the label will now release 10 different MJ albums over seven years, although most will be collections of material already available.

    Michael Jackson lifts lid on his demons from the grave
    Michael Jackson’s tortured life shortly before his death has been laid bare in the lyrics on his upcoming album.


    The superstar rails against the media, hangers-on, moneymen and his personal demons.


    Singing on his first posthumous album, called simply Michael, his haunting lyrics were played on British soil for the first time yesterday to Guilty Pleasures.


    It’s not long into the 43-minute, ten-track record before his insecurities surface.


    On Monster, featuring rapper 50 Cent, he hollers: ‘Everywhere you seem to turn there’s a monster. Paparazzi got you scared like a monster.’


    As question marks remain over his death last year, ***** sings: ‘And you’re running just to scape it. But they’re gunning for the money. It’s dragging you down like a monster.’


    He turns his attention to being under the media microscope on Breaking News.


    ‘The paparazzi will not leave him alone. Reporters stalking the moves of Michael Jackson. Everyone’s wanting a piece of Michael Jackson,’ he sings.


    Then, hinting at his own self loathing, the surgery addict sings: ‘Just look in the mirror and tell me if you like what you see.’


    R&B star Akon, who duets with ***** on new single Hold My Hand, out on Sunday, said: ‘The world was not ready to hear Hold My Hand when it leaked a couple of years ago. Now in its final state, it has become an incredible, beautiful, anthemic song.’


    The album is released on December 15.

    bin ich froh, dass ich auf solche 'einschätzungen' und 'reviews' NICHTS gebe.
    ich erlaube mir grundsätzlich, eine eigene meinung zu bilden.
    ob das nun klamotten, filme oder musik betrifft.
    und ziemlich oft ists der fall, dass meine meinung/einschätzung
    zu nem recht anderen ergebnis kommt. :P



    musik ist nunmal geschmackssache.
    und dass ein von fremden leuten zusammen- und fertiggestelltes album eben anders is,
    als sei es von a bis z von michael gestaltet worden, ist nunmal logisch.
    von daher sollte man von vornherein ETWAS anders auf dieses album zugehen.
    so man denn will. natürlich stehst jedem frei, das teil einfach nicht zu kaufen.
    von mir bekommts jedenfalls ne chance,
    denn mir gefällt, bis auf eine ausnahme, was ich bislang mitbekommen habe. :cool
