ZitatAlles anzeigenMichael Jackson's Xscape: Lovingly restored material brings back the King Of Pop
Largely comprised of songs recorded in the 90s and early 2000s, Xscape is a more cohesive album in comparison to 2010 offering "Michael."
Eight
previously unreleased songs have been (in the words of Executive
Producer L.A Reid) 'contemporized' by the likes of Timbaland, Stargate
and Rodney Jerkins. And
whilst the fresh 2014 production enhances that trademark MJ vocal, it
doesn't detract from the original song and the genius of Michael's
songwriting vision.
As the album begins, you're immediately transported back to the Thriller
era, thanks to an amazing 1983 disco groove called "Love Never Felt So
Good". With
its soulful vocal, infectious baseline and orchestral strings, it's a
song that screams 'Jackson classic' and it says a lot about influence
when you consider that it wouldn't sound out of place on the latest
Pharrell album.
I challenge anyone not to experience goosebumps after hearing "A Place With No Name"
a song layered with lush harmonies believed to have been recorded in
1998 and a song that deserves to played by radio stations worldwide.
Potential
single "Slave To The Rhythm" is a floor-filler for a new generation
whilst 1999's RnB soaked "She Was Lovin' Me" (originally considered for
the 2001 Invincible album) has echoes of "The Way You Make Me Feel."
Two other
songs, "Chicago" and "Blue Gangster" will also remind you of previous
Jackson offerings but both tracks benefit from newly enhanced production
and remind us of the fact that Michael was keen to remain relevant to
the emerging hip-hop generation.
But one of the
outstanding cuts on the "Xscape" album is a song called "12 O'Clock" or
"Do You Know Where Your Children Are" in which an emphatic Jackson
discusses family values and child abuse over a pulsating bass line and
guitar riff. Whilst
I'm not convinced the new production has added anything to the
original, it's still a song that will get everyone talking.
And as the album concludes with title track "Xscape" a sonic slice of
noughties electro-pop, I'm left satisfied that Michael's legacy will
endure thanks to a collection of carefully selected material, lovingly
re-engineered for millions of fans and new fans alike. There's a reason
he was called The King of Pop after all.

ZitatAlles anzeigenMichael Jackson's new album Xscape: How good is it?
[...] The first track bursts with flourishing strings, before layering on '80s
disco beats and crisp finger clicks. "The night is going to be just
fine," Michael assures us - and while the standard could never reach his
pop peak, the groove of the track is soaked in nostalgia. We should
probably note at this point that we don't know any titles for the tracks
yet, because they haven't been finalised.
Jackson practically
gave birth to the genre 'dirty-pop', and track two throws back to that
period when you wouldn't see him on stage without bolshy bass and
hip-pop beats. "She lied to you/ She lied to me," he proclaims in his
trademark growl, while the following cut is a flowing '80s-tinged
serenade with orchestral bursts and choral harmonies. While we've been
told that a range of producers such as Timbaland, Darkchild, Stargate
and Jroc have "contemporised" the original demos, it's clear that
they've also paid homage to the sound that turned MJ into a cultural
icon.
Most of Xscape nods back to the height of Jackson's pop appeal.
We haven't been told when each of the tracks originated from, but their
final form echoes MJ's holy trinity of albums Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad.
The fifth song we were played opens with computerized synths as the
star's iconic ad libs of "hee-hee" and "aaaow" smack you with
excitement. Echoed snare beats and a storming rawk guitar solo make it
one of the stand-out tracks, even if the chorus does hear him dubiously
ask: "Do you know where your children are?"
Track number six - which we identified as 'Slave to the Rhythm'
- begins with a massive string-led swoosh of scenic proportions, before
it completely drops into glitchy electronics and rattling beats. Its
shuffling groove marks it as classic MJ, making it yet another
highlight. Even better, Justin Bieber doesn't feature on the track after
that worrying leak of an alternative version back in 2013.
Quincy Jones may not have had a hand in the project, but the cinematic
quality to the songs demonstrates that the school of producers who made
contributions to this record have obviously been influenced by his
techniques. Song number seven - which might be called 'Blue Gangsta'
- opens with Bond Theme-styled strings and tinned beats, before hearing
Michael complain: "Look what you've done to me/ I can no longer smile."
Xscape's overarching narrative is what we've always loved
about Jackson; the superstar who is unlucky in love, but never doubts
its power.
The posthumous collection concludes with title track 'Xscape', which we know was originally written by Jackson and Rodney Jerkins during the Invincible
sessions. It's the only track which has been re-worked by its original
producer, and hears turn-of-the-millennium Jackson snarl over a mix of
'70s disco and '90s R&B. Its potential for some other-worldly
choreography is palpable, which provokes a sad tinge of what could've
been. [...]

Opinions from the listening party from UK website Pop Justice:
ZitatAlles anzeigenwow. I went feeling very sceptical, as I always am about posthumous albums but bloody hell I was surprised.
It's the album that Michael would've released in 2014 if he was still around. Some brilliant tracks and standout tracks were:
Xscape
Slave
Do You Know Where Your Children Are
Place With No Name - samples Way You Make Me Feel
but all eight tracks were great…
ZitatAlles anzeigen
I was going to write almost the exact same post - it's a very strong
album and much better than a posthumous release gets to be. You can
definitely hear the Timbaland influences in some of the tracks, but
they've definitely done a good job of retaining the authentic feel
while making it modern. Some similarities to the 20/20 Experience and
Bruno Mars, etc,. but then you remember quickly that these songs are
what inspired those albums and not vice versa.
Do You Know... is one of the strongest choruses on the album, and Xscape
feels very fresh. Slave To The Rhythm is a huge tune, but could have
used a bit more oomph - some upcoming remixes should take care of
that.
Impressed and pleasantly surprised!
ZitatAlles anzeigen
Two other tracks were Blue Gangster and Loving You… both were great.
Some people said the tracks sounded similar to each other at times
but I would call it cohesiveness rather than repetitive. There is only
8 tracks - but you knew that already, right?
Shame they're not just dropping it on iTunes tomorrow, it would get a
lot of press especially with it being April Fools Day. Perhaps they know
how good it is and are expecting rave reviews.
There was an air of surprise at the quality but I think that's because
of the previous album and also the fact people like Timbaland were
involved who can be quite hit and miss.
I am not a Bruno Mars fan AT ALL but I could easily imagine him
releasing some of these tracks and having huge success, just a shame
Michael's unlikely to get much airplay.
ZitatI imagine these tracks will be brand new to the wider public though.
The production and overall sound is so different to the demos too.
Also was delighted that there doesn't seem to be many parts with 'extra
vocals' from impersonators or session singers apart from one or two
small parts.
Always thought if they needed extra vocals they should've got a sister, brother or even 3T.
ZitatAlles anzeigenThe first track on the album was Love Never Felt So Good, very breezy production.
I agree that there was definitely surprise in the room at the quality of
the songs, and the enthusiasm went crescendo after the first couple
songs - the latter half of the album seemed more modern and punchy.
Couldn't single out a bad track, but I would say track 2 (forgot the
name) and maybe 3 were the weaker ones.
No tracklist coming for a little while either! But I'm sure it will be
all but clear from the inevitable blog reviews over the coming week.
Slave to the Rhythm sounds exactly like the snippet in that Xperia ad -
wish it had a bit more of a kick to it as the backing track is pretty
much constant the whole way through, but it's still a massive jam.
ZitatThis album SHOULD sell by the bucketload but i'm not sure if it actually will, especially as only eight tracks.
ZitatI do agree it should sell very well, and seems the plan is really to
go full blitz with the album across several platforms, so I think it
has a decent chance of doing so.

ZitatAlles anzeigenSony tie-up with Michael Jackson leaves fans wanting more
By Dylan Reynolds, CNN
February 24, 2014
Editor's note: Mobile World Congress is the world's largest mobile phone trade show looking at the current state of mobile and where it might go next. Watch CNN International's coverage live from Barcelona on 24 February to 28 February. Get the latest live updates from the event on CNN's liveblog.
Barcelona, Spain (CNN) -- Sony has announced a tie-up with the estate of Michael Jackson, allowing them to use his music to promote the release of a new smartphone. But the announcement left some Jackson fans unimpressed.
The previously-unreleased track "Slave to the Rhythm" featured as part of a 90-second video shown to journalists at the launch of the Xperia Z2 phone at the world's biggest mobile trade fair in Barcelona, Spain, on Monday.
A version of the song featuring Justin Bieber surfaced online in 2013, but the Jackson estate said the recording was not authorized, and insisted it be removed from YouTube and other sites.
A version of the song leaked online in 2010 following Jackson's death in 2009 from "acute propofol intoxication."
In a statement, Jackson's estate said: "The Estate of Michael Jackson and Epic Records are very excited about the partnership with Sony Mobile announced this morning at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
"We are thrilled with the use of the new solo Michael Jackson recording, "Slave To The Rhythm," which is featured in the 90 second online spot for the new Xperia Z2 phone."
man sollte nicht bei jeder ankündigung ein neues album erwarten.
Das ist nur der Anfang
das Album wird sicherlich kommen.
STTR könnte die erste Single werden, obs bei dem Ad-Remix von Timbaland bleibt werden wir sehen.
