Michael Jackson - ''Xscape'' Anticipation/Discussion Thread

[Kevin]

actually now I am confused.

The file I downloaded has; She was loving me, which is a different song from Chicago despite Michael saying She was loving me in both songs. It has "She As Loving Me", "All I Need", "Was A Loser", "I Have A Dream", Instead of "Chicago" & "Loving You".

Are these tracks that I mentioned unreleased songs? I assume people just compiled leaked songs, but they are not the versions from the album.

Check this list out. It is kind of a interesting read when you check out all the songs. You will notice he originally recorded a lot of songs in the 80's and then sometimes he would re-work the song in 99-2003. Just like he did with Xscape in 99 and then again in 2003. I wonder if that means totally different recordings or him adding vocals to existing vocals. I assume a whole new recording because his voice would have been different. He seemed like 2Pac in regard to re-doing old songs but the time difference is larger.

Then there are several that say they are unfinished. Makes me wonder how they will get all those alternate recordings and unfinished songs out there. If its just a single chorus in some cases, I wonder if they will just never put that out on anything, give it to another artist, have someone else come in and sing around it. A lot of fans may hate that. Maybe another future boxset with cuts like those.

They said they chose the most complete songs for the Xscape album but I don't think they did. Several songs are just choruses and a little bridge. Some seem incomplete. Just has the chorus repeat over and over. I like all the songs on the album but makes you wonder why they chose these songs and why only 8 tracks? There has to be a lot of songs with more vocals then this.

Damn seems he loved that song, maybe that's why Leave Me Alone sounds a bit like it (also the 2014 remix of A Place With No Name)
