Posted November 9, 201014 yr VfA4eLjsO20 A previously unheard Michael Jackson song has premiered online. 'Breaking News' can be heard in full on the late singer's official website. The track was recorded in New Jersey in 2007 and completed recently. Its writing and production credits are currently unknown. It will appear on Jackson's upcoming posthumous album of all-new material, Michael", which is scheduled for release on December 13 Edited November 9, 201014 yr by Big Mistake
November 9, 201014 yr Author In my opinion it just sounds like a leftover from Michael's Jackson's 2001 album 'Invincible'. In case anyone wants to keep Michael Jackson's legacy untouched, they should stop releasing tracks unless they are 100% genius, otherwise they would be just damaging him.
November 9, 201014 yr Lyrically, it's very 'Piece Of Me' by Britney Spears with the name check. "everybody's wanting a piece of Michael Jackson" or "i'm mrs oh my God that Britney, shameless (you want a piece of me)". The chorus to 'Breaking News' isn't bad, just a bit on the flat side. Then again, 'This Is It' had a really flat chorus. The problem with this tack is that it lacks the killer hook that makes the song instant and recognisable. 'Billie Jean', 'Beat It', 'Bad', 'Black Or White' (hmm, more MJ song titles beginning with "B" :D ) all have those killer hooks and melodies that make the song. 'Breaking News' quite simply doesn't.
November 9, 201014 yr It's a pretty good song tbh, but nothing ground breaking and it wouldn't be a hit imo. I don't think it's a single anyway
November 10, 201014 yr This isn't actually being released as a single. I'm moving it to pop, and it should probably be merged with the existing thread... For the record I like it but it would be top 10 at best.
November 10, 201014 yr Glad it won't be the single, it's just average really. Not enough impact to get people's attention for long.
November 10, 201014 yr I think it's great. Like I said in the other thread it's just an unreleased track they dug up and polished off so of course it's not going to be Billie Jean pt. 2, and he might not have ever had any intention of actually releasing it, but it is what it is and I can't wait for the album :)
