L.A. Reid confirms plans for 'really special' Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber collaboration.

 

Remastered 'Slave to the Rhythm' duet is coming!? :o

It'll probably be for the next single release.

How on earth can it be 'really special' when the two (likely - I obviously don't know, but MJ died before JB was famous) never met each other?! I've not listened to Xscape and don't particularly plan to but I find it ridiculous that they're STILL milking Michael dry of all he's worth.

I completely agree Theo. There's a reason Michael didn't put these songs out in the first place!

Every artist records shed loads of material that can easily be remastered and fit for release at any point. Yes it's a cash in, but it's not impossible or bizarre. (P.s. coming from just a casual fan of MJ, 'XSCAPE' is very good!)

I'm loving this album so much after a few listens! :wub:

 

The highlights for me are: 'A Place With No Name', 'Chicago' & 'Do You Know Where Your Children Are?' :heart:

Do You Know Where Your Children Are has to be amongst one of the most ill-thought titles ever.

 

I don't think the Justin Timberlake collaboration is very special at all, so I probably won't be checking the album out. Shame, as he has an essential back catalogue as we all know.

I don't really get the criticisms of releasing posthumous material. It may be weaker than the old stuff, if you think that then just don't listen to it. It doesn't detract from the quality of the material released during his life. The unreleased music is being put out for the fans who clearly want to hear this stuff - it may be a 'cash in' but at the end of the day that 'cash' is from people who want to hear this. If they didn't then they wouldn't buy it and then they'd probably stop releasing it.

Okay I take it back - this album is actually AMAZING

 

The solo version of Love Never Felt So Good is the best thing he's done for about 27 years.

 

The ending really does give me goosebumps every time <3

It seems that it will be the next single. It sounds much better than "Love Never Felt So Good".
