Michael Jackson's Xscape


Listening and grooving to Michael Jackson's latest release- "Xscape" on the way to work....While his first posthumous release-'Michael" was a bit of a disapointment...
 
This music here is a glimpse of the Micheal Jackson album I was waiting for after "Thriller" and" Bad" that he failed to deliver...
 
Except for "Love Never Felt so Good" which was recorded in 1983...Most of these songs here were recorded in between "Bad" and "Dangerous"....
 
Stand out songs are "Chicago" , "Loving You", "Place With No Name" and "Do you know where your children are?" (Wish he could have chosen a different name for that song, but it rocks just the same..)  
 
Good stuff here.... I said back in 2009, before his untimely death that MJ had one more great album like "Thriller" in him...and here is a glimpse of what might have been.

Cousin, you have excellent musical discernment! I'm not up to date with my music choices (give me Luther, Anita, Roberta, Sade, ReRe, Seal, Smokey, Teddy any time) but this one I like.

Funny- Tom Joyner and his radio group were discussing this music this morning, comparing it with Prince's new release. Tom was not pleased with Prince. What's your take???




KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
