New Michael Jackson track Don't Be Messin' Around from #1 single I just can't stop loving you
On Tuesday, June 5th The Estate of Michael Jackson and SONY Music Entertainment will re-release the first #1 single from BAD, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", with a previously unreleased bonus demo track from the BAD sessions titled, "Don't Be Messin' 'Round".
This special single re-release will not be released digitally; it is only available on CD at Wal-Mart.com, Wal-Mart stores in the U.S. and at other locations worldwide.
"Don't Be Messin' Round" was re-discovered in Michael Jackson's personal vault during the research process for BAD 25, the 25th anniversary edition of BAD available September 18th.
The never-before-released tracks on the album, will be unfinished and unpolished.
“One of the main intentions is to show that these are works in progress," Matt Forger, a sound engineer and longtime Michael Jackson friend and collaborator, told The Atlantic. "To pull the curtain back. To actually see Michael in his natural work environment, how he directs, his sense of humor, his focus.”
“You can just hear him having fun," Forger added. "His spirit and emotion are totally there. He knew in demos he didn't have to be totally perfect in his execution. So he'd be loose. He'd throw in ad libs and dance or sing or pop his fingers or clap his hands. You just hear him enjoying himself.”
