专辑简介
I rarely feel like I’m the target audience for a product, but I’m almost positive Square’s The Mike We Like Remixes was specially created to reach my sector of the world population. My sector consists of people who like “Michael Jackson the Singer, Songwriter, and Performer” but don’t—despite the huge “Not Guilty” on the album cover—have much of an opinion about “Michael Jackson the Guy With the Glittery Socks and Strange Habits”. We’re the ones who enjoy Jackson’s solo albums, even MJ’s HIStory: Past, Present, Future, Book 1 collection (though it should have contained the song “Smooth Criminal”!). But we’re also the ones who draw the line at the reissues of Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous and their not-worth-the-money bonus features.
We will, however, entertain remixes. That’s where Square comes in, presenting 16 tracks—including audio snippets from producer extraordinaire Quincy Jones—aimed directly at people like me who like “Billie Jean” more than we like the latest headline about the adventures of “Wacko Jacko”. Unfortunately, it’s one thing to target the market; it’s another thing to satisfy that market. While the album’s concept is timely, the execution is lacking. With only seven Jackson classics on deck (that’s seven tracks out of 16!), the set travels lighter than it should. From the whole of Jackson’s discography, Square presents “Rock With You”, “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough”, “Billie Jean”, “Remember the Time”, “Rock My World”, “In the Closet”, and “Butterflies”. Worse, the remixes are mostly built around repetitive drum loops and flat synth chords. Square’s musical add-ons seem tacked on, creating chaos instead of melody, offering dissonance rather than harmony. At times, the result sounds like two radios are being played simultaneously—one plays Square’s drum programming and synth chords while the other plays the Mike we originally liked and wanted to hear.
Miami Beach, FL (By Michelle Uribe/ Public Wizard) - On June 6th, Mellotone Recordings is set to release 'The Mike We Like Remixes' album, produced by Square. Expect to hear a collection of the very best Michael Jackson classics carefully arranged over the soulful melodic beats of Square. Tracks include; Butterflies, Rock With You, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough, Billie Jean and more. Interludes include clips from an exclusive interview with the legendary Quincy Jones as he shares some of his thoughts on good profound music and the success of the undisputed 'King of Pop.'
Square is also in the stages of completing the album for R&B artist, Hassanah. They debuted her 12' single fall 2005 with steady movement leading up to the release of this project. Beyond the other projects he is working on through his record label, you'll also hear his production, mixing and mastering on the Basic Vocab album due out later this month.
