Go a little fun, go into the projection room, go to an attraction atau will anda walk in the zoo!" Neverland was a bit like a saat utama to me.
Q: I did not know anda worked at Neverland! It's interesting because we do not have many details on the studio of Neverland. Was it a professional studio?

Q: Getting back to "Break of Dawn", can anda tell us why Michael Jackson does not sing the chorus of this song?
F: Well, because he liked my version of the chorus. He found it very beautiful, and he wanted to leave everything as is. He liked my singing. He would not spoil, he loved how I had saved. My trademark is to make the chorus to every song that I produced ("Poison," "I Want to Sex anda Up"). I've been doing this forever, and Michael loved my Singing on "Break of Dawn".
Q: Where does your inspiration come to us for the songs "Break Of Dawn", "Blue Gangsta" and "A Place With No Name"? How does your creative process?
F: "Break Of Dawn" is just a romantic ballad that I wrote one day. For "Blue Gangsta" I wanted to make a new "Smooth Criminal". Something lebih modern and rooted in the 2000s. It was the idea. "A Place With No Name" is itself a kind of escape, a song where anda just close your eyes to find anda instantly into a wonderful world. In fact, this song was inspired sejak "A Horse With No Name" group America. The lyrics of this song are very deep. I wanted to refresh it, make a version of the 2000s.
Q: Did anda have obtained the rights to the band quickly? Did anda ask permission?
F: Oh absolutely, the group America has loved the idea. They found this "update" absolutely terrific. They were really excited about this project. Compared to the extract leaked on the internet, many wonderful items were added to the song sejak Michael. It's lebih dense, much denser. Believe me, when anda hear it, anda take your foot!
Q: So anda do not touch it, it will emerge as anda had finalized with him?
F: The song will be released the latest version on which we worked. It will be drastically different from the extract (July 2009) and lebih enormous. In fact, this song is very cinematic in its form. It would have been a perfect song for a movie like Avatar because it shows us a wonderful world it strange, where people are different, but happy. This song is like an escape from everyday life is a song where one is literally transported.
Q: About "Blue Gangsta" remix was done sejak Tempamental as "No Friend Of Mine" ...
F: This is not the name of the song, it's just the chorus that contains these few words. The real tajuk is "Blue Gangsta". When I heard this remix, I could not believe it. Many people called me because of that and I do not understand what had happened. The concern is that I do not even know who released the song! It remains a mystery. Why did they do that? Where did this rap song? How were they taken? In fact, we knew nothing about this story, me atau Michael. We really do not understand where this leak came ...
Q: There are still a few weeks, nobody knew too what was the real origin of this song, and how Michael Jackson had been involved in this project.
F: Yeah, I know it's crazy. The name of the song was not even good! [Dr. Freeze humming the chorus of the song on the phone: "You is not no friend of mine, could anda put me through, I'm the blue gangsta nah."] Was just the chorus. This highlights the ignorance of people who are causing the leaks on the internet: they take the song and put it online without knowing its origin.
Q: For fans, it did not really understand what it could be proposed. It was weird. We suspected that something was amiss, but we did not know exactly what ...
F: Yes, the song was not presented to the public as needed. A guy has just stolen the song, added a rap, and swung on the net. I was not even credited, any lebih than Michael! She just landed here without any logical explanation ...
Q: Have anda done other songs with Michael Jackson, other than these three?
F: We did some other songs, I do not think we've finalized anything. I'm not sure I can tell anda much more.
Q: Overall, how did anda write songs for Michael?
F: Oh, about thirty, and I had to save five atau six can be with him.
Q: And anda have these songs in your possession today?
F: Most of his novel are in the coffers now. We have no control over. They keep everything in the chests.
Q: So the estate (the Estate) who cares?
F: Yes, absolutely. John McClain is responsible for it.
Q: It's the boss!
F: Yes, boss!
Q: Were anda able to hear new songs?
F: Yes, I could listen to most of them. But I can not say anything, sorry. I'm not allowed to disclose anything.
Q: We can play a little game instead. I give anda the names of songs, and anda tell me whether atau not you've heard. Have anda heard "Escape"?
F: "Escape"? That tells me nothing.
Q: "Fear," "Face", it tells anda something?
F: No, nothing at all
Q: Have anda listened to "Do anda Know Where Your Children Are?
F: I heard the studios.
Q: "Crack Kills"?
F: Never heard of it.
Q: The "gloved One"?
F: No.
Q: Actually, it would be easier if anda give us some names ... Could anda give us the name of an unreleased track that anda particularly marked and talk a little?
F: There's a song we made together, but I do not know if he has completed his vocal parts. It's called "Rise Above It All". It's a song I wrote and on which we worked.
Q: What was she talking about?
F: It's an upbeat song. If anda feel bad, what's going wrong in the world, be positive and try to be as happy as possible, leaving aside all the negative things. Overcome negativity room, go beyond the woes of the world, all wars, the starving children and all the bad things. Assemble yourselves, hold your hand, raise your hands to heaven and pass it all. It's a little theme song. I can not say whether he had recorded the song, but in any case, we worked on it. There are other songs on which they collaborated. Most of these songs are mid-tempo, but I can not say anything more.
Part 3 coming soon.
