'Behind the Mask' is a song written and originally recorded by Japanese electronic band Yellow Magic Orchestra in 1978 and 1979 in Japan. In 1982, a cover version was recorded by American singer Michael Jackson for his album Thriller, but managerial disputes prevented its release.

His version has been recorded by Greg Phillinganes (1985) and Eric Clapton (1986).

On February 21, 2011, the song was released by Epic Records as the third single from the posthumous album Michael. The singer Shanice provides background vocals on the song.^[3]

Background and release[edit]

Quincy Jones heard Yellow Magic Orchestra's version during the Thriller sessions, and brought it to Michael Jackson, who had recorded the song, added an extra melody line and a few extra lyrics to Chris Mosdell's original. Mosdell has said of the collaboration, 'when Michael Jackson took it, he made it into a love song about a woman. It was a completely different premise to me, I was talking about a very impersonal, socially controlled society, a future technological era, and the mask represented that immobile, unemotional state. But hey, I let him have that one.^[4]' An agreement to share the royalties equally between Sakamoto, Mosdell and Jackson broke down when the management of Yellow Magic Orchestra disagreed^[4] and it prevented the song from being released on Jackson's sixth studio album, Thriller. It remained unreleased for 28 years.^[5]

However, as a part of Sony Music's 10 album recording deal with the Estate of Michael Jackson, the song was announced to be released on the posthumous album of Jackson's, titled Michael. It was also as a radio single not only in France, but also the United States, Canada, and Japan.^[6]

Critical reception[edit]

The song received mainly positive reviews from music critics. Jody Rosen from Rolling Stone called the song 'a fiercely funky cousin to 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' .'^[7] Dan Martin from NME thought the song was 'an absolute revelation, a swirl of psychedelic, orchestra-twinged R&B', and said 'Jackson howls a solid-gold melody at his fearsome best, and blippy production and robotic backing vocals dancing behind it.' ^[8] Jason Lipshutz with Gail Mitchell and Gary Graff from Billboard thought the song was 'a must-listen songs on Michael', and it 'holds the highest number of Jackson's signature 'hee-hee!' exclaims'.^[9] Joe Pareles from New York Times said, the song was originally a 1979 hit by Ryuichi Sakamoto’s group Yellow Magic Orchestra with Jackson's lyrics about a coldhearted woman, but the final version which was completed by Mr. McClain was mixed with applause and squeals from concert crowds from Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour DVD.^[2] Leah Greenblatt from Entertainment Weekly thought the song seemed 'oddly dated by sax flourishes — though perhaps that makes it a good companion to the lilting closer Much Too Soon, an actual relic of the early ’80s'.^[10] The author of the forthcoming book, Man in the Music: The Creative Life and Work of Michael Jackson, Joe Vogel thought John McClain's update to the song was skillful, making it sound brand new and retro at the same time. And he thought the song is 'definitely one of the highlights of the album'.^[11]

Music video[edit]

As the single release officially announced, a music video for this song was also announced to be released worldwide.^[6] On February 28, 2011, a project for this song's music video titled 'Behind the Mask Project' was announced: 'the Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music will provide everyone who likes music an opportunity to help create online a unique groundbreaking music video for the single 'Behind the Mask'.' All the world can use a simple online tool to take part in making the music video since March 7, 2011.^[12] On March 30, 2011, a 17-second video of what Sony Music had been doing with some of the thousands of submissions for the 'Behind the Mask Project' was released.^[13] On April 29, 2011, another video teaser for the project was released on michaeljackson.com, and it is announced that the final day to submit for the Behind the Mask Project is Tuesday May 3, 2011.^[14]On June 6, 2011 was published the official trailer announcing when the final video would be published. On June 14, 2011 the official and final video was posted on the official Michael Jackson's channel on YouTube, but only accessible on the King of Pop's page on social networking site Facebook.^[15] A day after, the video was classified and is now more widely available.This video has become in the most international, multi-collaborative of all times.^{[citation needed]} In the 1600 clips that compose it can be seen people from the Sahara to the main cities of the world, through the Taj Mahal and the Arctic Circle.^{[citation needed]} The clip is currently^[when?] under evaluation for inclusion in the Guinness Book of World Records as the music video with the largest audience of participants.^{[citation needed]} The oldest screen of this music video was recorded in 1996 by a Turkish boy Turgay Suat Tarcan.

An alternate video was originally shot and completed, featuring masked dancers in a nightclub, but the 'Behind the Mask Project' was released instead of this video. This alternate video directed by the Grammy-winning directing duo Aggressive leaked on July 31, 2013. ^[16][17] The video was eventually uploaded to Jackson's YouTube channel on August 3, 2018. ^[18]

Earth Song Michael Jackson Download

UPDATE: The unreleased Michael Jackson album has been removed from public auction, but will still be available for purchase. “Due to an overwhelming response, interest and media attention, all parties involved in the sale of the Michael Jackson unreleased album wish to keep the integrity of Michael Jackson’s legacy by removing it from public auction,” a rep said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Private inquires only at Gottahaverockandroll.com. Those interested in purchasing can still listen to the album by appointment.”

***

An album containing nine unheard Michael Jackson songs will be auctioned off by New York auction house Gotta Have Rock and Roll later this month. The album, which appears as a blank disc with the word “Bible” written in pen, is one of many Jackson items available to preview before a public online auction that lasts from July 19th to 28th.

The unreleased songs appear on a CD that was in Jackson’s possession. Alternate mixes of the three songs on the recording have already surfaced: “Monster,” “Breaking News” and “Keep Your Head Up” all appeared on Michael in 2010. The other nine tracks, all of which are reportedly master quality, have not been released.

The starting bid on the unreleased album is $50,000, though organizers tell Rolling Stone that they expect the final price to go as high as $1 million. Whoever takes home the CD will not own rights to the music, so the winning bidder cannot distribute the recording. According to the auction house, the album was obtained by “the personal friend and personal assistant to Michael whose family was very close to Michael for many years, traveling all over the world with him.” When reached for comment, a rep for Gotta Have Rock and Roll said Jackson’s friend wished to remain anonymous.

The latest Jackson album is one of many items of pop memorabilia obtained by Gotta Have Rock and Roll for the upcoming sale. Other Jackson items include hand-drawn self-portraits, clothing, his “personally owned teddy bear” and a “Best Daddy in the World” Oscar statuette given by his children.

The auction will also include the handwritten letter Tupac sent to Madonna while in prison in 1995 in which the rapper discusses the reasons for their breakup. That letter is expected to sell for over $100,000.

Two albums of Jacksons’ songs have come out since his death in 2009. The first, Michael, was a source of controversy: several longtime Jackson associates believed that the vocals on some songs – notably “Breaking News,” included again on this album for auction – did not actually belong to the King of Pop. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Will.i.am, who worked with Jackson during the 2000s, said the new record was “not Michael Jackson,” before adding flatly, “it disgusts me.” Jackson’s brother Randy also questioned the authenticity of the vocals.

In response to these concerns, Howard Weitzman, a lawyer for the Jackson estate, went so far as to release a statement saying that “one of the best-known forensic musicologists in the nation” – Weitzman did not name the investigator – had determined that the vocals belonged to Jackson.

The follow-up album, 2014’s Xscape, did not set off as many high-profile arguments. A-list producers like Timbaland, Stargate and Darkchild filled out tracks that Jackson started between 1983 and 1999. Lead single “Love Never Felt so Good” climbed to Number Nine on the Hot 100.
