Check out the new Turn Me Up (GRADES X Leo Kalyan Remix). FIRE!!!

You got my heart straight pulling in the wrong direction You got me all alone with my own affections The sooner I pull away The sooner I’m safe as I try to forget you You got me needing you like you’re some religion You told me go away Like it’s my decision But as soon as I pull away You’re falling back into my arms so I never forget you My love won’t go from you I’m always just fighting the best suggestion My love will grow

Why can’t you turn me up Good love coming around Turn me up Good love coming down You’re always just fighting the best suggestion Turn me up, I’m coming around Turn me up, I’m falling down You’re always just fighting the best suggestion

You held my hand in the dark, if you can still remember Where there was never a light inside a long December As soon as I moved away You said hold on tight and don’t ever forget me

My love won’t go from you My love will grow

Why can’t you turn me up Good love coming around Turn me up Good love coming down You’re always just fighting the best suggestion Turn me up, I’m coming around Turn me up, I’m falling down You’re always just fighting the best suggestion You’re always just fighting the best suggestion Turn me up, I’m coming around Turn me up, I’m falling down You’re always just fighting the best suggestion

It’s Friday, you should be dancing. So here’s Italo-disco pioneer Cerrone’s remix of HAIM's “If I Could Change Your Mind.”

As Jackson couldn’t fluently play any instruments, he would sing and beatbox out how he wanted his songs to sound by himself on tape, layering the vocals, harmonies and rhythm before having instrumentalists come in to complete the songs.

One of his engineers Robmix on how Jackson worked: “One morning MJ came in with a new song he had written overnight. We called in a guitar player, and Michael sang every note of every chord to him. “here’s the first chord first note, second note, third note. Here’s the second chord first note, second note, third note”, etc., etc. We then witnessed him giving the most heartfelt and profound vocal performance, live in the control room through an SM57. He would sing us an entire string arrangement, every part. Steve Porcaro once told me he witnessed MJ doing that with the string section in the room. Had it all in his head, harmony and everything. Not just little eight bar loop ideas. he would actually sing the entire arrangement into a micro-cassette recorder complete with stops and fills.”
