RECORDING DATE

Song written by Bryan Loren for Michael Jackson and intended for the Dangerous album. The track was recorded during sessions for the Dangerous album between 1989-1990. The title was included on the insert of a DAT featuring an early configuration of the album (dated April 19, 1990), which was found during the Brad Sundberg laptop theft. However, no information was given on the track.

In 2024, a trove of unreleased Michael Jackson tapes were found in a storage unit deep in the San Fernando Valley. Musgrove’s journey to the tapes began when an associate contacted Greg Musgrove about a storage unit he’d recently bought in Van Nuys. The unit once belonged to Bryan Loren, a music producer and singer. On the tapes are 12 unreleased tracks, music Jackson worked on prior to the Dangerous album, around 1989 to 1991 including the song  “Bubbles” (dated October 4, 1989). He and the attorney he brought on approached the Jackson Estate with their findings earlier this year. The estate, who Musgrove says did their own research into the tapes, declined to purchase the tapes for an unknown reason, but did provide him with an official letter stating that the estate does not claim ownership. They make it clear in the letter, however, that he and anyone else who might purchase these tapes down the line do not own the copyright on the recordings or the compositions, the estate does. Essentially, these tapes can never be released publicly.
