Quagmire: I'm eager to hear how toi began working with Michael Jackson and how he contacted you.
Dr. Freeze: I knew his manager, John McClain, and I was working on an album with my partners, Spydermann. After completing the album, it did not go as planned and we had to annuler the exit. I was very upset. And then John McClain said, "Do not worry Freeze. I have another project for you. I'll be in business with Michael. "I said:" Michael ... who? "and he said:" Michael Jackson! "I did not believe it at first and I thought it was crazy. And then one jour I was on the phone with my father and someone called me on the other line ... and it was Michael! That's how it all began. I had some songs and I made to Michael. He adored them! Because Michael and I, we have a sound very close. So every time I proposed something, it was easy for him to study the song because it was as if he already knew. I asked him songs and he adored. He cherished them. That's how we met.
Q: Speaking of "Break Of Dawn " , which is a great song. I think that's one of the most sensual songs he has ever made and that's what I wanted to hear Michael. I do not know if toi know, this is the first time he talks about making l’amour in a song. I do not know if toi had addressed this very issue with him?
F: (laughs) Yeah, thank you. It was his favori song was his baby .
Q: Do toi remember the exact number of songs that toi have presented?
F: I introduced him to many songs. The main songs on which we worked are "Break Of Dawn", "A Place With No Name" and "Blue Gangsta". These three songs were our priorities. "Break Of Dawn" is one of the songs that have been finalized. Others have been released later. They are kept in reserve.
Q: So toi suggest songs and Michael a dit if toi liked a particular song. As I understand, he loved every Break Of Dawn, and from there he decided to focus on this particular song. What happened next?
F: We were recording, we changed the studio, we re-register, we recorded plus songs. toi know, "A Place With No Name" and "Gangsta Blue" were recorded at the same time. There are also some others I can not speak for now. But other songs were recorded. We saved a lot but these three songs were our three main objectives.
Q: What was your mindset in the first jour in studio with him? How did toi feel?
F: It was pretty scary for me! I felt to be back in primary school and not knowing anything about the production! Michael I relearned everything. The other producers and I were as students face a teacher. With Michael, it was as if we knew nothing plus to our business: we had to start over and relearn everything. He taught us to do everything the best way possible: Michael was a perfectionist and we had to start from scratch to produce the musique for the best possible way. I was very nervous, very nervous but very honored! Anyway, Michael was plus nervous with toi than toi were with him. It was simply the most wonderful people with whom toi could never dream of working together. It was great! He knew all about the musique industry, everything about everything, nothing was foreign to him, and he taught me a lot. Finally, he was very humble and creative. It was really great to work with him.
Q: toi have therefore proposed his "Break Of Dawn", and then toi had to redo the song in full par following his advice?
F: No, he just had to record vocals ... and add his magic! It was like fleurs and trees grew in the song! He touched her and it became magical! I was shocked!
Q: So all the musical parts and the lyrics were made in advance?
F: Yes, he loved the song! He wanted to leave it as is! All I had done on this piece, no one had the right to change anything. Because it sounded like he had heard the first time we had a dream, a vision, and he wanted to recreate this dream in song to the last detail. He did not want to change anything, he wanted to keep the magic of the song absolutely intact. What toi hear on Invincible is exactly the version I've donné him before he raises his voice there.
Q: How long did it take him to record the song?
F: It took him time because he wanted a lot of momentum in the voice, especially the harmony toi hear in the chorus. It took time. Process studio was as long if we was spinning film!
Q: At that time, he also worked on other songs for Invincible ?
F: Yes .
Q: So he was taken to record his voice, listening to them, arranged them, started working on other songs, then returned a few days later to make additional catch?
F: Yes, it was incremental work. Sometimes he recorded the lead vocals, sometimes it was just the chorus ou adlib ... He also listened to the different mixes and changed some details in here and there. He was in full creative process. We wanted song either perfect and return to my analogy on cinema he was like filmmaker seeking improve his film making evolve script ou changing actors. This type of process it has used to create this song, and overall, the album Invincible .
Q: So basically, he changed a verse, started work on another song, and a few days later, he came to toi to change the song again?
F: Yes. When he returned changes were made and ideas were proposed, he listened attentively. It also arose at times and arranged two ou three things. Ultimately, all decisions were his. It was the boss. It was open to any criticism ou suggestions beneficial to the song, as it kept its effectiveness. All that interested him was to have hits in power.
Q: Who had the idea of taking "A Horse With No Name" group America?
F: That's me. Again, I did all the music, and he only had to learn the lyrics. It was at the same time as Break Of Dawn, but it is not extended and continued to work on it later. It has improved gradually.
Q: Was it planned for the album Invincible ou another project?
F: Initially it was planned for Invincible, yes. It is not out on this album and was therefore kept in reserve as "Blue Gangsta".
Q: Compared to the extract leaked on the Internet, can we expect differences mixing?
F: Yes, what toi heard is an old mix. One you'll soon hear is completely new .
Q: toi a dit "soon"? I am willing to learn more!
F: "A Place With No Name" and "Blue Gangsta". will both be on the suivant album of Michael. "A Place With No Name" will be different from the leak on the internet, it will be updated. For "Blue Gangsta" I rerecorded the instrumental. So expect changes .
Q: Did toi have completed this song with Michael in his lifetime?
F: Absolutely, it had been finalized .
Q: What were your feelings about Michael when toi got to know a bit plus in the studio?
F: It taught me not only to create a song correctly, but it also gave me conseil on the musique industry as a whole. My main feeling is that he was an absolute genius. I was fortunate to learn from one of the greatest. I try to apply his conseil in the projects I undertake today: I try to keep alive the artistic spirit of Michael Jackson. It's like if I graduated from college musical "Michael Jackson". Anyway, getting back to your question, the word "feeling" is too low. There is no word strong enough to describe what I learned and lived with the King of Pop.
Q: Do toi have any anecdotes about your studio sessions?
F: Not really. I had great fun working with him. Michael was someone who loved toi make funny jokes. It really spoke to any set, video games, etc.. Then resumed his work, the lesson resumed. We were amazed at its performance. It happened like that.
Q: he warmed up with a lot vocally record the song?
F: Anyone who is warm, either in sports ou singing. We never saw him do his vocal exercises before us, but when he came into the studio to record, he stood before the microphone and set feu to the song. As he left, the studio was in ashes and our jaws on the floor. It was really impressive to see.

Then comes the snow
But after the snow
The fleurs will grow
Girl when my life got stormy
toi stayed for the ride
toi stayed my side
toi make the sun shine
Refrain
I'm up again I never let toi down
Nothing's ever gonna stop me now
Up again I never let toi down
[ Find plus Lyrics on link ]
I l’amour you
This Humpty Dumpty's lucky
He's had his fall
But after it all
He brushed himself off
Knowing how much toi loved me
I made one plus try
I reached for the sky
And I made it this time
Refrain
I'm up again I never let toi down
Nothing's ever gonna stop me now
Up again I never let toi down
I l’amour you
