Second part of the review:

HEARING THE ALBUM # XSCAPE IN BRAZIL - PART 2 |
Preliminary analysis of music (later back with more details):
1. LOVE NEVER FELT SO GOOD
The song starts with a very instrumental crafted strings (as is done in "Gone Too Soon", for example) and then follow a jazz / soulful vibe along with piano. Sounds like a reinterpretation of the best of the album "Off The Wall".

2. CHICAGO
"Chicago" has a very strong beat and organic, blending bass, bass drums and synthesizers. In addition, several ad-libs are simply great!

3. LOVING YOU
"Loving you ... that's all I" / The song is a kind of musical instruments convention, including piano, all played simultaneously and reminiscent Broadway musicals. Another brand is up there in the chorus catchy!

4. A PLACE WITH NO NAME
APWNN The new version is introduced by a hit very similar to "The Way You Make Me Feel". Moreover, one can notice the most prominent in the Michael voice, especially in the chorus, as distinct from that leaked version years ago.

5. SLAVE TO THE RHYTHM
"Slave" begins with sounds of chains dragging as slaves being loaded.The new version includes ad-libs Timbaland and has several sections that are so prominent that MJ's voice, sounding almost a cappella.

6. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE
has an electronic rhythm that recalls the sound of video games. The pace of the chorus is growing and instrumental sound is completed by a clock in the background, which oscillates at various times and descompassa.
DYKWYCA have a surprise! Near the end, the song seems to end up [at that moment everyone in the room were excited and prepared to applaud], when suddenly the last verse is repeated.

7. GANGSTA BLUE
is the most mysterious song on the album! The first few seconds creates an incredible tension, with rain sounds, steps and a heavy atmosphere ... until Michael comes by surprise by singing a cappella.

8. XSCAPE
"Xscape" starts with MJ saying "Darkchild" (producer Rodney Jerkins nickname). The new instrument is quite heavy and reminds of early demo version / original (including parts of beatbox). Moreover, before the chorus is an excerpt from a cappella.
Another important point is that, at various times, the song seems to reference the version of "Working Day And Night" sung live on the Dangerous Tour (to the extent that MJ is spinning on stage).
