Quincy Jones hat auch eine Meinung zum Album: "Sie versuchen Geld zu machen. Und ich verstehe es. Jeder geht nach dem Geld, der Estate, die Anwälte. Es geht ums Geld," sagt er. Aber es ist nicht mein Business, Es ist nicht unseres"
spricht Quincy Jones, der den Estate um Geld verklagt mit dem gleichen Anwalt wie Robson und Savercheck, die wiederum den Estate um Geld verklagen.
Zudem sagt er noch es war eine Lüge das man in die Welt gesetzt hat, ich mochte Billie Jean nicht.
Quincy Jones On Michael Jackson's 'Xscape': 'It's About Money'
Quincy Jones has a blunt assessment on the latest posthumous Michael Jackson album release, “Xscape” -- “It's about money.”
The Rock And Roll Hall of Famer’s comments were broadcast in a ranging interview for public radio station CBC on his own storied career.
Jones, the great composer, producer and all-round music man, masterminded many of the top hits in MJ’s glittering career. Though clearly he’s not a fan of the “new” stuff. “They're trying to make money. And I understand it. Everybody's after money, the estate, the lawyers. It's about money,” he said.
When asked if he was bothered by the ongoing rollout of recordings featuring the late King of Pop, Jones had this to say: “Yeah, but it's not my business anymore. They're not our business (laughs).”
In the new interview, Jones also goes deep into the sessions on “Thriller,” and he dispelled the oft-told tale of how he’d initially rejected “Billie Jean.” “And this whole fallacy of me not liking 'Billie Jean' is a lie. It is some lie that started somewhere. Anybody can hear that record's a smash. And also I know where it came from.”
