01
SEP 1999
A duet, cut in two languages. ■
A duet with composer A. R. Rahman, recorded September 1999 during the Invincible-era sessions — Jackson sings in English, Rahman in Sanskrit.
02
c.1999
◆ TURN
A CHARITY-CONCERT PREMIERE AND A SINGLE — BOTH SCRAPPED. ■
Originally planned to premiere at the “MJ & Friends” charity concerts and be released as a standalone single — that plan was scrapped before either happened.
03
2ND LOOK
Given a second look for the album — and turned down again. ■
Later considered — and ultimately rejected — for the Invincible album itself, the tracklist decision belonging to Phase II.
04
DIFF. FLAVOR
The one Bollywood-crossover outtake in the drawer. ★
Distinct in character from the rest of this drawer because of its Bollywood/Rahman crossover angle — a different flavor of Invincible-era outtake, not just another shelved R&B or pop track.
