"Rise Above It All" is an unreleased song by Michael Jackson intended for the Invincible album.
Background[]
Dr. Freeze confirmed the track's existence during an interview with MJFrance. The producer confirmed he "doesn't know if he [Michael] has completed his vocal parts", meaning he most likely didn't. The song was recorded in 1998 for Invincible, although didn't make the cut.
| “ | There's a song we made together, but I do not know if he has completed his vocal parts. It's called "Rise Above It All". It's a song I wrote and on which we worked. [...] It's an upbeat song. If you feel bad, if things are going wrong in the world, be positive and try to be as happy as possible, leaving aside all the negative things. Overcome negativity, go beyond the woes of the world, all wars, the starving children and all the bad things. Assemble yourselves, hold your hand, raise your hands to heaven and pass it all. It's a little theme song. I can not say whether he had recorded the song, but in any case, we worked on it. There are other songs on which they collaborated. Most of these songs are mid-tempo, but I can not say anything more. | ” |
