This legitimately sounds like something MJ would have sung to promote Sonic Mania if he were still alive

I have no doubt that if Michael Jackson was alive, he would be really proud of Tee Lopes and Sir J since he was a Sonic Fan and would have definetely try Sonic Mania after MJs involvement in Sonic 3 & K

Since I don’t see complete English lyrics to this song (and I know why), I tried to recreate the lyrics as close as possible. There may be an error here and there, so please let me know what I got wrong. Lights, camera, action. Images flashing brightly, Glittering through your eyes. And we’re framing the scene just slightly, So the magic can ignite. Capture a moment tightly, And remember all the time. Then the optical lens resizing, The visual pain we fight to-night. Shuddering to wonder why, As the film is rolling high, Overlay the weight to defuse the mood inside. And once we have the mics on line, Take a zoom into my mind. We do it live! Heaven knows I really really tried, To find a cause to stay within the lines, But your Super 35 has- -Got me in focus on your hocus-pocus beam. And I know our frame rates might not be the same, But c’mon my baby steer the cam this way. Let’s ad lib a paradise so- -Don’t close your sight ‘til you made it alright with me! Alright. Settin’ the scene. Uh-huh, Alright. Alright with me. Uh-huh, Alright. Cause we be settin’ the scene. Lights, Camera, Action. Shuddering to wonder why, As the film is rolling high, Overlay the weight to defuse the mood inside. Did you have the mics on line, Take a zoom into my mind. We do it live!

no clue, but I have been a follower of his content, I feel like they deleted all of their social medias because they were feeling very depressed and... suicidal... He would often make music about how his desires to perish and he would also make a quite of concerning tweets that show that he was in a tough spot. Maybe I was reading too much into it so I could also be wrong. But man, the guy was talented AF, he got a ton of musical potential, hopefully he'll be able to figure himself out and get the necessary help to feel happy again, and then maybe just as well he would bounce back online to bless us with his wonders
