MJ’s Message songs Playlist
Michael Jackson was a multi-dimensional artist whose songs addressed issues related to all facets of society. Not a single song in his catalogue is subpar, however, while he was known for many hit songs, many especially those on the B-side often went under the radar. This contained most of his underrated songs; the political, environmental and social conscious songs which engender awakening and self-awareness.
These are the songs of positivity which drive change, a desperately needed development in the world. He sonically imagined a world of unity, egalitarianism, prosperity, racial harmony and peace. His songs exposed the true state of the world beyond the facade and fantasies with its divide and conquer tactics against the people which weaponizes engineered hatred, discrimination, war, racism, elitism, classism, poverty and economic stratification, environmental degradation, child trafficking, etc., for mass subjugation.
I am resolute in the view that MJ was privy to elitist abuse of children and set out to use his power and influence to save and serve them by creating a nest and space of comfort through the construction of his Neverland home. It is also my view that the media persecution launched against him, during his lifetime and even after his demise has been a orchestrated vendetta which stems from this awareness. MJ was a subversive artist and a member of the elite class, who turned out to be anti-elite.
His song “The Lost Children” vindicates him and ought to be an anthem in 2026 following the exposure of the Epstein Files and the network of so-called royals and billionaires whose favourite pastime is cannibalism, sex trafficking and paedophilic indulgences. MJ knew in 2001 what the world is only just discovering twenty-five years later. His message songs are my favourites and this playlist underscores this critically salient aspect of his musicality. While listening, one is forced to wonder if the world has really evolved for the greater good of all. I leave you to answer that question while listening to MJ’s consciousness-driven songs. Peace!
