Also... lies? I believe I gave my opinion in what I listened to, and I did not make anything up. I will quote myself:
"In the second half of the song, the track seems to go into a transformation (similar to a DJ segueway) between Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Runnin” and Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough”, as if he’s exploring the beauty of that period in music between 1977 and 1979."

That is not a lie, I wasn't making something up for the sake of being read. This is what I hear, this is how I felt, I caught the Brazilian influence immediately. I'm hearing MJ's transformation from what he was before to what he became with OFF THE WALL, and I'm talking musically. When I write, I want to be able to convey my feelings from the music to those who do read me. I don't write for a specific audience, even though I'm sure I may go over people's heads if I make a reference that isn't a casual one. I write for all, and I feel my review wasn't any different from any of my other reviews, other than length.

If you feel that there was a lie or lies were told, I cannot change your mind. What I hear on this album is a sense of craft, not unlike OFF THE WALL, which I will always say is one of the best albums ever made. In fact, I've never not said this, and that's not a lie. It's an opinion, and if my opinions are lies because they are not true facts, that's fine. Again, I cannot change your view. However, you read my review and I thank you for that sir.
