Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson Duets: STREAM Newly Released Tracks From 1983 Session

OH MAH GUH, YOU GUYS. Two days after promising fans that unreleased Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson duets would be released "in the fall," the previously unheard tracks (which were recorded over the course of six hours at MJ's home studio in 1983) have made their way to the interwebs. AND YOU CAN STREAM TWO OF THE TRACKS BELOW.

Slow-burning ballad "There Must Be More To Life Than This" lets the legends show off their vocal chops.

"State Of Shock" sounds like a combo of "Under Pressure" rhythms and Thriller-era Mike. Also, Brian May lays down some sweet riffs. If that doesn't get you excited, then you know where you can go. 

May previously promised "something for folks to hear" and there is still one track missing. May also admitted to receiving permission from the Jackson estate to re-work the recordings (meaning that these tracks are likely just rough cuts).

While it's awesome to hear two new tracks from unimpeachable greats, you should still stay tuned for the third duet and the fully mastered versions that May has promised later in the year.

What do you think of the Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury duets?
