Album Description

Michael Jackson's iconic sixth studio album, Thriller, was released on 30 November 1982 by Epic Records. Produced by the renowned Quincy Jones, who had previously collaborated with Jackson on his 1979 album Off the Wall, Thriller marked a significant shift in Jackson's musical direction. Moving away from the disco genre, which was facing a backlash at the time, Jackson embarked on a new sonic journey, masterfully blending pop, post-disco, rock, funk, and adult contemporary music.

The result was a monumental impact on popular music, with Thriller becoming the top-selling album of all time, a record it continues to hold more than 40 years after its release. This groundbreaking album features an impressive tracklist, including the hits 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'', 'Baby Be Mine', 'The Girl Is Mine' (featuring Paul McCartney), 'Thriller', 'Beat It', 'Billie Jean', 'Human Nature', 'P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)', and 'The Lady in My Life'.

With a duration of 42 minutes, Thriller is a testament to Jackson's innovative spirit and his desire to create an album where "every song was a killer". The album's influence can still be felt today, and its release marked a pivotal moment in music history. Michael Jackson's Thriller is an unforgettable masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless sound and enduring legacy.
