Michael Jackson



 Audio samples:

Throughout his solo career, Jackson's versitility has allowed him to experiment with a number of themes and genres.[4] As a musician, he has ranged from Motown’s dance fare and ballads to techno-edged New jack swing to work that incorporates both funk rhythms and hard-rock guitar.[7] Off the Wall, was crafted from funk, disco-pop, soul, soft rock, jazz and pop ballads.[4][162][163] Prominant examples include the ballad, "She's Out of My Life" and the two disco tunes "Working Day and Night" and "Get on the Floor".[162]

Thriller refined the strengths of Off the Wall; the dance and rock tracks were more aggressive, while the pop tunes and ballads were softer and more soulful.[4] Notable tracks include the ballads "The Lady in My Life", "Human Nature" and "The Girl is Mine", the funk pieces "Billie Jean" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and the disco set "Baby Me Mine and "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)".[164][165][166][4] With Thriller, Jackson would being his long association with the subliminal theme of paranoia and darker imagery.[166] This is evident on the songs "Billie Jean" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'".[165] In "Billie Jean", Jackson sings about an obsessive fan who alleges he has fathered a child of hers.[4] While in "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" he argues against gossips and the media.[166] The anti-gang-violence "Beat It" became an homage to West Side Story and was Jackson's first successful rock cross over piece.[4][7] The title track "Thriller" would begin Jacksons interest with the theme of the supernatural, a topic he would revisit in the future.[4] In 1985, Jackson wrote the charity anthem "We Are the World", he continued this in future studio albums as humanitarian themes became a central component of his life and music.[4]

In Bad, Jackson's concept of the predatory lover can be seen on the rock song "Dirty Diana".[167] The lead single, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" was a traditional love ballad while "Man in the Mirror", an anthemic ballad of confession and resolution improved on his earlier "We Are the World".[43] "Smooth Criminal" was an evocation of bloody assault, rape and likely murder.[43] Dangerous presents Jackson as a starck paradoxal individual.[168] The album is more diverse than his previous Bad, it appeals to an urban audience while also attracting the middle class with anthems like "Heal The World".[168]The first half of the record is dedicated to New Jack Swing which includes songs like "Jam" and "Remember the Time".[169]The album is Jacksons first where social ills become a primary theme, "Why You Wanna Trip on Me" protests against world hunger, AIDS, homelessness and drugs.[169] Dangerous contains sexually charged efforts like "In the Closet", a love song about desire and denial, risk and repression, solitude and connection, privacy and revelation.[169] The title track continues the theme of the predatory lover and cumpulsive desire.[169] The second half is introspective, pop-gospel anthems such as "Will You Be There", "Heal the World" and "Keep the Faith" show Jackson finally opening up about various personal struggles and worries.[169] In the ballad "Gone Too Soon" Jackson paies tribute to his friend Ryan White and the plight of those with AIDS.[66] The album also contained one of his first power ballads "Give in to Me".[169]

HIStory creates an atmosphere of paranoia.[170] Its content focuses on the hardship and public struggles he went through just prior to its production. In the New jack swing-funk-rock efforts "Scream/Childhood" and "Tabloid Junkie" along with the R&B ballad "You Are Not Alone" Jackson retaliates against the injustice and isolation he feels and directs much of his anger at the media.[171] In the introspective ballad "Stranger in Moscow", Jackson laments over his "fall from grace", while songs like "Earth Song", "Childhood", "Little Susie" and "Smile" are all operatic pop pieces.[171][170] Invincible, found him working heavily with production Rodney Jerkins.[4] It is a record made up of urban soul like "Cry" and "The Lost Children", ballads such as "Speechless ", "Break of Dawn" and "Butterflies"[96][97] and Mix's Hiphop, pop and rap in "2000 watts", "Heartbreaker" and "Invincible".[97]
