Thriller 25 is the 25th anniversary edition reissue of American singer Michael Jackson's sixth studio album Thriller (1982). The original album has sold 70 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling album of all time. Thriller 25 was released by Sony BMG's reissue division, Legacy Recordings. It is the first Jackson album with an age certificate. Along with the original material, the reissue contains remixes, new material, a DVD (for some versions)[1] and collaborations with several contemporary artists. Thriller 25 was one of the last recorded works released during Jackson's lifetime, which he was moreover deeply involved with, as Jackson co-produced all of the newly remixed tracks.

Forty years after its release on the 30th of November 1982, people still name Thriller as one of Michael Jackson\u2019s greatest albums. To mark the occasion, Sony is rolling out the red carpet for the anniversary edition of this masterpiece, including 25 bonus tracks! For this record, which was released in the same year as the Compact Disc, the 24-year-old star once again teamed up with Quincy Jones. The era was also marked by the rise of MTV\u2014which was only a year old at the time\u2014and Michael dreamed of reaching funk lovers as well as rock and pop fans. However, Thriller became what we know it to be because it was essentially a compilation of strong, perfect songs. As Quincy would later say: 'If an album reaches number one, it\u2019s because the songs are perfect to begin with!'Emphasising the role of sound engineer Bruce Swedien and songwriter Rod Temperton, who\u2019d already been involved in Off the Wall, the producer told Rolling Stone magazine in 2009: 'Michael didn\u2019t create Thriller. It takes a team to make an album. He wrote four songs, and sang his ass off, but he didn\u2019t conceive it. That\u2019s not how an album works.'\u00a0\u2018The Girl Is Mine\u2019, the duet with Paul McCartney, was released as a single on the 18th of October 1982, a good month after the album. By joining forces with the ex-Beatles member again, Michael Jackson showed the way. He broke down racial boundaries even further, building bridges between America and Europe and blurring the lines between musical genres. His label, Epic\u2013like everyone involved\u2013knew that this album was going to be unlike anything else the world had ever seen.To link the album to Off The Wall, Thriller is logically opened by \u2018Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'\u2019. With its sample of Manu Dibango\u2019s \u2018Soul Makossa\u2019 (the Cameroonian saxophonist would only claim royalties in 2008), it was the perfect way to satisfy Michael\u2019s lifelong fans. However, the lyrics were already less smooth than they had been in the past, revealing that the star had hardened up and freed himself from his child-artist image. Of course, the heart of this colossal album is in its three major songs: \u2018Thriller\u2019, \u2019Beat It\u2019 and \u2018Billie Jean\u2019. With creaking doors, werewolf screams, a long instrumental intro (Michael\u2019s voice only appears at the one-minute mark) and a monologue by 50s, 60s and 70s horror star Vincent Price, \u2018Thriller\u2019 (and its video) remains a pop culture megalith. With a pyrotechnic guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen (who, according to legend, burned out the studio speakers during the recording), \u2018Beat It\u2019 is a relentless, ultra-rhythmic rock song, just what Quincy Jones was hoping for since he\u2019d fantasised about placing a song similar to The Knack\u2019s \u2018My Sharona\u2019 (1979) at the heart of the album. However, the stand-out track from Thriller, of course, is the record-shattering hit \u2018Billie Jean\u2019. This is an excellent reissue of a true masterpiece.\u00a9 Marc Zisman\/Qobuz","sku":"o4mbmm0ioh7ya","releaseDate":"2022-11-18","brand":"@type":"Brand","name":"Michael Jackson","offers":"@type":"Offer","url":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/thriller-40-michael-jackson\/o4mbmm0ioh7ya","priceCurrency":"USD","price":17.09,"itemCondition":"https:\/\/schema.org\/NewCondition","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OnlineOnly","seller":"@type":"Organization","name":"Qobuz"} "@context":"http:\/\/schema.googleapis.com\/","@type":"MusicAlbum","@id":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/thriller-40-michael-jackson\/o4mbmm0ioh7ya","url":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/thriller-40-michael-jackson\/o4mbmm0ioh7ya","name":"Thriller 40","description":"Listen Thriller 40 by Michael Jackson on the Qobuz Webplayer","datePublished":"2022-11-18","potentialAction":"@type":"ListenAction","target":["@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/thriller-40-michael-jackson\/o4mbmm0ioh7ya?autoplay=true","actionPlatform":["http:\/\/schema.org\/DesktopWebPlatform","http:\/\/schema.org\/IOSPlatform","http:\/\/schema.org\/AndroidPlatform","http:\/\/schema.googleapis.com\/GoogleAudioCast","http:\/\/schema.googleapis.com\/GoogleVideoCast"]],"expectsAcceptanceOf":"@type":"Offer","category":"free","eligibleRegion":[] (function(w,d,s,l,i)w[l]=w[l])(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-MTLV8X8'); 2ff7e9595c
