Michael Jackson – Thriller

Thriller is the sixth studio album by American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson, released on November 29, 1982, by Epic Records.

It was produced by Quincy Jones, who had previously worked with Jackson on his 1979 album Off the Wall. Amid the growing backlash against disco music at the time, Jackson shifted in a new musical direction, resulting in a blend of pop, post-disco, rock, funk, synth-pop, and R&B, along with darker lyrical themes. Jackson aimed to create an album where "every song was a killer." Paul McCartney appears as the first credited featured artist on a Jackson album.
