The Resurgence of Michael Jackson
On the 25th anniversary of the release of the epic Thriller, the music of Michael Jackson is seeing a small resurgence. I keep hearing classic King of Pop songs everywhere. Television commercials play cuts from Thriller in the background, and Rihanna’s grinding Don’t Stop the Music is overlayed on MJ’s Wanna Be Startin’ Something.
And have you listened to the Thriller collaborations with current artists? The Thriller 25th Anniversary Deluxe edition features artists like will.i.am, Akon, Fergie, and Kanye West. I like the Billie Jean 2008 remix with Kanye. It mostly preserves the purity of the original Billie Jean with Kanye’s heavy bass beats bumping the background.
If you don’t already have a collection of Jackson’s hits, be sure to check out the 25th Anniversary edition of Thriller. All good stuff!

Took my awhile to get used to Akon’s remix and now I kinda like it. Initially, I was pissed he hogged all the vocal space though.
BTW, how do you insert photos into your post. Cause I use Clipmarks and it’s terrible!
