Description
Michael Jackson's Dangerous offers a complex and nuanced artistic statement that challenges the public's perception of its creator. Released during a tumultuous period in Jackson's life, the album presents a mature and provocative vision that was both commercially successful and misunderstood by many. The record is often seen as a concept album, exploring themes of postmodern angst, love, lust, seduction, betrayal, damnation, and racial politics. This interpretation reveals a Michael Jackson who was both familiar and yet, in many ways, dangerous - a figure who had been accepted as a child and as childlike, but now presented a more mature and provocative persona. By examining the album's depth and breadth, this book seeks to cut through dominant narratives and provide a fresh understanding of Jackson's artistic vision.
