ALBUM

Dangerous (1991)

Dangerous was Jackson's eighth studio album, released on Epic Records, and the first he made without longtime producer Quincy Jones, working instead with Teddy Riley, Bill Bottrell, and Bruce Swedien. It pulls from new jack swing, pop, and R&B, with Jackson writing or co-writing most of the tracks, covering topics ranging from social issues and racism to romance, and it produced major singles including 'Black or White' and 'Remember the Time'.
