Dangerous is the eighth studio album by the American singer Michael Jackson, released through Epic Records on November 21, 1991. It was released four years after Jackson's previous album, Bad (1987). Jackson departed from longtime collaborator Quincy Jones, instead co-producing the album with Bill Bottrell, Teddy Riley, and Bruce Swedien. The album features guest appearances from Heavy D, Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, Slash, and Wreckx-n-Effect. The album incorporates new jack swing, pop, R&B, and hip-hop. Jackson wrote or co-wrote most of the songs, centered on topics like lust, unity, social issues, and self-improvement.
Dangerous is considered an artistic change for Jackson, with a more socially conscious material and a broader range of sounds and styles, including underground sounds. It features industrial, funk, electronic, gospel, classical, and rock. Nine singles from the album premiered between November 1991 and December 1993, including one exclusively released outside North America ("Give In to Me"). In support of the album, Jackson embarked on the Dangerous World Tour, which grossed $100 million.
Dangerous was generally a critical success, with praise for its artistic leap compared to Jackson's previous albums. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard Top Pop Albums chart and remained there for four consecutive weeks. It also reached number 1 in fourteen other countries. In 1992, it became Jackson's third consecutive album to become the year's best-selling album worldwide. "Black or White" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Remember the Time", "In the Closet", and "Will You Be There" reached the top ten.
Dangerous is one of the best-selling albums of all time, having sold 32 million copies worldwide, and is certified eight-times platinum in the United States. It has been included in several best-album lists and received numerous awards, including Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical at the 1993 Grammy Awards and Favorite Pop/Rock Album and Favorite Soul/R&B Song (for "Remember the Time") at the 1993 American Music Awards. It has since been credited by critics as Jackson's final "classic" album and his most artistically ambitious work.
Released in 1991, Dangerous helped to further and sustain Jackson's career with songs such as "Black or White", "Jam", and "Remember the Time".
At the beginning of the nineties, Michael Jackson had lost his superstar status a little. The new album project initially ran under the title "Decade", in the end Jackson decided on the title "Dangerous".
"Dangerous", produced without Quincy Jones, sold over 30 million copies worldwide, and nine of the 14 songs landed in the top 10 of the US charts. Michael Jackson is once again the greatest superstar ever.
"Dangerous" reached the 10 million mark in sales in the first two months after its release. Jackson's two previous albums, "Bad" and "Thriller," each took more than four months to achieve this goal.
"The aggressive yet fluid dance grooves [Ted] Riley helped construct and his emphasis is on writing grooves, not traditional songs prove a perfect match for Jackson's clipped, breathy uptempo voice." - Alan Light, Rolling Stone
