Being interviewed on Sky News in the UK, fan and author Pez Jax of the website MJ Vibe, advised anyone who wanted to know Michael Jackson’s views on everything that happened to him should listen to songs like “Money”, “Tabloid Junkie”, “This Time Around”, “D.S.” and “Scream”.
While he continued to record bold and topical statements after the 1995 release of “HIStory …”, in the new material on this, more than any other album, Jackson laid his love, his pain, his fears, his anguish and his rage out bare for all to hear. His adult material expresses a range of emotions, from optimism to outrage at social and environmental wrongs, with the apogee arguably being the biggest selling double album of all time, “History: Past, Present & Future, Book 1”. Michael Jackson’s unparalleled artistic achievements spanned periods of considerable social change – from his childhood offerings with the Jackson 5 and his adolescent solo albums to his last studio album, “Invincible”, and the tantalizing scraps left unfinished or unreleased at his death in 2009. “Every day create your history”: Reading the art of Michael Jackson to discover the real Man in the Music.

ABSTRACT: In this month’s MJ Studies Today column, Kerry Hennigan looks at the work of Michael Jackson as explored in the newly revised edition of Joseph Vogel’s book “Man in the Music” (2019) and Brice Najar’s “Let’s make HIStory” (2016) and considers how the examination of Jackson’s artistic output and his creative processes can tell us much about the man himself and how he expressed his feelings about matters both personal and global.Ĭolumn by Kerry Hennigan, editor of the monthly newsletter, A Candle for Michael, and administrator of the widely-subscribed Facebook group, Michael Jackson’s Short Film ‘Ghosts.
