The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Funk/Soul/Pop singer.
Jackson's first album released through Epic Records, and the first produced by Quincy Jones, whom he met while working on the 1978 film "The Wiz". Michael Jackson had released four solo albums before, but this was his breakthrough, the album that established him as an artist of astonishing talent and a bright star in his own right. This was a visionary album, a record that found a way to break Disco wide open into a new world where the Beat was undeniable, but not the primary focus - it was part of a colourful tapestry of lush Broadway ballads and strings, smooth Soul and Pop, R&B, Soft Rock, and alluring Funk. Its roots hearken back to the Jacksons' huge mid '70s hit "Dancing Machine", but this is an enormously fresh record, one that remains vibrant and giddily exciting years after its release. This is certainly due to Jackson's emergence as a blindingly gifted vocalist, equally skilled with overwrought ballads as driving dance-floor shakers, where his asides are as gripping as his delivery on the verses. It's also due to the brilliant songwriting, an intoxicating blend of strong melodies, rhythmic hooks, and indelible construction. Most of all, its success is due to the sound constructed by Jackson and producer Quincy Jones, a dazzling array of Disco Beats, Funk guitars, clean mainstream Pop, and unashamed schmaltz that is utterly thrilling in its utter joy. This is highly professional, highly crafted music, and its details are evident, but the overall effect is nothing but pure pleasure. Jackson and Jones expanded this approach to the blockbuster Thriller, often with equally stunning results, but they never bettered it.
The album features songwriting contributions from Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Rod Temperton, Tom Bahler, and David Foster, alongside tracks penned by Jackson himself.
"Off The Wall" was a significant departure from Jackson's previous work for Motown and was hailed as a major breakthrough for him. In retrospect, writers have hailed it a landmark release of the Disco era and, along with his next album "Thriller" (1982), among the greatest albums in history. The album peaked at number three on the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart and number one on the Top Black Albums chart, staying at number one on the latter for 16 weeks, and was an enormous critical success. Five Singles were released from the album. Jackson wrote three songs, including the Billboard Hot 100 number-one Single "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough", his first solo number-one Single in the United States since "Ben" seven years prior. The second single, "Rock with You", also topped the chart. With following Singles "Off the Wall" and "She's Out of My Life" also reaching the US top 10, Jackson became the first solo artist to have four Singles from the same album reach the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
"Off The Wall" has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. On February 2, 2021, it was certified 9× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the US. At the 1980 Grammy Awards, it was nominated for two Grammy Awards, with Jackson winning "Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male" for "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". In 2008, "Off The Wall" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
