Inside the Recording of “Billie Jean”

#michaeljackson #billiejean #thriller

“Billie Jean” is one of those rare records you can identify in seconds. In this video, we look at why: a lean arrangement, a mix with real space and punch, and a “sonic personality” that lets every detail speak. Hear key elements in isolation and see how the choices behind the recording helped make it timeless.
