Michael Jackson — Forever. Michael (Limited Edition LP)

Before the stadiums, before the moonwalk, there was a teenager from Gary, Indiana who could make a Soul ballad feel like a confession. Forever, Michael — pressed here in a limited edition LP from Universal Japan — catches Michael Jackson in that tender in-between moment: too seasoned to be a child star, not yet the phenomenon he was becoming. Rooted in the lush Soul and R&B traditions that the Motown hit machine had refined from Blues and Gospel, tracks like "One Day In Your Life" and "We're Almost There" carry a quiet ache that no amount of studio polish could manufacture. An essential piece of pop lineage.
