Michael Jackson - Scream

Tribute to Michael Jackson

By request!

I'm dancing to... SCREAM!

"Scream" is the lead single from Michael Jackson's ninth studio album "HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I". The song is a duet with his younger sister Janet Jackson (R&B/Pop singer). The single was released on May 31, 1995. "Scream" is cited primarily as an aggressive, retaliatory song directed at the tabloid media. "Scream" was written, composed and produced by Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson; Michael played many of the instruments. It incorporates elements of pop, electrorock, new jack swing, dance-pop, and funk. Recording for Scream took place at the Hit Factory in New York City and at Flyte Tyme Studios in Edina, Minnesota in December 1994. The song was leaked to radio stations early, despite Epic Records' attempt to keep it off air until the official release date. Generally well received amongst critics, it has been compared favorably to other accomplished pieces by Michael Jackson. It went on to be nominated for a "Grammy Award" and an "American Music Award". The corresponding music video remains one of Jackson's most critically acclaimed pieces; it won numerous "MTV Video Music Awards" and a "Grammy". At a cost of $ 7 million, it was listed in the "Guinness World Records" as the most expensive music video ever made, however director Mark Romanek has refuted the claim saying that there were two other music videos from the same era which cost "millions more" than the video for "Scream". The imagery in "Scream" has been replicated in several contemporary pieces, including "No Scrubs" by TLC, "Shawty Get Loose" by Lil Mama, "Stay the Night" by IMx and Walkin' on the Moon by The-Dream.
