Поработав в небольшом модельном ателье по пошиву мужской одежды в Лондонской Chalk Farm, а также фотомоделью, Шаде Аду начала петь в бэк-вокале с британской группой Pride, за это время она заключила партнерские отношения с гитаристом и саксофонистом Pride Стюартом Мэтьюменом. Они вместе и при поддержке ритм-секции Pride Пола Энтони Кука и Пола Денмена, начали делать свои собственные сеты на концертах Pride. Её сольное исполнение песни «Smooth Operator» привлекло внимание звукозаписывающих компаний и в 1983 году Аду и Мэтьюмен, отдельно от Pride, но вместе с басистом Полом Денменом и барабанщиком Полом Энтони Куком сформировали группу Sade. В мае 1983 года Sade впервые выступили в Соединенных Штатах, в Danceteria Club в Нью-Йорке. 18 октября 1983 года вокалистка Шаде Аду подписала контракт с Epic Records, а остальные участники группы подписали контракт с ней в 1984 году.

Interstellaires is the tenth studio album by French singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer. It was released on 6 November 2015 in France by Polydor Records. It is produced by Martin Kierszenbaum and The Avener.

Работа над альбомом велась в период с апреля по ноябрь 1982 года на студии Westlake Recording Studios в Лос-Анджелесе. Продюсированием занимались Куинси Джонс и сам Джексон. Всего в альбоме девять треков, четыре из них были написаны самим певцом. Все семь синглов, выпущенных из Thriller, попали в топ-10 чарта Billboard Hot 100. На три из них были сняты музыкальные видеоклипы. Эта пластинка позволила Джексону сломать расовые барьеры в поп-музыке: видео на песни «Thriller», «Billie Jean» и «Beat It» попали в регулярную ротацию на MTV. Альбом был одним из первых, использующих музыкальные видео в качестве успешного инструмента продвижения. Всего за год Thriller стал самым продаваемым альбомом всех времён и остаётся таковым до сих пор.

Thriller записан в таких жанрах, как поп, рок, постдиско, ритм-н-блюз и фанк.

Dangerous features catchy pop hooks and choruses while also introducing underground sounds to a mainstream audience. The album's tone is noted by critics as gritty and urban, with sounds including honking horns, sliding chains, swinging gates, breaking glass, crashing metal. Throughout the album Jackson also implements beatboxing, scat singing, and finger snapping. The album is considered an artistic change for Jackson, with his music focusing to more socially conscious material, and a broader range of sounds and styles.
