Invincible
Invincible is the tenth and final studio album by the American singer Michael Jackson, released on October 30, 2001, by Epic Records. It was Jackson's last album before his death in 2009. The creation of Invincible was expensive and laborious, featuring the work of ten record producers and over 100 musicians. Jackson started the multi-genre production in 1997 and did not finish until eight weeks before the album's release. With reported expenses of close to $30 million, it remains the most expensive album ever made. The album features appearances from Carlos Santana, the Notorious B.I.G., Fats, and Slash. It incorporates R&B, pop, and soul, and similarly to Jackson's previous material, Invincible explores themes such as love, romance, isolation, media criticism, and social issues.
