Off the Wall is the fifth studio album by American singer Michael Jackson. It is his debut studio album released through Epic Records. It was released on August 10, 1979, following Jackson's critically well-received film performance in The Wiz. While working on that project, Jackson and Quincy Jones had become friends, and Jones agreed to work with Jackson on his next studio album. Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonderand Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album. Three of the singles had music videos released. Jackson wrote three of the songs himself, including the number-one Grammy-winning single "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". It was his first solo release under Epic Records, the label he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later.
The record was a departure from Jackson's previous work for Motown. The lyrical themes on the record relate to escapism, liberation, loneliness, hedonismand romance. Several critics observed that Off the Wall was crafted from funk, disco, soft rock, jazz, Broadway and popballads. Jackson received positive reviews for his vocal performance on the record. The record gained critical acclaim and recognition and won the singer his first Grammy Award. With Off the Wall, Jackson became the first solo artist to have four singles from the same album peak inside the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. The album was an enormous commercial success; as of 2014 it is certified eight times platinum in the United States and has reportedly sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling albums of all time.


Off the Wall es el quinto álbum solista de Michael Jackson editado en 1979. Con alrededor de 20 millones de copias vendidas en todo el mundo, 10 millones de ellos en Estados Unidos,[1] es uno de los 100 discos más vendidos de la historia y un hito imprescindible de la música disco.[2] [3]
Producido por Quincy Jones, supone para Jackson el haber alcanzado ese cierto grado de madurez que permite ciertas extravagancias.
Como dato curioso, Off the Wall fue lanzado a la venta el mes en que Michael Jackson cumplió 21 años de edad, y no mucho tiempo más tarde, la revista Rolling Stone lo incluyó entre los 100 discos más vendidos de la década de los años 1970.
Cuatro son los temas firmados por Jackson en este álbum, de los cuales el primer sencillo, «Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough», fue un gran éxito en los Estados Unidos y en el Reino Unido. Con este tema, Jackson ganó su primer Grammy en la categoría de mejor interpretación de rhythm and blues. Stevie Wonder le ofreció a Jackson el tema «I Can't Help It», y Paul McCartney la canción «Girlfriend». Rod Temperton, el letrista que más tarde colaboraría en el álbum Thriller, ofreció en esta ocasión joyas como «Rock with You», que alcanzó el n.º 1 en Estados Unidos, o el tema que da título al disco, «Off the Wall». Otra de las canciones a destacar era «She's Out of My Life», tema que Jackson incluyó siempre en sus giras por su gran valor emocional. Otro tema que alcanzó una popularidad notable sin haber sido lanzado como sencillo fue «Workin' Day and Night», que Michael Jackson también incluyó en muchas de sus giras.
