Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix es un álbum de Michael Jackson, publicado en 1997 por Epic. El disco incluye 13 canciones, entre ellas «Blood On The Dance Floor», «Morphine», «Superfly Sister» y «Ghosts».
Lanzado en 1997, en medio de la gira mundial de "HIStory", Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix es un proyecto híbrido que se ha convertido en el álbum de remezclas más vendido de todos los tiempos. El disco está compuesto por ocho remixes de canciones del álbum HIStory, junto con cinco canciones nuevas e inéditas. Estas nuevas canciones continúan la línea temática oscura y paranoica de su predecesor, con un sonido agresivo que fusiona el dance-pop, el rock industrial y el new jack swing. Aunque a menudo es pasado por alto en su discografía, "Blood on the Dance Floor" es un trabajo potente y cohesivo que muestra a un Michael Jackson en su momento más vanguardista y experimental.
Contexto y creación
La idea del álbum surgió durante la gira de "HIStory". Jackson quería ofrecer nuevo material a sus fans y capitalizar el éxito de los remixes de sus canciones en la cultura de club. Las cinco nuevas canciones fueron grabadas en parte durante las sesiones de "HIStory" y completadas en Suiza durante un descanso de la gira. Para los remixes, se reclutó a algunos de los productores de música de baile más importantes del momento, como Todd Terry y The Fugees, para que reinventaran sus éxitos para la pista de baile.
Análisis musical y estilo
Las cinco nuevas canciones son el corazón del álbum. Musicalmente, son una continuación del sonido agresivo de "HIStory", pero con un enfoque aún mayor en los ritmos de baile. La producción de Teddy Riley es clave, aportando su característico sonido new jack swing. Líricamente, Jackson continúa explorando temas de paranoia, traición y seducción peligrosa. Los remixes son una colección de house y R&B que adaptan sus canciones para el público de los clubes nocturnos.
Análisis de las canciones nuevas
La canción que da título al álbum, "Blood on the Dance Floor", es un potente tema de dance-pop y new jack swing con una letra sobre una mujer depredadora. Se convirtió en un éxito número 1 en el Reino Unido y en muchos otros países. "Morphine" es una de las canciones más oscuras y experimentales de su carrera, una pieza de rock industrial que aborda la adicción a los analgésicos.
"Ghosts" y "Is It Scary" son dos temas de temática gótica que formaron la base para el aclamado cortometraje de Jackson, "Ghosts", una de sus producciones visuales más ambiciosas. "Superfly Sister" es un enérgico tema de funk-rock.
Lanzamiento y cifras
El álbum fue un éxito comercial, vendiendo más de 6 millones de copias en todo el mundo y convirtiéndose en el álbum de remezclas más vendido de la historia.

- USA Billboard 200: 24

Lo que dijo la crítica
La crítica fue en general positiva, elogiando especialmente la calidad y la potencia de las cinco nuevas canciones. AllMusic lo describió como "un disco de dance enérgico y entretenido". "Blood on the Dance Floor" es a menudo un álbum subestimado, pero es una obra que captura a Michael Jackson en su momento más audaz, creando música de baile oscura y vanguardista que estaba muy por delante de su tiempo.

Letra
There's a ghost down in the hall There's a ghoul upon the bed There's something in the walls There's blood up on the stairs And it's floating through the room And there's nothing I can see And I know that that's the truth Because now it's onto me I don't understand it Hey I don't understand it! Aaow There's a tappin' in the floor There's a creak behind the door There's a rocking in the chair But there's no-one sitting there There's a ghostly smell around But nobody to be found And a coughin' and a yawnin' Where a restless soul is going Don't understand it Hey! Don't understand it Hey. And who gave you the right to shake my family? And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me And who gave you the right to shake my family tree? You put a knife in my back Shot an arrow in me! Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy The ghost of jealousy There's a tappin in the floor There's a creak behind the door There's a rocking in the chair But nobody's sitting there There's a ghostly smell around But nobody to be found And a coughin' and a yawnin' Where a restless soul is going Don't understand it! Yeah Yeah! Don't understand it! Your just a dog gone! Aaow! And who gave you the right to scare my family? And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me And who gave you the right to shake my family tree? And who gave you the right to take intrusion, to see me? And who gave you the right to shake my family? And who gave you the right to hurt my baby, she needs me And who gave you the right to shake my family tree? You put a knife in my back, Shot an arrow in me! Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy A suckin' ghost of jealousy Aaow! And who gave you the right to shake my family? And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me And who gave you the right to shake my family tree? And who gave you the right to take, intrusion to see me? And who gave you the right to hurt my family? And who gave you the right hurt my baby, she needs me And who gave you the right to shake my family tree? You put a knife in my back Shot an arrow in me! Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy The ghost of jealousy Aaow Dog gone But there's no doubt about it, piece of mind Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy - Is It Scary
