Technology is the thrust of 2008’s infectious and ridiculously weird single “Feedback.” With it, Jan got her 4/4 back, equating her vagina to a subwoofer (and, notably, her clit to guitar strings) and her swagger to a heavy-flow day. The beats are spare but oppressive, the synths scratchy and impatient, the perfect accompaniment for the singer’s li...
Hard to tell which was bigger: this comeback disco anthem (which sat atop the Billboard charts for a lusty seven weeks in 2001) or the size of the impressive basket the guy who caught Janet’s eye apparently had (and upon which, according to the lyrics, she later sat atop). What was striking about “All for You” at the time wasn’t its unabashed frank...
Realness, as anyone who’s seen Paris Is Burning knows, presumes aspirational designs among those who espouse it. “Funky Big Band” grasps that harshly glamorous concept right from its opening interlude, “The Lounge,” which drops listeners into the illicit milieu of a password-only speakeasy before reminding them, “You’ve got to be real/If you want t...
A song about self-empowerment, featuring a children’s choir and violin solo to boot, smacks of inevitable mawkishness. But with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’s thoughtful production, Janet’s unpretentious delivery of even lyrics like “One love’s the answer,” and violinist Vanessa Mae’s edgy solo, this potential schmaltz-fest became a thoughtful theme-e...
Throughout Janet’s imperial phase, the template called for each of her albums to close out with a suite of love ballads. Skippable as any of them may have seemed when all you wanted to do was follow Janet’s own mantra “Get the point? Good, let’s dance,” the best of them—like this sultry, intimate invitation from one isolated soul to another—expose ...
Giving precisely zero fucks after dispensing a string of albums and singles that were desperate for them, Janet Jackson trusted the soft sell when choosing the lead-off single from her Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis-produced reunion album, Unbreakable. The downtempo “No Sleeep,” languorous (or “plush,” as she coos twice) in every respect but for those s...
Though the “live” video mix lent a more robust, organic quality to the title track from Jackson’s 1986 breakthrough Control, the original’s staccato drum programming, pristine clatter, and pitched-up vocals took the so-called Minneapolis sound (which Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis helped popularize alongside former boss Prince) in a more high-tech elect...
This unlikely smash is an oozing, slow-paced romp in the tradition of Barry White and Marvin Gaye, all reverb-y finger snaps and pronounced bass and guitar, with Janet’s vocals reaching a fervent and authentic pitch during the second pre-chorus, in which she vamps in full voice (or, at least, as full as her voice can get), “I don’t give a damn! I w...
janet. was a cock-tease of an album—and not just lyrically. The nearly structure-less “Throb” is merely a suggestion of an actual pop song, existing primarily as a showcase for Jackson’s limp promises to “boom, boom, boom until noon, noon, noon” and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’s more-than-convincing attempt at the hard, house-orgy beats of the era. C...
If “The Pleasure Principle” wrote the book, “You Want This” lived it. Anchored by Good Time Island samples from Diana Ross and the Supremes and Kool and the Gang, and a direct lyrical lift from the Isley Brothers’ “Shout,” the song plays coy (“You better work it, boy/No, it won’t come easy”), but this piano-slamming party track is quite literally t...
