In 2015 Janet Jackson released her 11th album, Unbreakable, her first for her own label, Rhythm Nation. Reuniting her with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, with whom she hadn’t worked since 2006, it immediately set the US charts alight. “No Sleeep” finds Jackson doing what she does best: sounding seductive on a nocturnal groove that she wrote w...
Written by ex-Time keyboardist Monte Moir, who in 1985 had written Alexander O’Neal’s killer bedroom ballad, “If You Were Here Tonight,” “The Pleasure Principle” was a bubbling, synth-driven dance groove whose style was more nuanced and less rambunctious than Control’s Jam & Lewis-helmed dance tracks. It also featured a rock-style guitar solo from ...
Propelled by a thunderous swing-beat groove and peppered with samples, “Alright” was the fourth single taken from the Rhythm Nation 1814album. A song about romantic bliss, “Alright” adhered to the formula that defined her Jam & Lewis-era material, welding an irresistible chorus and sweetly harmonized vocals to a pummeling rhythm track.
Featuring stellar background vocals from R&B supergroup Blackstreet, “I Get Lonely” was another example of Jackson’s ability to create immersive storytelling romantic ballads. This time, the music had a gospel undertone and a purer R&B sound. Written by Jackson together with Jam and Lewis, plus her then-husband, René Elizondo, Jr, the tune was the ...
By the time that Janet Jackson got to duet with her elder brother, Michael, she was a superstar in her own right. “Scream” put the “King Of Pop” in the studio with his sister’s producers, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who co-wrote the song with both Jackson siblings. Living up to its title, “Scream” is a boisterous swing-beat style groove and appeared...
Topping the US R&B singles chart in 1997, “Any Time, Any Place” is an atmospheric quiet storm ballad on which Janet Jackson shows a more sensual facet of her personality against a gentle backdrop of lush, shimmering keyboards. The song was co-written by the singer with her co-producers, Jam and Lewis, who had a hand in many of the best Janet Jackso...
In between her Rhythm Nation and janet albums, Jackson duetted with silky-voiced soul crooner Luther Vandross on this upbeat Jam & Lewis-helmed tune, which was taken from the soundtrack to the film Mo’ Money, a comedy starring siblings Damon and Marlon Wayans. The tune was co-written by Jackson’s producers with former New Editionmembers Michael Biv...
This was the second single taken from Jackson’s 1997 album, The Velvet Rope, a frank confessional that addressed the singer’s purported battle with depression as well as subjects ranging from domestic violence to sexual identity. Lighter in tone, though, is “Together Again,” a pop-dance excursion with hints of Motown and house music in its musical ...
“When I was 17, I did what people told me,” sings Janet Jackson on this, the title track from her platinum-selling 1986 album, adding, “Did what my father said, and let my mother mold me… but that was a long time ago.” Not as in your face as “Nasty,” “Control, with its twitchy sequenced rhythms, still packed a sonic punch. Sounding a little like a ...
An old-school Motown feel pervades this, one of Janet Jackson’s catchiest songs. Though featuring on the tracklist of UK and Japanese pressings of janet, in the US it was a hidden trackon the US CD version. “Whoops Now” didn’t get issued as a single in America, but overseas, where it was released separately, it performed well, topping the pop chart...
