Members Taoboi Posted May 19, 2015 Members Share Posted May 19, 2015 So it's not a rumor. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was on a Janet kick last week so that makes my day.

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted May 25, 2015 Members Share Posted May 25, 2015 I wonder if the rumors of her album title being Conversations in a Cafe are true. If so, I approve of the Queen's choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted June 22, 2015 Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Janet's new single, "No Sleeep". Not what I expected but somewhat charming. Nice to hear something new from her. ETA: And it seems to be stuck in my head now.... Well played, Janet.

Members BetterForgotten Posted June 22, 2015 Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) I don't think this is the right choice for a comeback single, but it's not that bad and maybe she doesn't care. She's almost 50, so it's not likely she'll have a mainstream hit at this point. I was hoping for a faster dance track to remind us of what she used to do best. The boring ballads of her later years helped lead to her commercial downfall, IMO. The ballads on All For You, Damita, Jo, and 20YO were tortuous. I really hope this new album and tour is a return to form for her, I think this is her last chance for a real comeback.

Members cct Posted June 22, 2015 Members Share Posted June 22, 2015 I listened, and as a huge fan of Ms. Jackson..... meh This is NOT the single to come back with. It sounds like an album cut from janet. It does grow a bit on me, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BetterForgotten Posted July 24, 2015 Members Share Posted July 24, 2015 The song itself still puts me to sleep. Also, what has she done to her face in recent years? Granted she's a Jackson so bad surgery is par the course, but something seems to have been altered in the last year or two. I hope the album isn't indicative of this single, and Jam and Lewis have found their grove with her again. Their chemistry with her ended as far back as 1993 as far as I'm concerned and Janet just hasn't found the right folks to work with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 24, 2015 Members Share Posted July 24, 2015 The song is awful and don't care for it at all. Its a shame she comes back with such a weak song. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted July 25, 2015 Members Share Posted July 25, 2015 I watched this video this afternoon, and the song has been in my head all day. It's catchy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted July 25, 2015 Members Share Posted July 25, 2015 I recall during the Janet album era that the record company wanted If to be the 1st single..but she wanted that's the way love goes. It turned out well..but I could have seen IF as the lead singer...a bridge between rhythm nation and Janet...just like Miss you Much was a nice bridge between Control and Rythm nation. I was in 4th grade when RN hit it big... 1989 to 1990 was a fun era of music...with janet, madonna, Paula abdul, and early Mariah Carey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted July 25, 2015 Members Share Posted July 25, 2015 That's The Way Love Goes was a great instinct on her part though, and totally unexpected at the time. It did end up becoming her biggest hit after all. After Herb Ritts forced her to explore a fun sexy side in the Love Will Never Do video and it attracted a different type of attention to her work, I can see why she wanted the lead single from the followup album at the time to be more sensual and an opportunity to show off a more sexual image. She needed something more lowkey to help do that, and If wouldn't have provided the same punch if she did it with an uptempo dance track. I've also always found Control and janet. to be better albums than Rhythm Nation (which had some great singles, but the other two have aged better IMO). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
