I remember liking "Feedback."

I liked "Feedback" fine.

i like a lot of songs on discipline lol

"Feedback" was pretty hot. Her best post-A4U single.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 July 2015 01:17 (eight years ago) link

gonna disagree bc "all nite (don't stop)" and "rock with u" were singles

great songs on discipline:

rock with u
feedback
title track
curtains
luv
can't b good

The first half of Discipline has some good stuff, but the back half is kind of a chore to get through.

revisiting 20 yo for the first time in forever and i extremely rep for "daybreak"/"enjoy"

For some reason I'd remembered "All Nite" as an All For You single. Still, I think I prefer "Feedback."

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Thursday, 30 July 2015 02:44 (eight years ago) link

essentially 20 yo gets alarmingly great when dupri recedes

if i were more drunk i'd argue that "take care" is her best ballad and then i'd yell at myself for putting anything over "come back to me"

one month passes...

hello, i just thought i'd post here bc i don't think i have. i love this song. it's a very happy song for me. especially because i've not been sleeping much so it feels like i have a companion in the world.

oh no wait i did post here. well. it's still fucked up.

surm, Tuesday, 1 September 2015 02:49 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, she was amazing tonight.

Janet Jackson has detailed Unbreakable, her first new album since 2008's Discipline. It's out October 2 via Rhythm Nation/BMG, and features the singles "No Sleeep" (feat. J. Cole) and "The Great Forever", as well as a Missy Elliott collab called "Burnitup!" That's the artwork above; scroll down for the tracklist.

According to a press release, the album's themes include "Janet’s views on where we stand today as individuals and as the inter-related elements of a planet. Some of these relate to her convictions passionately expressed in Rhythm Nation 1814, including the need to bring things out in the open and to have a dialogue. The album also will mark the first time Janet Jackson has opened up about her brother Michael and with reflections concerning her youth."

The record continues Jackson's collaboration with producer-songwriter team Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Speaking about the project, the pair said:

It’s wonderful to be creating again with Janet. From songwriting, producing, arranging, singing, dancing, acting, she deftly does it all and truly personifies the word artist. Unbreakable is a gift to all of her fans who have steadfastly stood by her. It is a subject for conversation, a plea for compassion, and a call for action from someone who’s come a long way, but’s got a long way to go, and has much to say about it. In other words, if you want to know what’s on her mind you only have to listen.

Unbreakable:
01 Unbreakable
02 Burnitup! (Feat. Missy Elliott)
03 Dammn Baby
04 The Great Forever
05 Shoulda Known Better
06 After You Fall
07 Broken Hearts Heal
08 Night
09 No Sleeep (Feat. J Cole)
10 Dream Maker/ Euphoria
11 2 B Loved
12 Take Me Away
13 Promise
14 Lessons Learned
15 Black Eagle
16 Well Traveled
17 Gon B Alright

It's like she's trying to look like Chaka there with that coat and those rings.

new song is the best thing that's ever happened to me

it's tremendous - the harmonies on the chorus are just so breezy and sweet

the one w/ missy is properly great, really surprised they managed to put out two songs from this project before this one

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 25 September 2015 04:00 (eight years ago) link

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 25 September 2015 04:00 (eight years ago) link

Guys ... Don't scare me now.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Friday, 25 September 2015 05:28 (eight years ago) link

All three have been great!

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Friday, 25 September 2015 17:48 (eight years ago) link

I like that all 3 have been fun and playful. I don't want janet to teach me a lesson, I just want to party with her.

calstars, Friday, 25 September 2015 17:52 (eight years ago) link

i'm glad the midtempo songs came out first, i knew she'd still do good uptempo records, but it was kind of nice to see her not put that foot first like she did so poorly with "Feedback"

some dude, Friday, 25 September 2015 17:53 (eight years ago) link

Favorite of the 3 is no sleeep...deep evening sexytime vibes

calstars, Friday, 25 September 2015 18:28 (eight years ago) link

Listening to "No Sleeep" on headphones at night made all the difference.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Friday, 25 September 2015 18:29 (eight years ago) link

i'm crushed that the J. Cole remix is going to be the version on the album but the song is still good

some dude, Friday, 25 September 2015 18:59 (eight years ago) link

I found myself on a jet full of prepubescent backup dancers who were contracted to perform at her Vancouver show.

Leaked?

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 30 September 2015 19:39 (eight years ago) link

bla.p, Wednesday, 30 September 2015 20:13 (eight years ago) link

omg

insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Wednesday, 30 September 2015 20:20 (eight years ago) link

now I have to find it

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 30 September 2015 20:21 (eight years ago) link

I'm not allowed to stream at work, so I'm hoping that "yesss" and "omg" are reactions to the music itself.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 30 September 2015 20:25 (eight years ago) link

yasss

calstars, Wednesday, 30 September 2015 20:28 (eight years ago) link
