Missy Elliot brings the funk and spunk as Janet two-steps and burns it up for a full four-minute cardio workout. “BURNITUP!” is a blast from the past that works not only for the album but for long-time fans looking for the quintessential dance cut from the woman who could potentially out dance MJ-remember their epic dance routine in the “Scream” video. She’s married, back to making music and is full of positive energy as it shows throughout the project. Nonetheless, the introduction track makes it obvious the trio is back and as Janet is more comfortable than she has been in more than a decade. The album kicks off with Janet’s signature baby-skin soft vocals on the easy-going, laid back love song, “Unbreakable.” The harmonies invoke memories of the King of Pop, but she’s long since established her own identity. Janet, Terry and Jimmy managed to architect the perfect infusion of influences from her some of her best albums the Velvet Rope, All For You and J anet. Her vocals as sweet and whispery as ever, the oxymoron of classic contemporary Janet is finally back as she focused on highlighting her resilience on Unbreakable.

Time away from the spotlight allowed Janet to reconnect with, arguably the only two producers who could get it right-the men behind her classic 1986 compilation Control Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Eventually, as time passed and music evolved, Janet was left to hang in the rafters alongside other greats.īut a hiatus seemed to be the best remedy. While she attempted to rebrand by experimenting with an assortment of A-Listers from The-Dream to Ne-Yo, Stargate and Jermaine Dupri on her tenth album Discipline, it turned out to be one her lowest selling albums to date. Following her 2004 Super Bowl “nipple gate” controversy, Janet was ostracized and failed to ever achieve Damita Jo ‘s stature. It must be said that for more than 14-years, the pop star failed to chart a number 10 single in the United States as her career has had a fair share of blows. The May announcement was the first sign of new material since 2008’s Discipline. She revealed in a special birthday tweet she was “listening” and was ready to deliver in 2015. When Janet Jackson announced that she would be returning to music with a world tour and a new album, fans were excited.
