  • Janet (album)

    Janet (stylized as janet.) is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Janet Jackson, released on May 18, 1993, by Virgin Records America. Prior to its release, Jackson was at the center of a high-profile bidding war over her recording contract. In 1991, her original label A&M sought to renew her contract, while others, such as Atlantic, Capitol, and Virgin all vied to sign her. After meeting with Virgin owner Richard Branson, she signed with the label for a $40 million contract, making her the world's then-highest paid musical act.

    Criticism that her success in the music industry was attributed to being a member of the Jackson family and producer-dependent artist prompted her to take greater creative control of her new album. Its title, read "Janet, period.", is meant to disassociate her public image from her family, dropping the Jackson surname. She wrote all lyrics for the album, in addition to co-producing every song and co-writing each of their arrangements with record producers and long-time collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. While the use of contemporary R&B and rap had been standard in her music, she broadened her compositions by incorporating hip hop, opera, house and jazz, eliminating the rigid, industrial sound found in her previous records. Although considered to be less innovative than previous releases, critical reception was predominately positive. In light of the fact that she composed much of the album's material and took a greater role as producer, Janet has been credited as a truer testament of her independence than Control (1986). While she had once garnered a reputation as an advocate for sexual abstinence with her 1986 single "Let's Wait Awhile", the theme of Janet is sexual intimacy—an abrupt departure from her well-known conservative image. Much of the acclaim for the album was centered on her lyrics that emphasized the female perspective on sexuality, as well as the demand for practicing safe sex.

    Janet

    by: Janet Jackson

    I heard from a friend today
    And she said you were in town
    Suddenly the memories came back to me in my
    Mind
    How can I be strong I've asked myself
    Time and time I've said
    That I'll never fall in love with you again
    A wounded heart you gave
    My soul you took away
    Good intentions you had many
    I know you did
    I come from a place that hurts
    And God knows how I've cried
    And I never want to return
    never fall again
    Making love to you
    Oh it felt so good and
    Oh so right
    So here we are alone again'
    Didn't think it'd come to this
    And to know it all began
    With just a little kiss
    I've come too close to happiness
    To have it swept away
    Don't think I can take the pain
    No never fall again
    Kinda late in the game and my heart is in
    Your hands
    Don't you stand there and then
    Tell me you love
    Me then leave again
    Cause I'm falling in love with
    You again
    Hold me
    Hold me
    Don't ever let me go
    Say it just one time
    Say you love me
    God knows I do
    Love you
    Again
