JJ & Terry Lewis on Sexy Lyrics

http://www.startribune.co...word=lewis



Even pop superstar Janet Jackson, whose fans include both the MTV and VH1 set, pushes the envelope on her latest album, " All For You, " with profanities and sexual references. The album does not have a parental advisory sticker.




Producer Jimmy Jam, who with Terry Lewis has produced all of Jackson' s multi-platinum discs, admits even he was taken aback by the song' s racy tone.




" When she brought that song and sang that to me, my first reaction was ' Whoa!" ' he said. " But I absolutely love the record."




The producer said there was no debate about putting the song on the record, despite Jackson' s legions of youthful fans. He said it reflects her maturation.




" The thing about Janet' s records ... is that they' ve always been very honest, and you've basically watched a woman grow up from the age of 18," he said. "You now have a 35-year-old woman who is embracing love and not shy saying what she would like to do or would like to have done to her."
