Janet Jackson's newest single is going to be released in late May, producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis say. "We wanted to make this single a hot beat for the summer enduring a lasting impression." The new single is sampling a classic hit, Shiela E's "Glamorous Life." " We just added some high bass and tough beats which makes this a single that's going to impact hip hop's style," says Jermaine Dupri, the executive producer of the album. Janet's album will follow through late summer and early fall. The album is to feature one surprise guest and will include 20 brand new tracks. Janet's last album "Damita Jo" debuted at #2 on Billboard Charts and has sold 985,000 copies according to Nielsen Scan.

what crap...

I'm sure I'll love it.

I wonder if they kept it at the same tempo.

JD been takin' us back to `84 lately with that LL cut now this.

Man I really dug Velvet Rope,Janet,1814 this and that but more so I'm a fan of Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis. If they are involved on a good portion of the album, I think it will be good. If her boyfriend has the upper hand creatively, well...
Empty from Velvet was one of the most musically forward thinking things Janet has ever done. She's done others, but that was pretty much one of the last. IMO.
I'd like to see her "experiment" more.Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis did that at times. Unfortunately, I don't think that will be the case this time out.

This could be awful. JD's influence is getting to be a bit too much...Not good.

I wouldn't be surprised if JD laced her with a big-ass minneapolis sample like that though.

Getting to be...How about already has.
But let's give Janet the benefit of the doubt and see what the new stuff sounds like.

One more turd that's nothing but beat and the melody of an old song. What happended? Why can't people think of something new?

I dont know, but I woudda still had been interested to see what someone could do with sampling The Glamorus Life though. Anyway this got to be fake. Why is JD always talking and talking for Janet basically telling everything about the album, but no word from Janet her self.
Lets just wait 4 the suprise peoples

calldapplwondery83 said:

thank you...what about writing a new groove or a new melody for a change ???

In a perfect world...

THE ARTICLE IS FAKE, AND HAS BEEN TROLLING AROUND JANET BOARDS FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. IT WAS ORIGINALLY CREDITED TO "TOKYO STARS MAGAZINE" (EVEN THOUGH IT IS WRITTEN IN THE FORMAT OF A BILLBOARD PIECE), WHICH DOES NOT EVEN EXIST. THE COMMENTS IN THIS ARTICLE WERE NEVER MADE BY JIMMY & TERRY OR ANY OTHER PRODUCER. THUS FAR WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT JANET'S NEW SINGLE. SO LET'S ALL DO OUR PART & STOP POSTING FAKE SHIT!.

WELL FUCKIT IF THEY WON'T SAMPLE "GLAMOROUS LIFE" I WILL.

Forreal I've been sitting here imagining how that might sound with some changes to it, and it sounds pretty cool in my brain.

CinisterCee said:

we're waiting...

CinisterCee said:

you'll probably have to clear it with Prince

True or NOT the world does NOT need another sampled song of ANY kind.

That's like saying "the electric guitar is played out".

She is also doing a cover of Debbie Deb's song WEEKEND. Janet's version is awful. I'm sorry.

Go down to the very bottom.

Ok, now I try not to provide criticism when it comes to songwritting and producing. Because as "artists & "producers" we all choose to express ourselves in different ways. That is what makes us "unique" At one point Jimmy and Terry led the pack. Now it's seems that they're now following suit. I've studied a lot of their material and I'm sorry a lot of their "HITS" came from ONE SONG....."Im only human" by the human league. Heres a list:

Tender Love-Force MD's
If you were here with me-2night Alexander Oneal
Tell me if you still Care-SOS Band
Can U stand the rain-New Edition
Sensitivity-Ralph Tresvant
Money cant' buy U love- Ralph Tresvant "Mo money Soudtrack"
Giving my all to you-Johnny Gill
On Bended knee-Boyz 2 Men
Come back to me-Janet Jackson

and probably a few others I forgot. what bothers me is that when people cant come up with anything ORIGINAL. They go to the Last resort of sampling a classic. WHY????? Her 1st 3 joints (releases) with Jimmy and Terry will always be my Favs. I will say this, The Industry is need of a wake up call and there's a revolution going on right now(musically speaking that is) in every basement, in every home studio accross the GLOBE!. And everything that is underground will reach above ground(mainstream) without compromise. Remeber.....The EXOUDUS has begun. The Best thing Janet could do for her career is to leave JD out of the production side(Damita Jo is a good example)
