JANET’S BIT OF DISCIPLINE
ABOVE: Janet Jackson18th January 2008 Your Shout
I’VE had a sneak peek at two of this year’s biggest albums, Janet Jackson’s Discipline and That Chick by Mariah Carey.

I can reveal that Janet, 41, kicks out the slow jams in favour of club bangers on her strongest and most varied collection in donkey’s years.

Destiny’s Child producer Rodney Jerkins, 30, is the man behind the standout cuts. Sweet, synth heavy lead-off track Love Love Love is the musical equivalent of Fruit Pastels while buzzy hook fest Feedback is the girl’s best single in a decade.

Elsewhere the deliciously Stevie Wonder-ish This Can’t Be Good highlights Janet’s whisper-quiet vocal texture, while Tonight sounds like a future No 1.

Only the super sexy (or plain filthy) title track, a ballad penned by Ne-Yo, 26, misses the mark.

As for Mariah it’s more of the same from the world’s biggest-selling recording artist.

If anything there’s less schmaltz this time as the Long Island babe concentrates on blowing bass bins.

The brassy Lovin’ You Long Time’s riff gets more uplifting by the second while Mariah, 37, does a mean R Kelly impersonation on Touch My Body.

Pick of the bunch is the Janet-like title track That Chick, with its “taste me, gotta flavour like ice cream” hook.

Janet’s Discipline drops February 25, Mariah’s That Chick follows on April 1.

Dude...I'm gonna cum when I listen to J's new album

The cover is alright.

But the title...

However, hope the project turns out well!

God this is drivin' me NUTS. i'm so fuckin' head over heels already.

funnily Mariah Journal's poll shows that people voted That Chick as best title, so far.

PricelessHo said:

What are the other choices?

The Qtip produced track better be on there....Man no James Poyser or Big Jim Wright...I wonder who did the slower tracks apart from Brian Micahel Cox? this wil be her first hip hop soul album?

Out of Control

Which title do you like?

twink69 said:

Q-Tip was mentioned as a producer? coz i'm not sure i recall that one.

as for the ballads, err no idea about that either. it's killing me.

Rodya24 said:

i liked how Out of Control is going to be titled O.O.C. in the album (according to the review) so i am rooting for that one.

It's even more intriguing.

PricelessHo said:

I’m voting like it’s friggin’ American Idol!

LMAO Jackie. what is your pick?

PricelessHo said:

Well, I’m voting for OOC since it’s the second biggest but I don’t mind Migrate. Heat is not bad either but I keep thinking of Toni Braxton’s The Heat. Why didn’t she just call it Fire.

JackieBlue said:

Im thinking they want to stay away from "Heat" or "fire" mainly because critics would have a field day with that if the album gets bad reviews. Things like "Mariahs Fire isnt even a spark" or "Mariahs Heat isnt even warm", things like that, and we know they will do that. That Chick is just going to be made of, she could play it safe and just go with "Mariah". Also, unless she secretly re-negotiated, this is her last album on her deal.

JackieBlue said:

you know, i remember this rumor a few weeks ago saying the album's going to be titled "stone winner"

now THAT makes That Chick super sophisticated

:tries to console jackie:

I hear ya lastdecember but won’t they be just as cruel with That Chick? How can you not? It’s begging for puns and sarcasm.

@ Stone Winner. What about Hot Tamale? She needs to keep it simple:

Mariah
Mimi
M
For You
Migration
For Real
Touch

now Hot Tamale would've scored the BEST fat mimi pix

She should've named it Hot Tamale. It's better than THAT CHICK

RED hot divas MARIAH CAREY and JANET JACKSON are going head to head this spring by releasing comeback albums just weeks apart.

The curvy twosome have scheduled their make or break collections around the same time to maximise their impact.

Music Biz have had an exclusive listen to both of the records and reckon they’re both strong efforts.

Janet’s offering, Discipline, is an X-rated affair.

The title track focuses on her famous Superbowl nipple-flashing incident before plunging into adult territory.

She apologises to her “daddy” for “touching herself”. She goes on: “I can smell you on my sheets/ Daddy I disobeyed you/ Now come punish me/ I’ve been bad, make me cry”.

The rest of the effort is stuffed with an immaculate selection of club tracks and lung-bursting ballads.

Mariah’s LP, That Chick, features a string of collaborations with the hottest rappers around.

Migrate featuring T-PAIN is a titanic future crunk smash.

Not so successful is the diva’s duet with DAMIAN MARLEY called Cruise Control, where she slips into a cringeworthy Jamaican accent, singing: “Me say no man, tink I’m jokin’?”

The listening session at a top London hotel was hosted by Island Records CEO ANTONIO REID.

And he didn’t miss the opportunity to taunt ailing British label EMI.

He gloated: “That’s a music company. Well, it used to be.

“We realised that it would take some work with Janet after her last two EMI albums weren’t successful, just like the last Mariah EMI album.”

Well LA is a good talker, which is his job for the most part, HYPE builder. But he should play it safe because labels in general will all feel it soon, EMI is getting it now because they have a smaller roster, shit comes around real quick, especially with the American Finanacial market nearing a "recession". Taunting may be cool for HYPE but as the Dallas Cowboys learned, you might be crying in the end.

I remember her saying who she worked with and she ended up with 22 songs but had to cut half of them off the record. She said she was sad about that but they could turn up on different releases in other countries.

VoicesCarry said:

Now they're calling both of them comeback albums?

I'm scared of Janet.

Mariah, say no to Jamaican accents, please.

JackieBlue said:

Comeback is the word they use so everyone runs out to buy it, its the new HYPE word. Just put out your record, stop telling me its a comeback, i really could care less about LA's opinion. And just to prove its a HYPE word, here are some other "comeback" labeled records coming this year, Usher, No Doubt, Coldplay, Shakira, just to name a few, none of these are comebacks, everytime you record its not a "comeback".

Speaking of Usher's comeback, I think I heard a new song by him. It was so busy and noisy and all over the place. I'm not a fan by any means but I wonder if it's considered a hot track.
