I think "r&b junkie" also uses the bassline of "Last night a dj saved my life"

I haven't heard "R&B Junkie" yet, but it isn't credited as having that sampled.

[color=blue:e3ec91ac61]I like the CD overall. Its a little more mid-tempoy than I'd hoped for, but overall I'm feelin' it. Anyone who grew up in the 80s will appreciate "R&B junkie". It kinda reminds me of that song "I'm In Love" by Evelyn "Champagne" King or anything by Cherrelle back in the days. I like "Damita Jo". Its a good intro song. Bouncy, but cool. "Sexhibition" is THE CUT. Dallas Austin hooked that one up really well. One of the more powerful r&b songs on the CD. It kinda sounds like it was made to compete with Beyonce's song "Naughty Girl". "Island Life" is standard "Janfunk" in the vein of "We Go Deep" but much tamer. Its backdropped by some fantastic string lines and very nice chord arrangements. Musically, "Like You Don't Love Me" sounds like something SWV would release if they dropped a new CD. Vocally, its mediocre. She does a little bit of that D'Angelo-slightly-behind-the-beat singing (which should be left to D). Its a pretty well done track, but something about it rubs me wrong. "Could this be Love" reminds me of Lucy Pearl a little bit. Its softly sung with that consistent rhythm that Raphel Saddiq tends to drop in mid tempo songs. "Thinking Bout My Ex" is COLD! Its a hard truth for a lot of men, but for all the fellas that are "Mr. Right Now", this'll probably hit home. "Warmth" is...well...DAMN! Think "Ooh Baby". Moist is like the Aalyiah-like remix of "Warmth" or something. SloLove, ironically is the most up-tempo song on the CD. Not nerly the caliber of cuts like "Free Xone", though. Its her only real high energy dance track on the CD, so Jandance fans better enjoy it, cause that's all they get on this one unless you count "Strawberry Bounce" which to me is the most musically disappointing record on the CD. It should have been an outtake for download as a bonus AFTER the CD was released. I wasn't feelin' that Kanye West track "My Baby" either. It sounds like rehashed Janet from "All For You". This CD is different from her others in that is seems much less contrived and much more loose and relaxed. I'm not saying that's a good thing. Its just how it seems to me. This record is missing a "make you think" song like "What About" or "Rhythm Nation". Its also void on anger. I don't mind that. Its a much more mellow, fun-in-the-sun Janet record.[/color]


I've only listened to "All Night (Don't Stop)" (I'm waiting for the 30th!) and I am CRAZY over it! What did you think of that one? I think it's amazing.

From the samples I've heard and judging from "Just a Little While", "I Want You", and "All Night" and the reviews and comments of others, this album seems like everything All For You was supposed to be.


Can you please tell me where you heard the full verison of "All Night". I can't wait a full week cause I'm weak for some Janet!

I heard the full version of "All Night" on a Janet site that has taken the new songs down, the last time I checked. I went to listen to it last night, and it was gone! I don't know where you can find it now, but if I see it, I'll let you know. My current obsession is "Put Your Hands On", which is a Japanese bonus track. Since the album was released today in Japan, I downloaded it from www.janetmultimedia.com and it's absolutely awesome. You'll love it, and you gotta go listen to it!

I saw the video for "JALW" tonite and it sounds like and looks like JJ is going for a relatively subtler sound and look. It's a good track. I can't say I will be buying the LP tho.

I know that one site that had the samples dropped them pretty quickly. I will definately have to get my ears around those Japanese only tracks. I loved "Who" and thought it would have been an impressive addition to AFY,

I know; "Who" is a great song, and I would have loved to see that live!

Unfornately, the Japanesse bonus tracks aren't there anymore. So sad!

In more "Damita Jo" news, I just went to Circuitcity.com and under the first music page they have Damita Jo under the coming soon section...but spell it "Damita Joe". When you click on the CD, it's spelled right and apprently they will be selling an LP verison of the album for only $12.99. I didn't think LP were that common anymore and the price seems really good.
