About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Where janet., Ms. Jackson's third blockbuster album, implied sexuality with its teasing cover and seductive grooves, its sequel, The Velvet Rope, is sexually explicit, offering tales of bondage, body piercing, and bisexuality. Working with her mainstays Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Jackson essentially reworks the hushed atmosphere of janet., without putting a new sonic spin on the material. With a running time of 70-plus minutes and 22 tracks, the album is simply too long, which is unfortunate, because there are good moments on The Velvet Rope. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

February 11, 2004: This album chnaged the way i once viewed myself. It changed my thoughts about evrything. I love this album. It was a very open way of expression that i didn't expect from Janet. This was my 1st taste of her music (a whole album) and i must say it made me a fan. I hope she cont. 2 push the envelope and give people a since that they are not alone.

January 29, 2003: This introspective, multi-faceted concept album takes you deep into Janet's previously untouched inner turmoil. Janet pulls back her own velvet rope, revealing a darker side of herself as she sheds her burdens and demonstrates a new depth and realness both personally and in songwriting. While the journey is not always as upbeat as in Janet's prior works, the openness and vulnerability acheived by the album's end makes the journey worth what Janet has made a very enjoyable ride. Especially notable : You, Got 'Til It's Gone, My Need, Empty, Anything.
