Following her electrifying tribute performance at the VMA’s, Janet Jackson gave her fans a ‘special gift’ on her official website in the form of a new song called ‘Make Me’. Little officially is known about the cut, though it’s assumed it was produced by longtime collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and that (for a fact) it isn’t her new single – although it may feature on her new album.
Wow! This is Janet overload these last 48 hours! About the song, it’s classic Janet served up with a helping of Funk and a helping of a contemporary Electro-Pop undertone. After years of hearing her singing (and whispering) over harder beats (See: ‘Feedback’, ‘So Excited’), it’s surprisingly weird hearing her sing (and she is singing here) on more light-hearted production on this – which IMO gives a nod to the Janet of ‘All For You’. A little repetitive lyrically, but I’m liking this one.
The next few months should be uber interesting as we find out how Janet intends to proceed with this project of hers i.e. label, release window etc. Anyway, enough of my rambling…{Thanks Oggie!}…
…and of course let us know what you think lol….
Hit or Miss?
