With a career as colossal as Janet Jackson‘s, resonating albums define the length and breadth of her discography. For many, one of the legend’s most revered efforts is 1997’s ‘The Velvet Rope’ – home to classics such as ‘I Get Lonely’ and ‘Got ‘Til It’s Gone.’
Fittingly, then, the superstar is toasting to the LP’s upcoming 25th anniversary with the newly announced celebratory release ‘The Velvet Rope: Deluxe Edition.’
Full story below…
Set for release this Friday (October 7, the exact day of its original arrival), the new incarnation of the album will fuse the original record with 10 new-to-platform bonus tracks (rarities, B-sides, and remixes) – which are being made available on streaming platforms for the first time.
Included are ‘Accept Me’ and ‘God’s Stepchild,’ as well as Teddy Riley‘s TNT Remix of ‘I Get Lonely’ with BLACKstreet.

Wow! This is the first time I’ve seen a positive comment from Shayla. A comment that isn’t filled with hate & bullying. A comment that isn’t mean spirited. A comment that doesn’t mention Monica or Normani. A comment that, most TGJ reader will probably agree, is a welcome change. Thank you Shayla. Thank you for finally presenting yourself as a Queen. Please keep it up!!

Janet said furry lives matter so i love her now #beyonceisstillbetter
The Princess of Pop! TVR was a game changer. This generation doesn’t understand how this album completely changed the 90’s musical landscape. Its impact is still seen today. Janet is a certified LEGEND.
@Cutie: You are CORRECT…this generation is clueless. But clues are available to purchase. So proud of Janet’s team for getting this one right. Now we just need some of her vault music…
Im cool like that u know the coolest on this site. Im literally on my LL Cool J

No, her team is not trying to GET IT RIGHT!!!!!! THIS is what they should be doing with every album anniversary. Let me go and get some coins although I already have all these tracks separately, LOL.
