Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.
His forthcoming album features Kelis and Jarvis Cocker and collaborations with Janet Jackson and P Diddy are mooted.
The source says Diddy became irate when he found out that Winans, whom he manages, had produced a song and a publishing executive at record label EMI wanted to use it for an upcoming Janet Jackson album. Diddy has reportedly wanted to work on a Jackson project for a long time, and other than appearing on the remix of SON OF A GUN on her album ALL FOR YOU, he has yet to get the opportunity to actually produce for her.
However, what she's feeling at the middle time of the album is usually what the album ends up being.
On the go-go inflected stroll of “Spending Time With You,” Jackson sings of wanting to “Use all our energy/Under the moonlight making love.”
A terrific track like “R&B Junkie” doesn’t have very much to say—it’s a hazy salute to old school R&B ... (However inept it is at telling, though, certainly basing a song around a sample of Evelyn “Champagne” King’s glistening boogie classic “I’m in Love” is a way of showing the degree to which Jackson was an R&B junkie.
On the album’s first single, “Just a Little While,” which combines frenetic breaks, elements of ’80s new wave guitars, and keyboards almost certainly inspired by Prince’s “Dirty Mind,”
this song was an ode to the addictive qualities of the dance floor and should have been a major smash hit
She pulls us in, though, with the delicious Quiet Storm cuts: "Spending Time With You," "Warmth" and "Truly." Her vocals are feathery, layered and almost hypnotic.
But when I'm onstage, it's my alter ego, and it kind of does adjust my personality.
Earwig flags the various quotes.
The album art and two song samples have an NFUR.
The images are all CC-licensed, PD, or have a VRT ticket. Encouragement: Alt text of "Refer to caption" is probably all that is needed for the images other than the album art.
