Janet Jackson has dropped her new single exclusively to V103 in Atlanta yesterday. “Nothing,” the first single from the soundtrack to Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too? The ballad, which was produced by Jermaine Dupri is classic Janet. But in that lies the problem.
Janet Jackson – Nothing
Personally I’m conflicted!! While I give props to Janet for returning back to her roots and signature sound, I’ve become so disgusted with her music choices the last three projects, that this almost seems like she’s admitting conceit.
Clearly the second most famous Jackson is resorting back to the safe place she should have stayed at since that damn Super Bowl fiasco. Perhaps I’m bitter that we had to wait all these years to get our girl back, and my spirit just wont allow me to embrace it — yet. I realize that Janet’s die hard fans are probably sharpening their pitchforks, and are probably going to chase me out of town like the village murderer, but I’m a little disappointed.
In my head Janet and I are great friends who’s friendship is strained due to her musical malarkey. Perhaps it’s best that she and I go our separate musical ways and settle up when I’m in a emotionally better place.
Maybe after a few listens “Nothing” will grow on me and I will once again welcome the Pop icon into my cold, black, heart. Sigh!
