This brand of white, racially ambiguous women making R&B/Neo Soul music is a bit unsettling to me because the music is undeniably good- but I can’t ignore the subtle incorporation of black femme aesthetics and the intentionality behind that

One of my FAV Janet tracks...

What a DAMN GOOD album Miss Janet released!!!! I invite the youngins to stream the title track, 'Son Of A Gun,' or 'Someone To Call My Lover.' You'll get hooked!

SMASH

My Grandmother came out, but I didn’t have time to switch it back to her gospel station so I jump in the backseat. This song comes on and my grandmother got excited thinking Janet made a gospel song. She remixed it saying “It’s All For You…. Jesus” 🤣💯

She wasn’t letting the younger girls get by her!!

Miss Janet had teenage me in a choke hold.

High school memories

Using Change's The Glow Of Love.

And it should’ve had 6 singles instead of 3!!!

Crazy how this is like her 7th best album and she was still eating the girls up! 🤍🤌🏾

One of my favorite Janet videos!

I can’t believe that I was 9 when this album came out. The song, “All For You” lives on many of my playlists because how could it not?
