I miss her. Album was kinda meh tho.

[Virgos Groove]

Night and No Sleeep. I miss her.

[elevate]

Burnitup should go viral tbh.

 

I also voted for Broken Hearts Heal & Lessons Learned due to excellent taste.

[Mocha]

Night and Burnitup > careers 

[Armani?]

Sleeep deserved to be bigger

[simplywohoo]

no sleep is 100% excellence and i keep going back to it. one of the few songs of 2015 that are not by my faves that i keep listening too.

 

Edit: i just noticed NOW that it's No SleeEp

[Fancyhoodlum]

Never listened to it but I remember it being eventful 

[Mariya Takeuchi]

2 b loved & Night should have been singles. still use half the album.

[Oktober Knight]

8 years already?! Wow that was fast 

 

Top 3:

Burnitup! 

Shoulda Known Better 

The Great Forever 

[Devin]

8 years is crazy. 
 

Top 3: No Sleeep, Night, and Dammn Baby 

[descg]

I wasn't connect with the album, I only vote Dammn Baby and No Sleeep.
20 Y.O. and Unbreakable are my least favorites post Control albums.

[robbyds]

No Sleeep

Take Me Away

Night

 

A quality album that will stand the test of time. Too bad she didn't promote it at all. Deserves to be bigger!

[Kiss It Better]

ahhh this was my album in late 2015, had it on rihpeat every morning

 

my top 3:

After You Fall

Night

No Sleeep

 

[feelslikeadream]

I only voted for Shoulda Known Better cause it's the only song I can still remember now, but it's a bop! 

[Bussea]

hehe man’s sister fell off. where tf is the new album 

[Bussea]

Should’ve Know Better 

No Sleep/Broken Hearts Heal

Take Me Away

 

 this album took a lil getting used to but when it CLICKED it clicked

 

[GreatestLoveofAll]

8 years? gosh and im not even old but it feels so long ago and yet just the other day man. 

 

My three are 

 

No Sleeep

Damn Baby 

The Great Forever (one of my all-time favorite janet songs. Probably top 10, if not top 5 on a good day)

[Apolonio ₃₄]

I can’t believe it’s been that long omg!

 

Night

Black Eagle 

No Sleeep

Dreamaker/Euphoria 

BURNITUP! 

[livelikemusic]

Janet did the damn thing with Unbreakable. It felt like a return-to-form for her. Returning with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis was the right decision. I'm just sad we didn't get more videos from the era, and disappointed her partnership with BMG did not work out at the end of the day.

 

Top three:

• BURNITUP!
• The Great Forever
• No Sleeep (solo edit)

[Afterglow]

8 years?! What is she doing? Her team is just not teaming. They really seem to be about the touring coins yet she still has a major fanbase waiting for new music 

 

Night

Shoulda Known Better

Take Me Away

 

Should have been the singles.

So frustrating that we're still waiting. We really need one more fully realized and polished project from her. I'd say Unbreakable was about 80% there. i love it and listened to it a ton between 2015-2018 but haven't gone back to it so much since.

Somehow she seems to think that no one cares. I remember there was a snippet at the end of her documentary last year and she said she was surprised that people positively reacted to it and were eager to hear it .

 

In her own world it seems to have been forgotten that she was once the highest paid recording artist and that she has sold out multiple arenas over four decades. We've been ready queen!

 

OT: Unbreakable is incredible and one of my favourites of her albums. It's also probably one of her most personal in how it deals with grief and reflecting on one's past. The production is ace and the perfect blend of modern and classic sounding (both she and Jimmy and Terry nailed it once again), the vocals are superb and so are the lyrics. It kinda leans into her Joni Mitchell sensibilities and is a nice change of pace from her previous few albums. This and Made For Now are both excellent recent releases. Please bring on Black Diamond queen

Possibly her most underrated album  It was an absolute return to form and it was everything you needed from a Janet album back in 2015.

Take Me Away is still THAT song 

 

The way I've been a stan for 6 years and she has yet to release an album during that time though

The people around her gotta be the pits. A number one album at this stage in her career, multiple arena/theater  tours and a semi-hit with Made For Now  should've been enough to light a fire.

 

I love Janet, but I really think her team wastes her time and legacy. Enough greatest hits tours...she is a current popstar and should be treated as such.
