Music reviews of 20 Y.O.
Music Review: Terribly Disappointing
Rating: 1 Stars
It's difficult to even review this album, since nearly all of the tracks run together. At its best, as on the Jam & Lewis assisted "Daybreak," 20 Y.O. is a mediocre tribute to Janet's past material; at its worst, as on nearly all of the Jermaine Dupri-produced tracks (i.e. "So Excited"), the album is practically unlistenable. Janet, who gives us the same tired, sexed-up lyrics ("This Body"), gets lost in bland hip-hop beats ("Show Me"); what result are tracks that sound like outtakes from any of her host of current imitators. Once, Janet challenged herself and her listeners with trailblazing concept albums; now, she simply settles for the sound du jour, proving only that many other artists can do it better. Why does Janet continue to muddy the waters of a formerly great career with these half-baked records? 1 Star.
Description of 20 Y.O.
Since the release of her 1986 groundbreaking album Control, Janet Jackson has done just that by taking control of her career. Her groundbreaking musical style, compelling music videos and show stopping performances have impacted the world, making her an international iconic superstar. Janet's new album 20 Y.O. is the celebration of her 20 years since taking control and shows why she remains a staple in mainstream popular music.Note: Initial run of 20 Y.O. includes 4 different covers designed by contest winners.
Janet Jackson opens her much-hyped, post-wardrobe-malfunction return to the studio with the following proclamation: "I've covered a lot in my 20 years, and I've uncovered a lot in my 20 years." There's a pause, then a giggle. And then comes an honest breakdown of this disc's DNA: "I want to have fun," chimes Janet (or J., or Miss Jackson if you're nasty and can remember that far back). Fun, then, is what we get. With a light heart, a light vocal touch, and no shortage of quips and unstaged-sounding between-song cut-ups, Janet and her Jermaine Dupri-helmed posse pull together a Sunday afternoon picnic of a disc: "Enjoy," among 20 Y.O.'s standouts, hauls in a kids' choir to reinforce the keep-it-simple, spirits-skyward vibe; "So Excited" reaches back to Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" for a subtle retro reference point; "Show Me" and "Do It 2 Me" buzz along to infectious midtempo sound melanges; and "This Body" is a heavy breather reminiscent of Damita Jo's likable smut. Nelly puts in a house call for "Call on Me," another easy-beezy standout and 20 Y.O.'s nod to name-dropping, but overall it's easiest to praise this fresh and frolicsome disc for what it does without--in a break from current pop customs, nothing's twitchy or trying too hard. -- Tammy La Gorce
