Janet - Damita Jo (the iconic sync listen)

[POP!]

I'm every inch a woman
Don't be shy and feel me
YEEAH- EEE-YEAAAH-EEE-YEAAAAHH
*shimmery synth cum explosion*

 

[Jark]

Put Your Hands On is on Spotify so that's basically going to change my life.

 

[POP!]

I bought the "All Nite" CD single in 2004 so must have heard this back then but my god this is fabulous. Don't remember it at all.

 

[Jark]

I'm every inch a woman
Don't be shy and feel me
YEEAH- EEE-YEAAAH-EEE-YEAAAAHH
*shimmery synth cum explosion*

imagine a whole album that sounded like this.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE JAN.

 

[Pipo]

How did this not make the album? It's a LEAD SINGLE.

See, when the demos leaked everything she said before its release about it being a Dance record made sense. I don't know who greenlit Moist and Warmth over these tracks. Like that was a good idea.

is there anything else that sounded like that?

this feels like it's been on about TEN MINUTES.

Slap a Weeknd feature on it with some extra disco strings and we have a pop comeback for the ages

 

[POP!]

"I'm Here" is a bit pedestrian and boring but then again so is a quarter of the album.

 

[Pipo]

is there anything else that sounded like that?

not really. The ones I posted all sound like B´Day b-sides but still upbeat RUCKUS MESS

Could This Be Love is another one with some PROPER PUNCH. oh, Jan.

"Clap Your Hands" is cute filler but a bit of a racket. VERY 2004. Would have fit on PCD's debut.

[Pipo]

a final one

 

[Jark]

Pops Up strongly reminds me of something from an act that's not Jan but I don't know what/who. any HELP boys? fun but generic.

but then again you rated her vagina songs above 7

 

[POP!]

Unsurprisingly "Pops Up" was produced by Rich Harrison, who was behind "Get Right" by J-LO and Amerie's Touch album.

Amerie, JLO or Beyonce? It's a Rich Harrison song so...

OMG it's the spit of Amerie's 1 Thing!

It sounds like "Get Right" fucked "Shake Ya Body" by Tyra Banks to me.

Of the bonus tracks, I'll Keep "Put Your Hands on" and that's IT

 

[Jark]

as mushy and slushy and sticky and moist as much of this album is, I think it's ultimately a good thing that she stuck to her sound instead of trend chasing with these cheap Amerie/PCD knockoffs that didn't make it. this is not a bad song but I HATE the beats. ew.
