We've been waiting for Janet Jackson to return to her true roots as an artist for awhile now. In a revealing interview that aired earlier this week, Janet said that the album that reveals the most of her is "The Velvet Rope," and that shows through it's production and lyrical content. Besides, it's one of my personal favorites! The official music video for her new song "Make Me" has just premiered and I have to say i'm lovin' it, and hope that "Make Me" signifies a new change in her music, back to the dance roots but still showing us the anger and emotion that we love from Ms.Jackson."Make Me" is a song from her second greatest hits compilation "Number Ones." It was written by Jackson, Rodney Jerkins, Thomas Lumpkins, and Michaela Shiloh. Janet gave the ultimate thank you to her beloved sibling by posting this new single, and initially presented as an audio stream to those who joined her website's official mailing list, on September 14, it was released via digital download a week after. "Make Me" is a fun, breezy tune with an elastic disco beat and a high-energy Euro-dance backdrop." A lot of uptempo stuff makes you feel good. There's so many different colors of Janet.
In her latest effort, Janet, 43, returns to form with a fast-paced dance routine cut with shots of the youngest of the Jackson siblings in a white room, wearing a space-age white suit with metallic shoulder-pads. The video features a vintage Janet vibe, and is shown she doing what she does best: Janet-worthy, sexy come-on, slick choreography, glamorous shots and a remarkably upbeat and countless hat-tips to brother Michael. The best-selling artist, who has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, struts her stuff in trademark modern routines, flanked by her stylish dancers. The video was directed by Robert Hales, and filmed in black and white. The way the three-minute movie for "Make Me" is shot is reminiscent of the Scream video the singer made with her late brother Michael in their 1995 collaboration. There are some pretty risqué moves in the performance, including one where she grabs the crotch of a male dancer and pushes him forward, and it was amazing she could dance so well wearing those boots!"
"Even though Janet was marking most of the dance moves today, the choreography is obviously very complicated, and she knew it all by heart," says the eyewitness. She is expected to perform the melody "Make Me," to kick off tonight's American Music Awards, which will share the stage with stars like Carrie Underwood and Lady Gaga at Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, and it could be the 'Nasty' singer appears poised for a major comeback. Janet is about to release a two-disc set of her second greatest hits album, "Number Ones," which includes the new single "Make Me," and comprising 33 of her global number one singles. The new album is expected in the second quarter of 2010 and will be produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins.
