quietstormzz’s review of the albumThe Velvet Rope

Janet Jackson · 1997

Liner notes byquietstormzz
her most personal and most slept-on. the production's dense, the vocals bruised. Got 'til It's Gone still sounds like the future.

    1997 and Got 'til It's Gone is still the one, Q-Tip and that Joni loop doing all the heavy lifting. slept-on is the word, nobody ever files it next to the pop records. anyway

    Got 'til It's Gone flipping Joni Mitchell with Q-Tip on it was Jam and Lewis at their most fearless, still sounds ahead of everything. People sleep on how warm that whole record sounds too, not just how personal it is.
