At the
vibrant age of 50 Janet Jackson is still letting us know who is in control. She
is an iconic legend who produces music that creates change, breaks barriers and
manifests hit after hit. In 1986 she
made her musical debut with her first album Control.
She created other hits such as Rhythm Nation
(1989), Janet (1993), Design of a Decade (1995) and The Velvet Rope (1997).
Her
musical journey has presented her with multiple nominations and awards.
However, in the past seven years Janet Jackson disappeared from the music scene
after the death of her brother, Michael Jackson. In her absence the evolution
of music changed drastically, but in 2015 rumors began to surface about her
return to music.
Fans
around the globe finally got a personal confirmation from the pop icon about a
new album. Unbreakable is her most
recent CD that was released in October 2015. The album has a powerful message
in her journey of healing, finding peace and getting back to making music that
matters.
Unbreakable is a collection of
music that reminds me of the Janet Jackson I first fell in love with in the
80’s. Songs such as No Sleeep remind
of her 1993 hit That’s The Way Love Goes.
Other songs on her album include The
Great Forever, Broken Hearts Heal, Take Me Away, Lessons Learned, Dream Maker
and Burn It Up!
Her
album Unbreakable revealed a more
refined, wise, mature and peaceful Janet Jackson. Janet’s album debuted as the
number one album on Billboard in October 2015.
I enjoyed the album from beginning to end. Although, she has postponed
her tour due to her pregnancy, Janet Jackson continues to remind us that she is
unbreakable!
