For the past 10 days I have been listening to these songs in the morning and omg my days have gotten so better 😭

They just make u feel so excited and positive and I have been extra nice to everyone. Its so great, something in it.

Hey y’all!

I’m pumped for the Control 40 Concert and have my reminder set for once tickets go on sale on Thursday. This will be my first Janet concert and I’m curious about what her ticket prices have been in the past. How much have your tickets been for previous concerts and where did you sit? If you purchased VIP/Meet and Greet tickets, would love to know what that ballpark price has been too.

Thank you in advance!

like, seriously. I'm still a teen but holyyy shit. I stumbled upon this and I am absolutely dumbfounded. It's not all in your face or noisy, it is simply just perfection. The melodies are gorgeous, the vocal layering just hits hard, and the beat is so damn good. not to mention the amazing meaning and reasoning of the song. janet also looks so beautiful too.

any more recommendations please?

"Alternative R&B is having a moment. Kelela, fresh from the release of her critically acclaimed album, New Avatar, has cemented her legacy as a giant of the genre. The album, featuring collaborations with Pink Pantheress and Foushee, is a celebration of R&B at its best. Experimental, layered, and unapologetically black, New Avatar spotlights the textured intellectualism of a genre that's too often typified as the opposite. Steve Lacy has found comparable success with his latest project, Oh Yeah?, a psychedelic exploration of Lacy’s inner tumult - and what it means to be a 21st-century lover boy. 

With the positive reception of these albums and recent sell-out tours from peers like FKA Twigs, alt-R&B is making a jump into the mainstream. For a genre that has conventionally been fringe, the move is laudable. Before celebrating the genre’s success, let’s be careful not to erase those who laid the blueprint for today’s generation, foremost among them, Janet Jackson. 

As an artist who continues to push the boundaries of R&B, Jackson is undeniably a musical great. The recipient of 5 Grammy awards, 11 Billboard Music awards, and an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, her résumé places her alongside the likes of Madonna, Whitney Houston, and another Jackson, who happens to be her big brother. Despite these accolades, Jackson’s artistic legacy is often underappreciated. Whilst Madonna is widely celebrated as the queen of pop, Jackson’s name doesn’t hold such weight in R&B - it’s time to correct that."
