SOUND & COLOR: THE SONGS, 2015.


05/janet jackson/no sleeep

janet jackson has never not owned the instrument that is her body. you only get one, and with time, janet (ms. jackson if you're nasty/the person this one goes out to) has become fully aware of what her body wants and what it needs. and today, right here, tonight, she wants you. it's been too long. way, way, too long since we've been together: she and him, us and her,  jimmy jam + t.lewis & ms. jackson. and it's nice to have her back. nice to have her back on that grown and sexy, relinquishing yet another sensual quiet storm to add to the list of her smooth, dark and lovely slow jams. no sleeep is part anytime, anyplace and a little that's the way love goes with some i get lonely thrown in the mix. there are few things more alluring than ms. jackson on the prowl, seeking your presence or demanding it, and on no sleeep she desperately seeks her suitor, listing all that is to come and will be carried out once the two of them are alone in a room together, including, of course, no sleeep... the song itself simmers like a lowly lit fire, damn near snapping to its own beat, feeling itself, and setting the mood that janet cascades across romantically in that fetching come hither coo we've all let spark a fire within us many times before. it's fire and desire all rolled into one, exuding sexuality without flaunting it.

plush.
