Today, 28 years ago, Janet Jackson released her magnum opus, The Velvet Rope.
Her most introspective work, the concept album, fused R&B and Pop with Trip-hop, Dance, Folk, Jazz, Rock, and Techno.
Ellen Von Unwerth and Mario Testino photographed her for the album’s artwork.
@pr3ttyboynekko I think it’s bc they compare Janet 2these much younger girls yt veterans dont get compared 2Britney orTaylor As we knw Blk wmn r held 2impossible &unfair standards let’s not forget tht despite tht Janet shatters all of them &always DELIVERS any1 tlkin abt tht shld try her choreo
Watching Janet be surrounded by those who understood both her story & vision is a reminder as to how important it is to find your people.
I’m glad she was able to blossom into her own fully. #JanetJacksonDoc
Tina Turner was FORTY-FIVE when What’s Love Got To Do With It was released. The EXUBERANCE and TRIUMPH of that moment for her is so energizing and inspiring to watch.
