Janet Jackson surprised friends & fans at a party celebrating the 25th-anniversary reissue of her 1997 album.
“I was going through so much in my life,” Jackson said at the event, “and it was so deep, in trying to find and figure out who I am, where I stand. And at the end of the day, like I did with the other albums, just putting it down, never keeping a journal. I’m sure a lot of you already know this. And I didn’t know if my fans would like it.
“But one of the… I guess one of the best moments of my life connected to this album [was on] the day that it was released. I was on the 405 freeway, and I was in traffic, I was headed toward the Valley, coming from Malibu, and someone honked their horn. Now by then, at that time, we had CDs. [] And this person kept honking their horn and I happened to look over, and there was a girl in the car, and she held upCD. And she smiled at me and she just nodded. It made me feel so good.
Jimmy Jam added: “I agree that it was probably the most difficult album to do, but I knew you had a lot that you needed to get off your chest. Because normally when we did the albums, we would do the music and then you’d do lyrics for the music. But this album, you had the lyrics before we even did the music. A lot of it was , you would give us the lyrics and then we’d create the music around it. So, almost like we did it backwards. But it’s the reason why it’s so personal to you.
Jackson responded to Jimmy, “Yeah, yeah. It was, it was, it was a tough one. And then when writing the melodies… it’s close to my heart. It’ll be the closest project that I’ve ever done to my heart.” In closing, Jackson thanked the crowd once more, gestured to the DJ, and said, “Now can we get a drink and just dance?” The crowd roared in agreement. The next song the DJ played? “Together Again.”
