![]() ![]() I put this and most of these other albums on my running Spotify playlist of 2015 albums. "Take Me Away" is great, "Broken Hearts Heal" is great, really a lot of it is just beautiful and euphoric even if it's not as catchy as Control or as visionary as T he Velvet Rope. Other than "Burnitup!" trying a little too hard, there's a plush, sumptuous feel to even the uptempo tracks, and Janet's voice shows its age a little, but she stays in a comfortable range. It sounds like she spent that time learning to relax and stop chasing hits, and while this isn't her best album, it may be her warmest and happiest. Having pored over Janet's back catalog before this album was released, and examining the way she kind of spiraled off into a series of frequent unsuccessful albums a decade ago, it's nice to see her come back after a 7 years and sound genuinely refreshed and rejuvenated.
