有年輕朋友是1993年5月18日出生的嗎?

1993年的今天(5/18),有一張我小時候(?)很喜歡的流行音樂專輯誕生了,所說的就是當時的西洋流行天后Janet Jackson(傳奇家族團體The Jacksons老么)發表了開啟她90年代性感成熟的華麗冒險的重要專輯《Janet》: https://apple.co/3eSHiYS

這張《Janet》,發表在她以超過三千萬美元的鉅額簽約金被網羅至Virgin旗下(當時最昂貴的唱片合約)之後;而轉換東家後Janet Jackson換上讓人耳目一新的性感美豔形象(後來出現在限量雙CD版本封面上那Janet Jackson上半身全裸只有一名男子從後抱住胸部的照片也喧騰一時)之餘,新作《Janet》在音樂上也嘗試走向更細膩嫵媚的都會節奏藍調路線,但依然有我自己相當喜愛、與過去〈Black Cat〉( https://youtu.be/qH-rPt1ftSo )分庭抗禮的重節奏之作〈If〉,被Billboard形容為「搖滾跳舞單曲」:

K-pop女團少女時代(Girl's Generation)成員俞利(Yuri)曾以個人姿態翻唱過〈If〉:

還有今年剛勇奪葛萊美最佳跳舞/電子專輯大獎的Kaytranada也曾炮製過一個很chill的remix版本:

而說到〈Black Cat〉,不得不提收錄這首名曲的1989年前作《Rhythm Nation 1814》,則透過Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis這對new jack swing金牌搭擋的巧手雕塑,率先紮紮實實地為Janet Jackson的天后地位奠下深厚的根基。專輯中不但包含了〈Miss You Much〉、〈Escapade〉與〈Black Cat〉三首冠軍曲在內的七首Top 10暢銷曲,更重要的是音樂上大量融入Funk基因所為Janet Jackson打造出能量滿點的獨特節奏藍調風貌,還要配合上當時她那宛若女強人般霸氣造型的形象(記得那一身軍裝般的黑色勁裝嗎?),更是相輔相成,令人震撼:
