Control is the third studio album past American singer Janet Jackson, released on Feb four, 1986, by A&M Records. Her collaborations with the songwriters and record producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis resulted in an anarchistic sound: a fusion of rhythm and dejection, rap vocals, funk, disco, and synthesized percussion that established Jackson, Jam and Lewis as the leading innovators of contemporary R&B. The distinctive triplet swing beat utilized on the record is also considered to be a precursor to the new jack swing genre. The anthology became Jackson'south commercial breakthrough and enabled her to transition into the popular music market, with Control condign one of the foremost albums of the 1980s and contemporary music.

Containing autobiographical themes, a majority of the album'due south lyrics came as the upshot of a serial of changes in her life: a recent annulment of her matrimony to vocalizer James DeBarge, severing her business affairs from her father and managing director Joseph and the remainder of the Jackson family, hiring the A&M executive John McClain as her new management, and her subsequent introduction to Jam and Lewis. The album has been praised by critics as both an artistic feat and as a personal testament of self-appearing. It has also been regarded every bit a template upon which numerous female artists accept modeled their careers, specially Blackness women.

Post-obit its release, Command became Jackson'south first anthology to top the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States and five of its commercial singles—"What Have Yous Washed for Me Lately", "Nasty", "Control", "When I Retrieve of You", and "Let's Look Awhile"—peaked within the top v of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, making Jackson the first female person artist to have 5 top v hits from i anthology on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; "When I Recollect of You" became the singer's first number one striking. Command also ready a record for the longest continuous run of charting singles on the Hot 100, at 65 sequent weeks. Music videos created to promote the album's singles showcased her dancing ability and became a catalyst for MTV's evolving demographics. The album remained on the Billboard 200 chart for over ii years. It has been certified 5 times platinum by the Recording Manufacture Association of America (RIAA) and has sold more than x million copies worldwide.[1] [2] [3]

Control went on to receive several accolades, including a nomination for the Grammy Honor for Album of the Twelvemonth and winning Producer of the Year, Non-Classical for Jam and Lewis in 1987. It is listed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as i of the 200 Definitive Albums of All Time, in addition to being included in several publications "best of" album lists. In 2016, it was selected for exhibition in the National Museum of African American History and Civilisation (NMAAHC).

Background [edit]

Joseph Jackson, patriarch of the Jackson family of musicians, was known for managing the careers of all 9 of his children - near notably, the successful career of The Jackson 5.[iv] After arranging a recording contract with A&G in 1982 for a then 16-year-old Janet, he oversaw the unabridged production of her debut album, Janet Jackson, and its follow-up, Dream Street (1984); the latter of which was written and produced by her brothers Marlon and Michael, and Jesse Johnson.[v] Best known as a television extra, she was initially reluctant to begin a recording career. She said, "I was coming off of a Television receiver show that I absolutely hated doing, Fame. I didn't want to do [the get-go record, Janet Jackson]. I wanted to become to college. Only I did it for my father ..." and elaborated that she was often in conflict with her producers.[6] Among her professional struggles, she rebelled confronting her family'south wishes by marrying James DeBarge of the family recording grouping DeBarge in 1984. The Jacksons disapproved of the relationship, citing DeBarge's immaturity and substance abuse. Jackson left her hubby in January 1985 and was granted an annulment later that yr.[vii]

Jackson afterward fired her begetter every bit her manager and employed John McClain, and so A&M Records' senior vice president of artists and repertoire and general manager.[8] Commenting on the decision, she stated, "I just wanted to go out of the house, exit from under my male parent, which was 1 of the nigh difficult things that I had to do, telling him that I didn't want to work with him over again."[6] Joseph Jackson resented John McClain for what he saw every bit an underhanded endeavor to steal his daughter'due south career out from under him, stating, "I've worked difficult for my family unit. The trouble comes, though, when others come in behind you and effort to steal them away. The wheels take already been set for Janet Jackson. Anyone who jumps on at present will be getting a free ride."[ix] McClain responded past saying "I'chiliad non trying to pimp Janet Jackson or steal her away from her father."[ix] He after introduced her to the songwriting/production duo of James "Jimmy Jam" Harris 3 and Terry Lewis, former Prince associates and ex-members of The Time.[10]

Composition and production [edit]

When Jam and Lewis agreed to produce Jackson's third studio anthology, they wanted to entreatment primarily to the African American community, in improver to achieving crossover success on the pop music charts. Jam commented in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, "We wanted to exercise an anthology that would be in every blackness home in America ... nosotros were going for the black album of all time."[4] Earlier their association with Jackson, Jam and Lewis had originally planned to record an album with tracks they wrote for Sharon Bryant, but she establish their lyrics and sound to exist too "rambunctious".[xi] The duo presented the aforementioned set of recordings to Jackson, who gave her input and took co-writing and co-production credits for the album's content.[eleven] Jam and Lewis recalled that to collaborate with Jackson on the material, they spent the first week only getting to know their new customer. Lewis explained, "We got into her caput. Nosotros saw what she was capable of, what she wanted to say, where she wanted to exist, what she wanted to exist. We put together some songs to fit her as we saw her, equally she revealed herself to u.s.. Information technology was equally uncomplicated as that."[12]

For the song "What Have Y'all Done for Me Lately", which was originally penned for ane of Jam and Lewis's own records, the lyrics were rewritten to convey Jackson's feelings about her contempo disparateness from James DeBarge.[xiii] The song was chosen as the pb unmarried for Command, equally Jam and Lewis felt it best represented Jackson's outlook on life.[xiii] "Nasty", which in Jackson'due south opinion was the most innovative song on the album, was inspired by her feel with street harassment in Minneapolis past a group of men outside the hotel she resided at during the recording of Control.[13] She recalled, "They were emotionally abusive. Sexually threatening. Instead of running to Jimmy or Terry for protection, I took a stand. I backed them downward. That's how songs similar 'Nasty' and 'What Take You Done for Me Lately' were born, out of a sense of self-defense."[14] Jimmy Jam wrote and played the keyboard arrangement, with Jackson playing the accompaniment. Groundwork vocals were sung by Jackson, Jam and Lewis.[13] The distinctive triplet swing beat of the vocal was developed by Jam on an Ensoniq Mirage keyboard.[13] "Let'due south Wait Awhile" was centered on prophylactic sex and abstinence, a subject area of significant social commentary at the time. Jam commented that it is mutual practice for songwriters to use current events as a ways of inspiration for lyrics and that the AIDS pandemic had raised sensation about sexually transmitted diseases. He commented, "The theme of the song ('Let's Wait Awhile') was Janet'south idea. She's not a preachy person. She'due south not telling people how to alive their lives. All she's doing is offering an opinion."[fifteen]

Although Joseph Jackson initially demanded that his girl'south new album be recorded in Los Angeles so that he could go along an middle out for her, Jam and Lewis refused.[12] They required the entire production of the album to be done at their own studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota, "far from the glitter and distractions of Hollywood and the interference of manager-fathers."[12] Jam stated, "We required that they put her in our hands. We had to practice it on our turf, with no bodyguards, no star trips and none of Joe Jackson'south people hanging around making suggestions."[12] Command was recorded at Flyte Tyme Studios, the site for Flyte Tyme Records, founded by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in Minneapolis. "There'due south a lilliputian radiator I used to sit on when we did the Control anthology," Jackson recalled in 1993.[16] John McClain served as the executive producer.[17] [xviii]

Jam and Lewis were the primary instrumentalists for the recording, including percussion, piano, drums, and as well provided background vocals.[11] [18] Jackson accompanied Jam and Lewis on keyboard and took part in composing the arrangements.[11] [18] Stephen Holden of The New York Times observed the album was a prominent instance of the developing relationship with musicians and modern engineering, stating "... technology has altered the grade, shape, scale and even the meaning of popular music ... The album wasn't created by a studio band, equally were most pop-rock albums in the 1960s and '70s, but by the producers and the singer programming mechanized drum and keyboard textures."[19] Jackson's father disapproved of the new material and image of Control, claiming it would never sell.[9] In a cover story for Spin magazine titled "Damn It, Janet: The Battle for Control of Janet Jackson," Joseph was reported maxim "[i]f Janet listens to me, she'll be as large every bit Michael."[twenty] She and McClain disregarded his objections.[ix] Commenting on the final product, Jackson stated: "It's aggressive, cocky, very forward. It expresses exactly who I am and how I feel. I've taken control of my own life. This fourth dimension I'm gonna do information technology my way."[21]

Album cover [edit]

Fashion photographer and illustrator Tony Viramontes created the stylized cover for the new anthology and the singles "Nasty" and "Command". Jackson said of Viramontes, "He was very creative, and I believe one twenty-four hour period his work will exist iconic. He was such a joy to work with. I miss him."[22] Writer Dean Rhys Morgan in Assuming, Beautiful and Damned: The Globe of Mode Illustrator Tony Viramontes discusses how Jackson was "transformed from a former child star into an assured fashion forrard figure with her trendsetting large hair and severe all black ensemble. Until this point, Jackson had been more a reflection than pioneer, more interpreter than innovator. This album was all most Janet and who she wanted to exist."[22] Alexander Fury wrote in The Independent, "the artwork created with Eighties illustrator Tony Viramontes for Control stands the test of time."[23]

Release and promotion [edit]

Although A&Thousand did not consider a total concert bout to promote Jackson's anthology, the label funded a 3-week promotional tour across the United States in thirteen cities following its release.[24] In addition to the studio release, a remix anthology, Control: The Remixes, was released in select countries in November 1987.[25] Jackson's lyrical expression has been noted as i of the key elements of the album'due south success. Author Dave Marsh in The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made (1999) comments: "Certainly, Janet must take written her own lyrics, which went later men—in particular, not very well disguised stand-ins for her male parent and former married man—more venomously than some other guy would accept dared. Control, the resulting album, was 1 of the best-sellers of 1986–1987, producing five hit singles."[11]

Jesus Garber, so-manager of A&M's black music marketing and promotion, noted that in addition to crossover promotion from black to pop music charts, music video was utilized to launch Jackson into superstardom.[26] Eric Henderson of Slant Mag credits the release of Control as "the birth of Janet the music video star, as 6 of the nine tracks were turned into popular videos that all but announced her equally queen of the production dance number."[27] Henderson commented that Jackson's dancing power, trained by a then-unknown Paula Abdul, simply served to propel her into further stardom.[27] Charlie Minor, and then-senior vice president of promotion for A&1000 stated: "The images completed the image of Janet Jackson with the buyer ... They gave her a face, dance, action identity with the songs, and a visual image of her as a rock 'n' roll star."[26] Jonathan Cohen of Billboard magazine commented "[Jackson's] accessible sound and spectacularly choreographed videos were irresistible to MTV, and helped the channel evolve from stone programming to a broader, crush-driven musical mix."[28] The video for "Nasty" received iii nominations for the 5th annual 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, winning Best Choreography for Paula Abdul.[29]

Commercial performance [edit]

Control debuted at number 84 on the Billboard 200 on March 8, 1986, and at number 26 on the Peak R&B/Black Albums on March one, 1986. Later twenty weeks, it topped the Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Black Albums chart, selling 250,000 copies in a unmarried calendar week, a record for an album by a female artist.[30] [31] [a] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) first certified Command gilded in April 1986, denoting 500,000 units shipped within the Us.[32] Two months later, in June 1986, the album was RIAA certified platinum, denoting 1 million units shipped.[32] Three years later, Control was RIAA certified fivefold platinum in October 1989.[32] By 1990, Control had sold v million copies in the United States[33] and every bit of Dec 2009, the album has sold 496,000 copies in the U.S. since 1991 according to Nielsen SoundScan, which does not count albums sold through clubs like the BMG Music, where she sold 883,000.[34] Combined, it has sold over 6,379,000 copies in the U.South.[35] Since its debut, Control has sold over 10 meg copies worldwide.[ane]

The anthology's lead single, "What Have You lot Done for Me Lately", peaked at number iv on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and at number one on the Hot Black Singles nautical chart.[36] [b] The single was certified gilt by the RIAA in November 1990.[37] The song was compared favorably to similar recordings of female empowerment released past black women, such as "New Attitude" by Patti LaBelle, "Ameliorate Be Practiced to Me" by Tina Turner, and "Sisters Are Doin' Information technology for Themselves" past Aretha Franklin. Oprah Winfrey commented: "What you're seeing in all the areas of arts and entertainment is black women internalizing the idea of black power and pride ... Black women started listening to their inner cues, rather than society or even the blackness customs'southward idea of what they are supposed to exist and tin can be."[38] "Nasty", the anthology'southward second unmarried, beat "What Take You Done for Me Lately" by 1 position, peaking at number three on the Hot 100 and at number 1 on the Hot Blackness Singles chart.[36] It was certified gold in Nov 1990.[39] Critic Jon Bream noted "the songwriters have slyly juxtaposed a nasty-sounding groove and the repetition of the word 'nasty' with a subtle antinasty message."[40]

"When I Think of You" reached number one on the Hot 100, becoming Jackson'due south beginning single to top the nautical chart, and was certified aureate in November 1990.[36] [41] The album's fourth unmarried and title rail, "Control", reached its acme position at number five on the Hot 100 and at number one on the Hot Blackness Singles chart, later certified gold past the RIAA in Nov 1990.[36] [42] "Allow'south Look Awhile" reached the number two position on the Hot 100 and number 1 on the Hot Black Singles chart.[36] Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune commented in a similar vein to "Nasty", the ballad "throw[southward] common cold water on the passions of young love 'before we go too far'."[43] Different its predecessors, "The Pleasure Principle" did not reach within the top five of the Hot 100, instead peaking at number xiv. It did, yet, become Jackson's fifth number one single on the Hot Black Singles chart.[36] Each of the album's singles excluding "Permit's Look Awhile" peaked inside the top five of the Billboard Club Play Singles.[36] [c] "Funny How Fourth dimension Flies (When Yous're Having Fun)" was non released as a commercial single in the United states.

Upon its release, the anthology garnered general acclaim from critics. Rolling Stone'southward Rob Hoerburger commented that the "sharp-tongued" Janet Jackson is "more concerned with identity than with playlists", as Control declares she is no longer the Jacksons' baby sister.[49] Hoerburger expressed the view that tracks such as "Nasty" and "What Have You Washed for Me Lately" erased the former "pop-ingénue image" of Jackson's first ii albums, and that "Control is a ameliorate album than Diana Ross has fabricated in v years and puts Janet in a position similar to the young Donna Summertime's—unwilling to accept novelty status and taking her own steps to rise above it."[49] Steven Ivory of Billboard expressed "[v]ocally, Jackson is more ambitious than ever. Indeed, her exhibition of sass and funkiness is certainly more provocative" in comparison to her previous work.[l] NME wrote: "Jackson has gone a long way in shaking off the experience of being a shadow Jackson kid. She is an artist in her ain right."[51] Newsweek stated "[i]n an era of big-voiced pop-soul divas ... her current hit album, is taut, funky, hard as nails, an alternative to the sentimental balladry and opulent arrangements of Patti LaBelle and Whitney Houston."[52] In The Village Voice, Robert Christgau "scoffed at Janet'south claims of autonomy", only applauded Jam & Lewis's beats as "their deepest ever" while finding Jackson'south contribution entertaining enough.[53] Los Angeles Times critic Connie Johnson wrote: "Though nonetheless a teen-ager, this vocaliser's stance is remarkably nervy and mature. She has a snotty sort of balls that permeates several cuts, plus the musical muscle to back it up."[54] Jon Pareles of The New York Times notes Control takes obvious influence from Prince, describing "[t]he album's pacing, its clipped vocal lines—even the spoken introduction that starts things off" as pure Minneapolis sound; he adds "[b]ut where the Prince way is usually connected with heavy-breathing come-ons, Miss Jackson is cheerfully standoffish."[55]

For the 29th Almanac Grammy Awards, Control received four nominations: Album of the Twelvemonth, All-time R&B Song for "What Accept Yous Done for Me Lately", All-time Female R&B Vocal Performance and Non-Classical Producer of the Year for Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Jam and Lewis won Producer of the Year.[56] The anthology earned a record-breaking twelve nominations from the American Music Awards, winning four.[57] [58] Jackson also won three Soul Train Music Awards and six Billboard Music Awards.[59] [60] [61]

Afterward reviews continue to find the album favorable. Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine expressed that the misconception that Control is Jackson's debut anthology just confirmed the "quintessential statement on personal and artistic self-actualization" that it set out to accomplish.[27] Henderson claimed critics who judged Jackson harshly for her thin voice "somehow missed the explosive 'gimme a trounce' vocal pyrotechnics she unleashes all over "Nasty" ... Or that they completely dismissed how perfect her tremulous hesitance fits into the abstinence anthem "Let'south Wait Awhile."[27] Notwithstanding, Henderson also commented that the "Jam-Lewis formula wasn't completely infallible" every bit "You Can Exist Mine" and "Funny How Fourth dimension Flies (When Yous're Having Fun)", were two of the album'south least impressive misfires.[27] While William Ruhlmann of AllMusic commented Jackson "came across as an aggressive, independent woman", he asserts the anthology'due south true value is the production talents of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.[62] In The New Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), Laura Sinagra said that on Command, "Jam and Lewis perfected their melodic, full-blown funk attack", while Jackson "filled each track with a breathy believability" with vocal performances that ranged from yearning to seductive.[48] In 2020, Rolling Rock ranked Control number 111 on the reboot of its list of 'The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time'.[63]

Legacy [edit]

Her 1986 album Control is important to the development of R&B for a number of reasons. The primary producers of Command, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Jackson herself, crafted a new sound that fuses the rhythmic elements of funk and disco, along with heavy doses of synthesizers, percussion, sound effects, and a rap music sensibility.

Richard J. Ripani, The New Blueish Music, 2006[79]

Control is widely considered to be the quantum in Jackson's career, establishing her independence and authorization in the realm of pop music.[iv] In The Sex Revolts: Gender, Rebellion, and Stone'northward'coil (1996) author Simon Reynolds wrote that "Janet Jackson became a superstar with the immaculately designed soft-core feminism of Command."[lxxx] Jet magazine commented that although the Jackson family unit'due south musical legacy had given her an opportunity to tap into an international audience, Control was the turning point at which "her career took off and she became a bona fide superstar. Control showcased Janet equally a person who was firmly and finally in command of her own life."[81] Dennis Hunt of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Previously, she had recorded two unsophisticated, kiddie soul albums. If you listened carefully to that child stuff, in that location was a grown-upwardly vocalizer there somewhere struggling to go out. [Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis] liberated the existent Janet Jackson."[82]

Lyrically, Jackson's anthology is said to exhibit a "politically driven feminist" message, every bit stated by Lilly Goren in You've Come A Long Mode, Baby: Women, Politics, and Popular Culture (2009).[83] Musically, according to Rickey Vincent, author of Funk: The Music, The People, and The Rhythm of The One (1996), Jam and Lewis'south collaboration with her is said to be one of the loftier points of the 1980s, as they redefined dance music by mixing a youthful sound with industrial-strength beats.[84] As documented by musicologist Richard J. Ripani, writer of The New Blue Music: Changes in Rhythm & Blues, 1950–1999 (2006), Command is regarded every bit i of the virtually influential albums in the history of rhythm and dejection and the get-go album to span the gap between R&B and rap music. Its success in both the mainstream R&B and pop music charts "led to the incorporation of many of the stylistic traits of rap over the adjacent few years, and Janet Jackson was to continue to be one of the leaders in that development."[79] Furthermore, the album's second unmarried "Nasty" has been credited with influencing the new jack swing genre, pioneered by Teddy Riley.[79] [85] Laura Sinagra in The New Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that the album impacted popular music with a "blockbuster momentum all its own", while Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine noted Control "was as the hit motorcar that her brother'southward Thriller was."[27] [48] Additionally, Command made Billboard Hot 100 history having the longest continuous run on the Hot 100 with singles from one album at 65 consecutive weeks, breaking her brother Michael's record past 1 week; Thriller by comparison charted singles for 64 consecutive weeks.[86] Steve Morse of The Boston Earth commented: "All things considered, 1986 was a stellar year for the blackness female vocaliser—the best, in fact, since the disco era of a decade dorsum ... Black music crossed over to the pop charts in dramatic fashion, with Whitney Houston, Patti LaBelle and Janet Jackson each having No. ane albums."[87]

In addition to stepping out of the Jackson family unit shadow, Control established Jackson as i of the preeminent female artists of popular music, rivaling fellow pop star Madonna, as critics began to acknowledge their influence on the record industry and younger artists. Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the Earth Book viii: Genres: North America (2012) documents that both women redefined house music, repackaging it "as part of a global metropolitan pop aesthetic."[88] With regard to marketing singles, Paul Grein of Billboard reported: "10 or 20 years agone you would have had two singles from an anthology at the about. At present we're in an era where Madonna is on her fifth single from the anthology True Blue and Janet Jackson is on her sixth from the LP Control."[89] Jackson later became the showtime female artist to produce six top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 from a single anthology.[90] Los Angeles Times writer Paul Grein wrote a segment titled "The influence of Madonna and Janet Jackson", reporting Debbie Gibson's manager Doug Breitbart claimed "Madonna has brought back a really strong, melodic component to popular music", while Teen Beat editor Maggie Murphy remarked "Janet Jackson may take started this more than than anyone else."[91] Anthony DeCurtis, writer of Present Tense: Stone & Whorl and Culture (1992) wrote that "Madonna and Janet Jackson take produced videos that explore the female gaze," and described Jackson's music video for "Nasty" as feminist theory on moving-picture show that deconstructs the objectification of women.[92] Laura Sinagra documented that within two years of the release of Control, "a new crop of female singers (such equally Paula Abdul and Karyn White) were charged with imitating Janet."[48] Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone remarked: "Control—with its quintuple-platinum sales and string of striking singles—established" a then-20-yr-old Jackson "as one of the most popular recording artists in the world."[93] The Guardian described the album's release as i of the fifty key events in the history of R&B and hip hop.[94]

Upon the 30th anniversary of the album's release, Julian Kimble of Billboard magazine wrote: "In hindsight, Control is both evolutionary and revolutionary. As Jackson'due south first album to land atop the Billboard 200, it marked professional and personal breakthroughs. Distancing herself from the immense Jackson family shadow, she created one of the most influential projects across contemporary R&B and pop music. And not just was Jackson'due south maiden voyage with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at the forefront of R&B, popular and hip-hop's intersection, it birthed a novel sound in the process."[95] Morgan Y. Evans for PopMatters' wrote: "Janet Jackson'southward Control is worth reconsidering as, perhaps boldly, one of the top three or four pop records of the '80s...It is unquestionably the about coherent and powerful full anthology statement from any female person solo pop artist during much of the '80s, some of Kate Bush's more eccentric triumphs that decade notwithstanding."[96] Kyle Anderson of Amusement Weekly commented: "The videos from Control were all over MTV, and Janet established herself as an instantly dominant pop effigy talked nearly in the same sentences every bit Madonna and her older brother Michael."[97] MTV's Meaghan Garvey asserted "it's hard to overstate the significance of Control, whether in terms of the pop landscape, the evolution of the music video as a vessel for promotion and expression, or Peak twoscore feminist anthems." She also argued "it'due south important to note that Command's self-actualization anthems were expressions of blackness female pride. Control spawned a whopping half dozen videos—great ones, at that—which played an immeasurable function in the shift toward visible black pop."[98] Gerrick D. Kennedy of Los Angeles Times wrote that Jackson's continued influence is evident in the careers of Rihanna, Beyoncé, Ciara, FKA Twigs and Tinashe in that "all of them take cues from Jackson's blueprint. And all that began with Control."[99] In 2016, a cassette of Control was added to the "Musical Crossroads" exhibition of the National Museum of African American History and Civilization (NMAAHC).[100]
