"DAMMN BABY" ALONE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The fact that the song has an I GET LONELY sample is slaying me.

"NIGHT" is very 70s yet modern! Just sounds like it's for the KIDS

and the rest just sounds amazing!

This is what makes me think the album is legit strictly for the fans. Everyone was pointing out all of her "easter eggs" (Let's Dance interlude in BURNITUP and Anything sampled in Unbreakable's intro) earlier, and I'm so excited to see more! However, this screams final send off. I'm not saying she's going to die soon by any means, but it makes me sad knowing she's one year away from Michael's death.

ETA: That sounds super dramatic, haha. I just was thinking about Michael earlier. I know Jan is in good health!

This has literally been the most mentally, emotionally, and physically draining album wait of all time for me. It doesn't help that my classes have me stressed af this week, but all I want is to relax and listen to this album a few days early. Is that really too much to ask for someone who is paying for 4 copies and concert tickets?

I feel your pain sis. I've been anticipating R8 since 2013.

"Black Eagle" is just beautiful! That's the Janet I missed.

"Take Me Away" is just beautiful pop music

"The Great Forever" is just what I needed! So beautiful and sounds like freedom.

What? Has this leaked?

[Nippy'sReceipts]

Is the album more uptempo or quiet storm? From the titles, it sounds like it is more low-key

No, but someone who has it has posted snippets on IG.

Unless essence has it, but is only talking about songs that have snippets online...

I think this will be her last album period. The titles and the snippets just seem that way. Like a farewell.

When it comes to Janet, I ain't got to prove a damn thing! I'm on my SECOND listen and I got my Mom's rum punch and I'm living!!! Stephen came over to my house and listened to it with me, ask him!! :P

[jayyyxtee]

I feel like such a bad fan I haven't been paying attention at all this era

[ALΞX]

Take Me Away clip gives me chills. I haven't felt that way about a track since TVR/AFY eras
