Janet.

With the release of Janet in 1993, Janet Jackson found her sexy side and declared her independence. Overseeing every track on one of the world’s best-selling albums, she delivered a stunning infusion of hip-hop and R&B beats alongside understated vocals. The collection oozes with sex-fuelled gems like ballad “Any Time, Any Place” and the provocative “You Want This”. And the hip-hop-tinged whisper “That’s the Way Love Goes” is one of the best pop-soul songs of the '90s.
