Unbreakable

The Janet Jackson we first fell in love with—sweet, sincere, passionate—is back in force on Unbreakable. Reuniting with her Rhythm Nation producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Jackson trades in the overt sexuality of her last few albums for warmly uplifting pop and nostalgia-flavored R&B. Hypnotic first single “No Sleeep” is a classic Jackson slow-jam, while the Missy Elliott-featuring “BURNITUP!” proves these two icons can still tear up the dance floor. From confessional ballads like “After You Fall” to the house-tinged banger “Night,” Unbreakable is Jackson at her most personal and inspiring.
