The record, at 22 tracks long (lots of interludes), addresses a wide range of related issues: relationships, domestic violence, self worth, etc. It also deals explicitly with sexuality, as expressed through the likes of \"My Need\" and \"Free Xone.\" Musically imaginative, the LP lays out a coherent, forward vision that takes from disco, funk, soul, and various electronic genres, and Janet's darker, wistful approach to pop, as showcased in the smash single \"Together Again\" and more, is a blueprint for alternative r\u0026amp;b that would follow course. In addition to the aforementioned, check out \"Empty,\" which could easily have come out in the last few years, \"I Get Lonely,\" \"Go Deep,\" and \"Tonight's the Night.\" Oh, love the interludes, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehoused in gatefold jacket w\/ printed inner sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Virgin 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by singing in japanese 08\/19\u003c\/h6\u003e ","brand":"Janet Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":17667129081946,"sku":"fr-4134","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/janetjackson-thevelvetrope.jpg?v=1762277237","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/janet-jackson-the-velvet-rope-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
