JANET JACKSON’s “JANET.” celebrates its 20th anniversary today, May 18. Her groundbreaking fifth album has sold over 7 million copies and spawned six Hot 100 singles. The album was a sexual awakening for both JACKSON and American culture. Hits like “That’s The Way Love Goes” and “Any Time, Any Place” were some of the most sexually frank to reach the upper reaches of the charts at the time. Though she’s kept a low profile since 2011, when she released her self-help memoir “True You” and toured behind her “Number Ones” greatest hits set, JANET JACKSON spoke with Billboard for an exclusive Q&A where she revisits the making of “JANET.,” discusses its current influence and teases her next album (“I am working on a new project now”). May 18 marks the 20th anniversary of “JANET.” How would you describe what that album captures about your life at that time? I can’t believe it is already 20 years! I always write my music based on what is going on in my life at the time. I wanted to allow people in… I want my fans to really know me. The ‘JANET’ album was sexual and I was beginning to really discover that side of me. Although you worked primarily with Jimmy and Terry again on “JANET.,” you explore a lot of different genres on that album – from dance to soul to rock to opera on “This Time.” Did you have to fight to keep some of the bolder songs on there – was anyone telling you this wasn’t “pop” enough?

Billboard caught up with the singer to talk about the 20th anniversary of her groundbreaking album ‘JANET.’, who’s legacy is captured through it’s choreography, bold sexuality, and influential videos, and she spoke on her influence on some modern day records as well as working on a brand new album. There are musical references and direct samples of JANET. songs all over the place now, most notably on Kendrick Lamar’s “Poetic Justice.” Have you heard most of these re-interpretations (Moon Boots’ “Sugar,” which samples “If,” How To Dress Well’s cover of “Again,” MNEK’s “That’s The Way Love Goes” etc?)

Well, if you had any doubt that the record has left a permanent mark on the music industry then ask Luke James, who performed a cover of "I Get Lonely" during his A64 sessions on SB. TV. The sultry "I Get Lonely" was a global success for JACKSON and it peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in a time when bigger-voiced divas, such as Celine Dion and Mariah Carey, dominated the charts. Unfortunately, James tried to put his own spin on the song and what resulted as an awkward bout of oversinging. As JACKSON proved throughout her career, sometimes less is more and James needs to read that page of her memo. Watch him perform "I Get Lonely" in a medley with "I Want You" on SB.
