Janet Jackson is set to open the American Music Awards this Sunday night in . This will be her second live performance since the untimely death of her brother Michael, and she is sure to pay tribute to the late King of Pop.
Janet’s new single is something of a tribute to MJ as well. The high-energy Make Me takes it’s cues from Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough and is being called Janet’s single since 2001’s All For You.
REVIEW OF REVIEWS
Janet Jackson gave her late brother, Michael, two gifts in September. First, the singer paid tribute by performing their “Scream” duet at the MTV Video Music Awards; then she premiered the “Off the Wall”-inspired dance track “Make Me,” now a single on her “Number Ones” album due November 17. Her most appealing and high-energy track since the 2001 “All for You,” the song thumps aggressively, with a funky guitar lick driving the rhythm. Its nonstop vamp recalls “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough,” as Jackson puts a new twist on that classic disco number’s chorus. “Don’t stop it baby, don’t stop til you get it up … Ain’t nobody else like you/Only you got the moves you do.” “Make Me” isn’t just Jackson’s best dance song in years — it’s a hit that would make her brother proud.
Leading a collection of hits, titled “Number Ones,” “Make Me” was released in September, shortly after an appearance and tribute to late brother and fellow entertainer, Michael Jackson.
Even with Michael’s death and the filming of the Tyler Perry helmed sequel to ‘Why Did I Get Married?’, titled “Why Did I Get Married Too?,” Jerkins says Jackson’s new music will be high energy.
“Just real high energy for Janet, some soul…it’s a real tight project.”
