- Such is the level of Janet Jackson's iconic status that she often seems more like a legend than a mere person, and each album seems more like an event than just another batch of songs. While Jackson's star quality is very much a factor on ALL FOR YOU, the album is an extremely individualistic effort. For one thing, the disc leads off not with a resounding pop hook, but with a lengthy snatch of incongruous conversation. Shortly thereafter, we're launched into "You Ain't Right," a vibrant track that's more about groove than pop. Instead of chasing after the kind of pop-R&B crossover that made Janet disciples like Britney and Christina so successful, this cut pursues a more idiosyncratic, almost Prince-like feel.
- That's not to say there's no pop appeal on ALL FOR YOU. From the sensual ballad "When We Oooo" to the club-friendly, infectious "Come On Get Up," there's radio fodder aplenty here. But Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis's production refuses to settle for generic R&B cliches. Instead, the pair employ a variety of interesting percussion textures and keyboard tones to keep the arrangements sounding fresh and unique. Of course the thing holding it all together is Jackson's powerful-but-winsome delivery, simultaneously enticing and casual. That combination is the key to ALL FOR YOU's success.
