Control

by Janet Jackson

Control cover art

Produced alongside Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, 'Control' fundamentally revolutionized modern R&B by aggressively integrating the hard-hitting, synthesized rhythms of the Minneapolis Sound. Janet Jackson asserts a fierce, triumphant independence over dense, metallic drum beats and incredibly sharp funk grooves. The album is a rhythmic, rebellious blockbuster that laid the absolute foundation for the new jack swing movement.
