Janet Jackson new single ‘I Want You’ is a nostalgic
trip back to the soulful Motown Jackson era. A love song
full of sweet melody, nice backing vocals and laid back groove.
It makes a change from the upbeat tempo and modern r’n’b
progression we’re used to with Janet these days. The
lyrics are simple. She just wants her man and she’s
telling it straight.
The track builds up towards the end. There’s nice strings
to give the
song feeling, a cool groove from
the bass, backed by the drums and there’s even a
triangle thrown in there for good measure. A blast from
the past, with sweet serenity for those candlelit moments.
