This “love” ode, a dedication from Janet to fans and friends, sounds like it’s going to be another banger until the chorus comes in and ruins everything. It’s not awful, but it sounds like it belongs on another song. The contrast is jarring enough to make what the title suggests should be something special a bit of a mess.
Michael Jackson made the same mistake on his last album, which also begins with a song entitled Unbreakable. Both are disappointments from artists capable of so much better, but Janet’s has better music. In a battle of the beats, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, or either one, beats Rodney Jerkins just about every time.
