Delete 258 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Eh, it's pretty good, but is it LEAD SINGLE material? Not really.Actually the most strategic thing you can do as an artist is release a good "but weaker" lead single, and then HIT THEM HARD for the second. People get just enough interest to finally be hooked on the second single. Take "Shake it off" which is meh and "Blank Space" or "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet 1,417 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 This song is just beautiful! The production, her breathy vocals, the bridge... Superb! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatislaps 34,851 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This song has been on repeat today, it's totally soothing and calming me I love the fact Janet isn't following the trend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"that's the way love goes" says hi... I have high hopes that the album will have a couple more upbeat singles. I myself was dissapointed that the lead single wouldn't be a dance song but No Sleeep was very much a pleasant surprise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Girl 134 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm surprised she made this the lead, only because typically the leads are fast paced and dancey, but I still dig it! I'm extremely happy she's making a new album! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 109,630 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This isn't the first slow jam that she made as first single through her career. If y'all a fan, you already knew this and keep the faith in her. Please don't turn Janet into your another boring EDM try hards. Not every artists have to go that way to be well liked. This is a breathe of fresh air. Enjoy it than b---h about it. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ dancin' until i'm dead (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disregard 50 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This sounds more like the Janet that people really connected to, rather than the one who served a cute bop like Feedback, which the kids remember, but really didn't amount to much in the end. She gave us music that was part of the soundtrack to our lives with every album from 1986 and 2001. I'm looking forward to hearing more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikola 4,342 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 omg love this song so much........also she sounds so much like michael and makes me sad that he is not longer with us I've got an "F" and a "C" and I got a "K" too And the only thing that is missing is a bitch like "U" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Please don't turn Janet into your another boring EDM try hards.Not every artists have to go that way to be well liked.This is a breathe of fresh air. But slow R&B was a dominant trend and thus "generic" much longer than EDM pop, at least in the States. Mariah and Beyonce pretty much refused to move on from it already.With Gaga doing jazz and Rihanna's R8 singles, it's pretty obvious the EDM trend is over, yet oddly people talk as if anyone doing a slow song is so brave and non-commercial.
