Remembering The Velvet Rope

[Thomas P 18,417]

This seminal piece of 90s music is a touch stone in popular music history, only seeing the fruits of its labour decades after its release.

Janet’s opus touched on themes that were controversial, but it pushed these discussions into the mainstream in very significant ways. 
 

As someone who was born in 2001, I was unfortunately not able to enjoy this album’s impact in real time, so share your memories of this touch stone in modern art.

I love this album, very raw, sexual and depressing at times ❤️

I Get Lonely 

Together Again

Go Deep

Every Time 

Rope Burn

Anything 

full of bops

I turned 10 in November of that year. I didn’t listen to the album until I was older. But, I definitely got excited and made everyone be quiet when Together Again came on the radio! I also remember hearing Go Deep on the radio, and did not know it was her at the time.
 

So the impact of the album is something I didn’t really get to appreciate until more recently. I got much more into Janet’s music within the last decade. But I do have those memories from the time

I only discovered this album this year and I'm so glad I did. What an amazing artist
