Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson is the singer's 1982 debut studio album that blends disco, funk, contemporary R&B and pop into early 1980s dance-pop and R&B arrangements. The sound emphasizes synth-driven grooves, danceable rhythms and a youthful vocal approach consistent with its era, and it functions as an introductory statement that predates her later, more self-directed work with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
