SloLove Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Damita Jo "Damita Jo," Janet's eigth studio album took it's title from her middle name and revealed several sides of Janet's personality. Commenting about the album, Janet said, "It's about love...Damita Jo is one of the characters that lives inside of me." Like her music from before, "Damita Jo" allowed fans to step inside Janet's life-long pursuit toward self understanding, awareness, and fulfillment.

Paul Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 This album was a step up from AFY in terms of flow and continued quality. But aside from all nite I didn't see the highs that AFY had, but it didn't have the lows either. It's really a shame that it came off the back of the super bowl. I'd love to have seen what the album would have done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloLove Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 i was in iraq when this album came out so i was a little behind on it...always wondered why r&b junkie and my baby were never singles...had big visions in my head for those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovemesumJJ Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The Damita Jo album...Well I really didnt get into this album at first. I had Moist and Thinkin Bout my Ex and that was it. I gravitated towards those first but she does have hidden gems. Island Life and SloLove are my favorites. My Baby is my least favorite. Damita Jo the song is pretty good.

hotboy06 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Damita Jo is underrated. Besides a slow middle section of the album, it picks up again with "Slolove". "Island Life" was my jam. LYDLM is EPIC. It's more urban than AFY but it was a solid album. ANDS still shits and remains one of her best dance songs. And her oooooooooo's on "I Want You" are tailored for heaven's choir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are few bad tracks on this album, but Damita Jo isnt one of those you have on repeat imo, It gets rather dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bu. Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 One of my favourite albums tbh. Her last solid album! It should have been bigger than it was tbh. R&B Junkie should have been a single!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 My Baby is so underrated. Kanye verse is SHIT but the rest of the song >>>> much better than I Want You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I think the album thematically was kinda spread out from the euro-pop elements of ANDS to the urban I Want You, there isn't a Janet album without hidden gems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only slolove has euro-pop elements on DJ (you can say JALW as well, i wouldnt agree but i'd understand), ANDS is just an urban pop dance track, i don't see where the Euro pop elements are on that song tbh. It's like Kelis' Trick Me We all know why this album semi-flopped It doesn't have much to do with the music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaLpHieReBeL516 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 i love this album so many single choices: island life, truly, slolove, like you don't love me this is a perfect album to blast during the summer it has that beachy undertone to it and those heavenly vocals, i loved sexhibition to i could see her and the dancers killing the choreo i wish she wouldve toured with this album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovemesumJJ Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 This album is so great. Why am I just really realizing it? I am going off to Island Life as I type. That shoulda been a singles choice. Moist SloLove I Want You Damita Jo Thinkin Bout My Ex Truly All Nite CHILE ALL BANGERS. I JUST....The singles choices were all over the place tho. I can see All Nite Just Slay but she needed to release Moist. I dont care...Multiple children would have been conceived. But lets be real....With the Superbowl and her Iconic titty incident people were gonna try and pay her dust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUROPOP Oh dear... so going by that logic if someone does something with say Ne-Yo they are automatically doing R&B even if they are serving the purest electronic beats? A+ for effort i guess This album is so great. Why am I just really realizing it? I am going off to Island Life as I type. That shoulda been a singles choice.

Yes at Island Life, THAT track is AMAZING and it was right of the bat my fav from the album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
