Hello Fellow Carp Pets!
Just a quick note to let you know that Janet Jackson samples "(They Long To Be) Close To You" on her new single "I Want You". Taken from her upcoming album Damita Jo, the track is produced by Kayne West and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. The sample is deeply embedded within a delicious slice of old school soul that's already making upward gains at Urban and Urban AC radio. A music video had already been shot and should be serviced to outlets later on this month.
As some might already know, Janet Jackson began her recording career at A&M Records in the mid 80's. Not only did she release two groundbreaking efforts (Control and Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814) but she also collaborated with Herb Alpert on his 1987 hits "Diamonds".
Keep an eye out for the track and try to spot the "Close To You" sample.
Amit (...whose wondering if Janet's new album will contain anymore old school goodies...online....)
np: "Butterflies", Michael Jackson
