Janet Jackson debuted this collaboration with the not-oft seen or heard Missy Elliott during one of her live shows recently, however the live footage was quickly taken down so many of us didn't get to preview it. Just in time for your weekend (which may or may not include dancing), Janet comes through with the official release of the song, and it's a heavy dose of soul, funk and the Jackson sound-- but Missy kicks it off with a few onomatopoeic bars, as if she'd never left. As the song progresses, it becomes more and more of a dance anthem, with Jackson's soft vocals layered on top of each other, while Missy acts as hypeman.
Janet Jackson's new album, Unbreakable, is dropping on October 2nd and can be pre-ordered on iTunes now.
Quotable Lyrics
Whooo, I'ma shut this down
Kitty kat, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
Hit it with the he, to the he to the how
Miss Jackson, oh she wear the crown
Brand new sound, got a brand new style
Coming with the banger like Boom Boom Pow
Wow, ooh, ooh, ooh, child
Janet Jackson come soon to your town
- Missy
