- The_Velvet_Rope abstract "The Velvet Rope is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Janet Jackson. It was released on October 7, 1997 by Virgin Records. Following the release of Design of a Decade, Jackson became subject to a high-profile bidding war amongst parties including Sony Music, The Walt Disney Company, and Time Warner. Jackson renewed her contract with Virgin for $80 million, making her the world's highest paid musical act for the second time in her career. She unveiled a new image, flaunting vibrant red hair, multiple tattoos, and acquiring facial and body piercings. Jackson also abandoned her surname, releasing material solely under her first name.Upon experiencing an emotional breakdown, Jackson began facing a long-term case of depression, struggling with body dysmorphia, anorexia, self-hatred, and physical abuse. She developed the record as a concept album, using introspection as its theme. Its title is an allusion to an individual's need to feel special, as well as a metaphor for emotional boundaries, in comparison to rope lines which prohibit access from spectators. Its composition addresses the politics and restraints of depression, self-worth, social networking, and domestic violence. It also encompasses themes of sadomasochism and same-sex relationships, exploring alternate sexuality and sexual questioning. It incorporates various genres with pop, including trip hop, folk, jazz, and electronic music. The album was produced by Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. British violinist Vanessa-Mae, singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, and rapper Q-Tip also contributed to the project.The Velvet Rope became Jackson's fourth consecutive album to top the Billboard 200. Internationally, it peaked within the top five of the majority of its chart entries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and Switzerland. The album was certified triple platinum, with worldwide sales exceeding ten million. Six singles were released from the project, with "Together Again" being among the biggest selling global singles in history, selling over six million copies, and "I Get Lonely" becoming her eighteenth consecutive top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The single received a Grammy Award nomination, while "Got 'til It's Gone" won the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. The homosexual lyrics and sexual content caused its ban in Singapore. Jackson also embarked on The Velvet Rope Tour, receiving praise for its theatricality. Often referred to as her greatest work, The Velvet Rope has been subject to acclaim for its artistry, emotional vulnerability, and sonic innovation. It is included among Rolling Stone 's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" and received a GLAAD Award for Outstanding Music. The album has been regarded as a template within pop artists transitioning to a darker or rebellious sound. It has also been considered to predict several trends within contemporary indie pop and a precursor to the PBR&B subgenre. It has been critically cited to influence artists such as Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Disclosure. Indie and folk musicians including How to Dress Well, Melissa Ferrick, and Wheat have also called it a primary influence.".
