Official Video: Janet Jackson - Make Me

With the release of Janet's 2nd greatest hits compilation, Number Ones (a.k.a. The Best) comes a new single that sounds like a mash-up of her #1 hit All For You and her brother's 1979 hit Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough. Although Janet has denied the song was made as a tribute to the song or her late brother Michael. The video was critically acclaimed for it's black and white theme transcending Janet back to her glory old days when she was one of the artists to popularise B&W videos (Rhythm Nation, Miss You Much, Control, etc.) Comparisons to newer generations has been drawn, most of it was with Beyoncé's Single Ladies. 

I happen to like the music video as it gives that Hype Williams feel with a whole lot of Janet-bopping beats and grooves. The video was directed by Robert Hales. 

Make Me peaked on the Billboard Dance chart giving Ms. J a total of 19 #1 Billboard Dance hits under her Hermés belt.



Hope you enjoyed the video and feel free to share your thoughts--
