Mar 30, 2024 | the97.net | Vincent Anthony

On March 30, 2004, Janet Jackson released “Damita Jo,” her eighth studio album. Plagued by backlash and blacklisting following her infamous Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction, one of Ms. Jackson’s best albums was overlooked and remains severely underrated. Featuring gems like the soulful lead single “I Want You” and dance floor banger “All Nite,” the album is beloved by her devoted fanbase, the #JanFam. “Damita Jo” showcased Jackson’s resilience as an artist.
Review: On "eternal sunshine," Ariana Grande proves herself

Upon the release of the lead single “yes, and?,” I wrote that Ariana Grande was selling herself short by successfully emulating her inspirations but failing to fuse them to form a distinct artistic identity of her own.

Nov 18, 2023 | the97.net | Vincent Anthony

There comes a time in every iconic music superstar’s career when they must accept they have transitioned from icon to legend. Some do so obnoxiously, others are a little more graceful about it. With the release of her fifteenth studio album “Caution” in November 2018, Mariah Carey humbly embraced her legendary status. Music critics finally did, too, lauding the album and rendering it the most critically acclaimed of her career. It won’t make up for the 1996 GRAMMYs snub, but it’s something.
