“At 13 years old, if a Janet Jackson video came on the TV, my mouth dropped open. I kept repeating in my head, ‘No, No … Please come back, I wanna see that again … Where the hell did that come from ???’ It was her ability to be incredibly mysterious, so dark with a vibe that sucked you in immediately, and then this haunting, simple, angelic tone.”
