Janet Jackson: Rhythm Nation 1815 1989 LP

Michael Jacksonin albumien ohella yksi J-klaanin mestariteoksista.

Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (also simply known as Rhythm Nation 1814 or Rhythm Nation) is the fourth studio album by American singer Janet Jackson, first released on September 18, 1989 in the United Kingdom, then one day later in North America by A&M Records. Although label executives wanted material resembling her previous album, Control (1986), Jackson insisted on creating a concept album addressing social issues. Collaborating with songwriters and record producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, she drew inspiration from various tragedies reported through news media, exploring racism, poverty, and substance abuse, alongside themes of romance. Although its central concept of a sociopolitical utopia received mixed reactions, its composition was critically acclaimed. Jackson became considered a role model for youth because of her socially conscious lyrics.
