Music Video Review | Janet Jackson - No Sleeep (Remix) (feat. J. Cole)

Janet Jackson

Rhythm Nation / BMG
Release date: July 24, 2015 (Single / Music Video)

 Relax your way into the after hours session with this sexy video of Janet Jackson’s new single, ‘No Sleeep’.

This minimal visual, directed by Dave Meyers, takes place in a dimly lit house where Janet curls and play coy with the camera, telling her lover to come and get her. 

 Given the oh-so-erotic nature of the single, the video is pretty tame. But, to be honest, I’m okay with it. At 49, there’s no need for Janet to be sexed-up again, she can do it all with her music.

 Anyway, I really don’t like the addition of J. Cole in this video. He seems out of place and it is just not as sexy as the original track. Sorry not sorry.

 This version will be in Janet’s upcoming LP, due in late September on Rhythm Nation and BMG. Aaaanndddddd her comeback series, the Unbreakable World Tour, begins August 31 in VA, Canada. 

 Let's hope she'll bring it to Malaysia.

 Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
