Popular Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae has said that Janet Jackson is more deserving of the title “King of Pop” than her late brother, Michael Jackson. She recently had her say while discussing the impact of Janet Jackson’s 1997 album “The Velvet Rope” with Pitchfork.
Describing every Janet Jackson album as fantastic, Amaarae referred to “The Velvet Rope” as the best, stressing that its vulnerability, sexuality, aggression and experimentation made it stand out.
The musician added that “King of Pop” sentiment is not meant to disrespect the late MJ in any way.
Her words, “Every Janet Jackson’s album is fantastic. But ‘The Velvet Rope’ is the best. If I was conscious in 1997 when the album dropped, I would have played it nonstop. It’s so vulnerable, sexy, aggressive and experimental.
Janet, to me, is the real king of pop. No shade to Michael Jackson.”
WOW.
