Janet Jackson - Black Cat

Review by Ameer Aftab

Black Cat, the iconic album by Janet Jackson, is a masterpiece of its time. Released in 1989, the album marked a significant shift in Janet's career, as she embraced a new sound that was heavily influenced by rock and funk music. The album features ten tracks, each of which showcases Janet's incredible vocal range, as well as her ability to experiment with different genres of music.

The album's lead single, "Black Cat," is a hard-hitting rock anthem that showcases Janet's edgier side. The track has a heavy guitar riff, with Janet's powerful vocals adding to the intensity of the song. "The Pleasure Principle" is another standout track on the album, with its catchy hook and infectious beat. The song's music video, which features Janet dancing in an empty warehouse, has become a classic in its own right.

Other notable tracks on the album include "Love Song," a duet with Prince, and "State of the World," a socially conscious track that addresses issues such as poverty and homelessness. The album's closing track, "Lonely," is a haunting ballad that showcases Janet's vulnerable side.

That rhythm guitar sounds so killer! Imagine such a kind of guitar in a song of a "pop artist" today!

tecnicosbarranca

So not the full video version. Its missing the beginning with just the bass drum as they say..."Black-Cat." That would be the video version.

maraburns

I believe Nuno should be automatically recognized as official living guitar God since Eddie has left us.

asfproje

interview with Nuno says he did the whole song : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbLz9XClOZc

How come this extended guitar solo did not make the final cut on the album?

Janet Jackson Black Cat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the lonely nights, I spend alone
Never around to love me, you're always gone
Cause you're hanging out, breaking the rules
Oh, the man has come looking for you
You're a rebel now, don't give a damn
Always carrying on with the gang
I'm trying to tell you, boy, it's a mistake
You won't realize 'til it's too late

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't understand why you insist
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Time after time, you stay away
And I just know that you're telling me lies

[Chorus]
Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights
Living on the edge, not afraid to die
Heartbeat, real strong but not for long
Better watch your step or you're gonna die

[Verse 2]
You're so together, boy but just at a glance
You'll do anything if given a chance
Scheming, planning lies to get what you need
So full of promises that you never keep
Don't you tell yourself that it's okay
Sick and tired of all of your games
And you want me to stay, ah, better change
Makes no sense to me, your crazy ways
[Pre-Chrous]
Don't understand why you insist
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Time after time, you stay away
And I just know that you're telling me lies

[Bridge]
Not afraid to die
Black cat, black cat
Man, I don't understand your ways
Living on the edge

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't understand why you insist
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Time after time, you stay away
And I just know that you're telling me lies

[Chorus]
Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights
Living on the edge, not afraid to die
Heartbeat, real strong but not for long
Better watch your step or you're gonna die
Black cat, nine lives, short days, long nights
Living on the edge, not afraid to die
Heartbeat, real strong but not for long
Better watch your step or you're gonna die

What a rockin tune ,,,funky base line ,,screamin solos,,what's not to like...

misswings2013

I added this song from Janet Jackson into some playlists that I made on Spotify which are separately called, "Friday the 13th songs" and "Friday the 13th melodies." Do you think that a witch possessed her to write a song about black cats? ?

I was in the violent crimes unit of a very tough city U.S.A. in the 90's This was one of the songs we'd play when we were going after one of the really bad guys.

shreejienterpriseorgin

♥️♥️♥️ love her so much, I am 62 years old & hard to believe that 34 years has gone by since she released this song, wow life’s been a trip that 34 years ago I was jamming & still jamming to it
