Janet Jackson: All For You (2001)
Jackson worked on her next album, her fourth with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. In search of a new sound she added hip-hop producer Rockwilder as part of her new production team, excluding now former husband Rene Elizondo.
In 2001,
All For You, was released. The album was much more upbeat than The Velvet Rope with songs dealing about romance, sex and the single life.
The album sold over 600,000 copies her first week, an improvement on previous performances, and the highest 1st week of sales for one of her albums. The title track became Janet's second biggest hit to date, reaching #1 for 7 weeks. The second single
Someone To Call My Lover hit the Top 5 of the Pop charts.
A sell-out tour had it's European leg of the concert was cancelled in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks; extra dates were added around the USA, and the Japanese leg continued, causing some to think that low tickets ales in Europe rather than the risk of flying caused the European cancellation.
Jackson returned to the studio to feature on former *N Sync singer
Justin Timberlake's song
(And She Said) Take Me Now, and Beenie Man's "Feel It Boy". However controversy was caused when Jackson's fans protested her collaboration with Beenie Man whose album's lyrics very blatantly promoted the violent attack on and killing of homosexuals.
During this period, Jackson was romantically linked to seemingly everyone from longtime friend, R&B singer and New Edition member Johnny Gill, rapper Q-Tip, actor
Matthew McConaughey and Timberlake. Eventually, the rumors were squashed when it was confirmed Jackson's new man was hip-hop record producer and music mogul Jermaine Dupri.

LiteratureArts, Inc: how the DMCA, Clear Channel and copyright extension are killing culture
William James Ivey sez, My new book, Arts, Inc.: How Greed and Neglect Have Destroyed Our Cultural Rights, is just out (May 10). The idea for Arts, Inc. hit me when I was chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, during Bill Clinton?s administration. I became convinced that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, copyright extension, and Clear-Channel-style media consolidation were undermining our basic rights to an arts system that really serves the public. Things have only gotten worse. Congress and the FCC might think it?s important to institute hefty fines when Janet Jackson?s breast pops out during a Super Bowl telecast, but it?s shrinking Fair Use, globalized record companies and film studios ? they serve shareholders, not art -- left-behind citizens who lack quality Internet access, and Viacom against Google and Microsoft stalking Yahoo that are the real threats to the vibrant cultural scene that?s essential in our democracy. Arts, Inc. is on sale now. Look for interviews and reviews; I?ll be making the case around the country ? at a performing arts conference in Denver next week, and at the Center for American Progress in DC in mid-July. Link...
