SO EXCITED - JANET
The sophomore single from Janet’s “20 Y.O.” is about as intriguing and eventful as the previous “Call On Me” — and that means disaster. Opening with a promising rip from Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit,” the track soon disintegrates into a breathy, nonmelodic jam that is ultimately hijacked by rapper Khia. Janet has so much on the line — still living in the land of the unforgiving for the absurdly overhyped Super Bowl incident — and needs to give it everything she has. “So Excited” is bland, lacks innovation and sniffs of impending doom for her album. Is this the best she’s got? Sorely disappointing. Billboard
