Janet Jackson "Control" Album with Guest Jimmy Jam | One Song Podcast - Full Episode Pt. 1

SUBSCRIBE ▶︎ / @onesongpodcast
Legendary producer Jimmy Jam joins Diallo Riddle and LUXXURY to break down the making of Janet Jackson’s classic album, “Control”. Jimmy takes us inside the studio and breaks down the process of getting to know Ms. Jackson (if you’re nasty) and creating a sound and attitude that worked for her. This is the first of a two-part special with Jimmy Jam.
New here? On each episode of this music podcast friends Diallo Riddle (Emmy-nominated star and creator of HBO Max’s South Side and IFC’s Sherman’s Showcase) and Blake ""LUXXURY"" Robin (Music Producer & TikTok creator) will hilariously break down ONE SONG from the pop music canon that you know - or need to know - but have never heard quite like this.

I love seeing Jimmy on the media run in support of Janet lately! Such a gentleman and passionate mentor. Chivalry is not gone, folks.

[@alvinfowlkes9383]

This is a GREAT INTERVIEW.

[@SonofBaldwin]

This was a great, informative interview. A bit of feedback: The host shouldn’t ask a question and then interrupt the guest while he’s trying to answer the question posed.

[@elijahselbicky3639]

A cardinal sin in any interview. Let them talk. Take notes and ask to elaborate later!

[@SunyattaAmen]

I respectfully disagree. The casual conversational nature is what makes this show clap. 👏 A stoic NPR interview this is not. As a musician and SUPER music NERD, I am grateful.

[@beoverwait]

Thank you! I said this for their other interview. Just kept interrupting

[@Victor-yi6qq]

I cringed when they both interrupted around the 44 minute mark

[@AXEL-jt2cd]

I think he was just extremely thrilled to be talking to Jimmy Jam and had so much to ask him but yes he should’ve took a seat for a moment.

[@Jay_Dickenson]

I love hearing stories from Jimmy. Any discussion about or around Janet and I’m all ears.

[@edgonzalez6200]

No lie i got a tear in my eye having WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY broken down like that ESPECIALLY the part with the funky bass sound. And isolated Janet & JIMMY vocals. 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 This was so freakin' cool! Loved the in-depth breakdown & bts look into a GROUNDBREAKING ALBUM. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@1INZayne]

them fan boying is the most relatable thing

[@KillaGandhi]

This channel is still in its infancy stage, and they're killing it. It's about to go crazy tho!

[@serenityelaine2007]

Great interview!!! Could listen to Jimmys stories all day!

[@natydrdgurl]

Awesome episode

[@randychampion184]

AAs someone for whom the Control album was THE album of 1986 for me, and is still far and away my favourite album by ANY artist for me (I'm more a singles guy anyway), I love this interview: all the BTS stuff and hearing the breakdowns. It's truly fascinating and educational. Only thing would have made this better would have been to hear Jimmy's approach to remixing the tracks from the album for the clubs!

[@jerryjaguar3239]

can yall please talk to jimmy about the unbreakable. It is the one number one album that janet had that isn't talked about enough. It's my favourite Janet album as a Gen-Z person

[@SonofBaldwin]

Seconded.

[@IrnBruNYC]

The only Ensoniq preset I can find that might fit Jimmy Jam’s description of the Nasty sounds is the disk with “Tympello” on the left side of the keyboard and “Wooden Flutes” on the right.

[@poindextertunes]

Nasty is by far the best song on that album. Its got a je ne sais quoi that has aged very well

[@SonofBaldwin]

I love "Nasty" but "Control" is my favorite by far.

[@risingphoenix7371]

You can be mine is dynamite

[@peakdelvalle197]

That Joni anecdote warmed my heart ❤ I love her

[@yamlumolla]

Hello Creative people, you guys are killing it on this podcast. I love how you go deep in to the songs & the Artists. well done!!! but one thing though , can you please stop using commercial breaks like a tv program because its really get in the way of the podcast. whenever the breaks comes, make me wanna change the video & move on to another podcast. Regards, ☕

[@robcinq5956]

Essential interview

[@mattrixx_audio]

I love this.. JJ and TL are the sounds of my teens and dreams!! Love hearing this!!

[@ZgraceLee]

Positive note tho, i did sub this channel right away afta comin across a short of you both breakin down songs. Instantly caught my attn.

[@avace917]

This is amazing. Nasty is my favorite from this. The Cool Summer Remix is beautiful. I loved hearing it on the radio

[@verdean11]

I always wonder if they know Prince used to cover What Have You Done For Me Lately during the Nude Tour

[@Chewzy_CEO]

“I love taking it slow like this “… then let’s wait awhile! 😂

[@chrismorale_]

Cherrelle ran so that Janet could fly

[@FIMPerformance]

I wish the interviewers wouldn’t keep interrupting Jimmy as he is telling a story. It RUINS the flow of the conversation

[@chrismorale_]

Jimmy Jam

[@rebeccaw6253]

Janet is a goddess. Great interview. Happy to learn the Depeche Mode tid bit

[@TrayLaw]

actually, die hards love he doesnt know im alive

[@kedavis]

I've always loved that song!!

[@SonofBaldwin]

Great vocal performance by Janet on that one.

[@risingphoenix7371]

And "You can be mine"

[@avace917]

I have to listen again. I remember her sounding good on it but not loving it. Liking but not loving. I was all about the harder almost urban songs at the time. I need to reassess

[@garfieldharrison510]

Well it’s like this Joe unbeknownst to him. They did put the Minneapolis stank on that record.All those horn hits from the Prince style for The Time. At least the embellished version of the sound. That is what Prince was trying to avoid. But, what he unfortunately missed was having the real empire he desired working with others on that collaborative level.

[@Carmen-D-Clinton]

😊 Jammin' ❤

[@Ursula1000]

Fab show. I have that Scritti shirt too! x

[@ZgraceLee]

Dats one thing about certain interviewers gang dat annoys me. Tha constant interrupting the person speaking. Let tha man finish his thought. Let the man finish the question you asked b4 comin in wantin to over talk folks foe. I get their excited cuz they have a legend in tha house, but you gotta contain your excitement n let folks finish speakin. Js

[@veerchasm1]

They should have covered “Human”

[@chrismorale_]

Control did have Time-esque vibes. Same instruments and same personnel. I feel so bad that they had to fake out Joe Jackson . 😒 thats exactly who you would want to mirror during that time. Can't beat success.

[@jerryjaguar3239]

32:27 that's actually Paula Abdul

[@solracshooter4769]

I think Jimmy meant that’s her friend on the actual record not the video

[@BRAND-0]

Daaaang there was a question about the Jackson vocal percussion style and Jimmy was about to dive in about it but got cut off by the interviewer’s rambling jokes liiiiike. You have one chance to speak to a legend y’all. Ask and listen! Otherwise I’m smiling from this interview haha 😅

[@dexterjohnson1]

They talk too much. You want to hear from the guest and not as much from the interviewer.

[@2020TYBO]

I HEAR 'FLY GIRL' BY THE BOOGIE BOYS IN THAT 'NASTY' SOUND SET..

[@SonofBaldwin]

Good comparison.
