Photographer: Sante d'Orazio. Such is the level of Janet Jackson's iconic status that she often seems more like a legend than a mere person, and each album seems more like an event than just another batch of songs. While Jackson's star quality is very much a factor on ALL FOR YOU, the album is an extremely individualistic effort. For one thing, the disc leads off not with a resounding pop hook, but with a lengthy snatch of incongruous conversation. Shortly thereafter, we're launched into "You Ain't Right," a vibrant track that's more about groove than pop. Instead of chasing after the kind of pop-R&B crossover that made Janet disciples like Britney and Christina so successful, this cut pursues a more idiosyncratic, almost Prince-like
