Ep. 154 - Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation"

Janet Jackson's 4th album Rhythm Nation 1814 is 33! Its title track is infamous across pop culture, but trended unexpectedly again due to its literal music notes. The bass line caused laptops to crash and Microsoft had to install an audio filter to repair. Analyzing my favorite Janet Jackson album as a superfan, I share what influenced the concept album, innovative presentation of its title track, and record breaking accolades it received over time.
