Wonders will never cease

Against all expectations, Janet Jackson's new single has leaked and it is really, really good. Called Feedback, it's apparently produced by Rodney Jerkins (Destiny's Child, Brandy, Spice Girls).

MP3s are all over the internet already. There are some good quality ones at Kevipodmusic.

What to expect: A techno-tinged R&B dancefloor track, with beats big enough to slap a grown man off a bicycle. Nonetheless, it's a fairly safe, club/chart track - and very reminiscent of recent Britney singles. If the song started "It's Janet, bitch", no-one would be surprised.

What not to expect: Janet to be any less obsessed with her body, sex, or her body having sex.

Best lyric: "I'm flyer than a pelican"

Most awful lyric of all time: "I'm heavy like a first day period" (I seriously hope I mis-heard this)

In summary: A definite return to form - but I think Janet can do better. Fingers crossed for the album (out next February).

PS: If the MP3 link doesn't work, the song is now streaming in full quality on Janet's website. Cool new logo, too...
