Once again, she enlists the help of Time graduates Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (one of the more soulful production/songwriting teams of 1980s and '90s R&B) with wildly successful results. In 1989, protest songs were common in rap but rare in R&B -- Janet Jackson, following rap's lead, dares to address social and political topics on "The Knowledge," the disturbing "State of the World," and the poignant ballad "Living in a World" (which decries the reality of children being exposed to violence). Jackson's voice is wafer-thin, and she doesn't have much of a range -- but she definitely has lots of soul and spirit and uses it to maximum advantage on those gems as well as nonpolitical pieces ranging from the Prince-influenced funk/pop of "Miss You Much" and "Alright" to the caressing, silky ballads "Someday Is Tonight," "Alone," and "Come Back to Me" to the pop/rock smoker "Black Cat." For those purchasing their first Janet Jackson release, Rhythm Nation would be an even wiser investment than Control -- and that's saying a lot. .co.uk Picking up where the breakthrough funk-pop of Control left off, Janet Jackson and her production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis laced Rhythm Nation with high-minded references to societal ills--seldom the favored province of dance music, but a daring attempt nonetheless. Songs like "State of the World" and "The Knowledge" follow in the tradition of "free your mind and your ass will follow." Still, aside from the title track, it was the pure pop fare and dance music that stormed the charts: "Escapade," "Love Will Never Do (Without You)," "Alright," and "Come Back to Me" concentrate on the politics of personal relationships, not public policy, while "Black Cat" burns the place down with a fierce burst of hard rock. Rhythm Nation 1814 doesn't necessarily hang together thematically, but it's so chock full of hits, you scarcely notice. --Daniel Durchholz ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000002GFN | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,883 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #125 in Dance Pop (CDs & Vinyl) #138 in Adult Contemporary (CDs & Vinyl) #141 in Soul (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (1,491) | | Date First Available | December 14, 2006 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | MFR075021392021#VG | | Label | Universal Music Group | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Universal Music Group | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 1989 | | Product Dimensions | 5.71 x 5.04 x 0.39 inches; 3.6 ounces | ## Images ![Rhythm Nation 1814 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91oVOXl1U2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Janet Jackson, rhythm nation 1814 *by H***T on 24 January 2025* Had this on tape thirty years ago, now got it on cd, it's non stop playing in the car, great cd, very pleased ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Janet and the revolution in music!! *by S***R on 9 April 2009* 1989, a year thatshowed us music was definately changing, as with society itself was changing. Madonna sang her masterpiece album Like A Prayer, Kate Bush released the stunning This Sensual World, it was inevitable Ms Jackson was gonna go the same route...little did we all predict how amazing this album would be.this has to be one of the top 10 greatest albums of the 80's i have ever heard.Control is Janet's masterpiece album, Rhythm Nation is definately Janet's revolutionary album.complete with original and gritty songs with a range of sounds from R&B to punk rock and even a couple sensual songs too.with sales of over 12 million it shows that Janet was definitley on her way up and out in the music industry matching the sales of Control and the success which would carry on with the stunning Janet. and The Velvet Rope.overall this is a needed listen for everyone as much as Marvin Gaye's What's Going On was in 1971.overall this is one of the greatest albums ever produced and the success definately continues through Janet,The Velvet Rope and All For You.it shows how inspiring she has been for superstar Britney Spears and how feel good it makes you feel, even though this hasn't changed the world the lyrics really make you think about modern society...that and it makes you wanna dance every now and then.10/10 GOLD!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Musical genius. *by M***E on 9 December 2014* Most people would agree that this is her best work she's ever produced, others might not.To put it simply, this is her 'Bad' album, where the majority of the songs were hits/singles.My favourite part of the album are the 3 ballads back-to-back at the end. (Lonely/Come back to me/Someday is Tonight).Won't ever be a time when I'll stop listening to it, well recommended! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/51790314-rhythm-nation-1814](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/51790314-rhythm-nation-1814) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
