Janet Jackson - "No Sleep" [Music Video Premiere!]
BOOM! And just like that Janet Jackson premiered the official music video for her latest single “No Sleep” on YouTube today, July 24th – without any prior warning. And surprisingly she shot a music video for the remix version featuring rapper J. Cole and not the rapless, original one. We knew the remix was official but I personally didn’t expect Janet to give the remix the music video treatment. I like J. Cole’s verse, but I just prefer the original, Janet Jackson-only version a lot more. I just think the rapping was not necessary at all.
Anyhow, as you know the sexy “No Sleep” is the lead single from Janet’s upcoming eleventh studio album, which she will release on her own label of Rhythm Nation Records later this year, and it’s a super sexy R&B ballad, filled with the delicate yet exquisite vocals of Janet.
The nocturnal “No Sleep” music video features Ms. Jackson giving us a tour of her nicely-decorated mansion, with photographs of her family being beamed on the walls, and once she reaches the living room there’s J. Cole sitting on the white sofa rapping his verse and showing off his power for multiplication.
