Janet Jackson's debut album is a curious artifact, a dance-pop record that bore little resemblance to the groundbreaking sound she would later pioneer. It arrived with little fanfare, a somewhat unfocused introduction to an artist still in search of her voice.
- The album was produced by Ian Prince and Angela Winbush. It features the singles "Young Love" and "When I Think of You". The album reached number 18 on the Billboard 200 chart.
- The album was released on September 21, 1982, by A&M Records. It was a commercial disappointment, failing to produce any major hit singles.
- Despite its initial lackluster performance, the album has since been certified platinum by the RIAA. It marked the beginning of Jackson's recording career, setting the stage for her future success.
Janet Jackson is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress. She is the youngest member of the prominent Jackson family of musicians.
