Control is the thirdstudio albumby American recording artistJanet Jackson, released on February 4, 1986, byA&M Records. Her collaborations with the songwriters and record producersJimmy Jam and Terry Lewisresulted in an unconventional sound: a fusion ofrhythm and blues,rapvocals,funk,discoandsynthesizedpercussion that established Jackson, Jam and Lewis as the leading innovators ofcontemporary R&B. The album became Jackson’s commercial breakthrough and enabled her to transition into thepopular musicmarket, with Control becoming one of the foremost albums of the1980sandcontemporary music.

Containing autobiographical themes, a majority of the album’s lyrics came as the result of a series of changes in her life: a recent annulment of her marriage to singerJames DeBarge, severing her business affairs from her father and managerJosephand the rest of theJackson family, hiring the A&M executive John McClain as her new management, and her subsequent introduction to Jam and Lewis. The album has been praised by critics as both an artistic feat and as a personal testament of self-actualization. It has also been regarded as a template upon which numerous female artists have modeled their careers, particularly black women.

Following its release, Control became Jackson’s first record to top theBillboard 200albums chart in the United States and five of its commercial singles”What Have You Done for Me Lately”, “Nasty”, “Control”, “When I Think of You”, and “Let’s Wait Awhile”peaked within the top five of theBillboard Hot 100singles chart. Music videos created to promote the singles showcased her dancing ability and became a catalyst forMTV’s evolving demographics. The album went on to receive several accolades, including a nomination for theGrammy Award for Album of the Yearand winningProducer of the Year, Non-Classicalfor Jam and Lewis in 1987. It is listed by theNational Association of Recording Merchandisersand theRock and Roll Hall of Fameas one of the 200 Definitive Albums of All Time, in addition to being included in several publications “best of” album lists.
