Producer Spotlight: Rodney Jerkins

-
He could perhaps be best known for his extensive work with Brandy but also artists such as Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson. Rodney Jerkins rose to prominence through his work with Brandy on her second album; "Never Say Never". It was after that album's success where his star started to rise. He would eventually create a sound[with Brandy] that would serve as a sound for many of the artists Rodney would work with. This signature sound upset Brandy and led her to speak out. Brandy's speaking out has created friction between the working and personal relationship between her and Rodney Jerkins.

First appearing as a producer on Gina Thompson's debut album; "Nobody Does It Better"; Rodney was a virtual unknown but showed a lot of promise. Rodney would later appear on Mary J. Blige's 1997 album; "Share My World"(which is one of my personal favorites). The list below represents some of the songs Rodney Jerkins has blessed us with over the years. You may recognize some songs and others you might not.

  • The Things You Do; Gina Thompson
  • Say My Name; Destiny's Child
  • Deja Vu; Beyonce featuring Jay-Z
  • Enough Cryin'; Mary J. Blige
  • Shoulda Let You Go; Keyshia Cole featuring Amina
  • One Wish; Ray J
  • Everything's Gonna Be Alright; Aaliyah
  • Ain't Gonna Cry No More; Monica
  • He Wasn't Man Enough; Toni Braxton
  • Feedback; Janet Jackson
  • It's Not Right But It's Okay; Whitney Houston
  • You Rock My World; Michael Jackson

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time.
