Disco de Janet Jackson: “Someone to Call My Lover, Pt. 2 [#1]”

Even if I'm listening to this adorable song in Febuary, I feel like it's summer. This song (one of the highlights of the mostly disappointing ALL FOR YOU album) is Janet's best song since "That's the Way Loves Goes", in my opinion. Of the remixes, my fav is the So So Def remix.

It's nice to see Hex Hector appeared on this single. His remix is not typical Hex's sound, with a soft but dance freindly beat. Also, the so so def version is fantastic. When you hear the song, you feel you are having a great holiday in the beach,

Track listing: 1. Single Edit 4:14 2. Hex Hector/Mac Quayle radio mix 3:49 3, So So Def remix 4:40 4. Velvet mix 4:46 5. Hex Hector/Mac Qualye Club Mix 7:48

When I first heard someone to call my lover would be the follow up release to the hit song all for you and at first I was disappointed cause I thought trust a try was the best song on all for you and janet kept saying she loves that song, but then if you think about it someone to call my lover fits in perfectly with the moods of summer with the sampling of a guitar riff from ventura highway by america, and it also combines freestyle drum & bass beats, r&b, dance and pop, which shows off janet's electic musical style nicely. The edited single version is slightly different from the album version cause it's shortened and there are more drum machine sounds put into the chorus to make it more radio friendly. The dance mixes of it are janet's best ever, the harmonies and the beat fit in beautifully with the melody and dance beat. The Velvet Mix is also an amazing version of the song, for some time I liked it even better than the original, it also fits in nicely with summer and you can relax to it. Also the so so def remix featuring now boyfriend jermaine dupri is included on this set. I think jermaine is capable of producing better remixes than this one but it's alright. Also this song went to number 3 on the pop charts and had a beautiful simple video

This is Janet's best work to date! If you never heard the song on the radio and you bought this single, you wouldn't know which one was the original, they are really all that! Great Job Janet, Jimmy, Terry!

When I first heard this song on the radio I thought "oh, just another singer sampling another song". It did not dawn on me that it was Janet Jackson. So when I previewed this song on a listening station you could not imagin my disbelief!

This is so not Janet! I mean it's one thing to sample a song's guitar or keyboard riff and use it as apart of her song like she did with Got Til It's Gone and You Wan This, but it's quite another - and rather lousy at that - when the sample is the song's entire backdrop!

I remember hearing that Puffy wanted to do Janet Jackson and I thought, "Oh, no. I don't want him making Janet to sound like she is singing karaoke!" or something like that. Now here Janet go doing it anyway without Puffy.

Ok, enough on the ranting, Hex Hector takes this song to the dance floor and makes it bouncy and exciting while only hinting at it's original elements but the song stands on it's own music.
