Janet Jackson Returns to Glory in 'No Sleep' Video Featuring J. Cole

On Friday, Janet Jackson whispered back into our hearts with the video for her newest song, “No Sleep.” Yaaasss queen!

In the clip shot in a spacious house with a comfy couch, fluffy blankets and stairs made for a quick dance break, Janet seems to be in full swing. There are even old photos of the icon as a child and with her family to remind fans just how long she’s been doing this entertainment jig. J.Cole, and his locs, appear mid-way through the clip and as he delivers his verse, one has to thank the R&B gods that Jackson didn’t get the usual 16 bars from the usual dude. Not to mention “No Sleep” is reminiscent of “Lonely” from Rhythm Nation, which was a great album cut.

Welcome back, JJ, we’ve missed you.
