Жанет Джексон – "All Nite (Don't Stop)" синглы туралы

2004 single by Janet Jackson

"All Nite (Don't Stop)" is a song recorded by American singer Janet Jackson for her eighth studio album, Damita Jo (2004). It was written and produced by Jackson and Swedish duo Bag & Arnthor (consisting of Anders Bagge and Arnthor Birgisson), with additional writing from Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Tony "Prof T" Tolbert. Virgin Records released the song to contemporary hit radio in the United States on May 17, 2004, as the album's third and final single. A So So Def remix featuring Elephant Man was also issued. "All Nite (Don't Stop)" is an electro funk and house song that contains elements of samba, Latin, dance pop, and dancehall. Jackson sings the song in a breathy falsetto, while lyrically it discusses being addicted to dancing in a club setting. "All Nite (Don't Stop)" received positive reviews music critics, with many recognizing it as the best song on Damita Jo. In the United States, the single's chart performance was massively affected by the blacklisting of Jackson's work on many radio formats and music channels, regarding conglomerates fined by the U. S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) following her Super Bowl halftime show incident, thus not charting on the Billboard Hot 100. However, it managed to peak atop the Dance Club Songs and reach number eight on Hot Dance Airplay, while reaching the top 20 in Spain and the United Kingdom, as well as charting in several other countries. It additionally won a BMI London Award for Best Pop Song. Its accompanying music video, directed by Francis Lawrence, portrays Jackson and her dancers rehearsing in an abandoned hotel during a power outage, but music channels faced criticism for removing a kiss between two female dancers. The music video received nominations for Best Dance Video at the International Dance Music Awards and Best Choreography at the MVPA Awards. In order to promote both the single and the album, Jackson performed "All Nite (Don't Stop)" during several appearances, including Saturday Night Live, On Air with Ryan Seacrest and Top of the Pops, in addition to the 2004 Video Music Awards Japan. The song was also performed on all of her subsequent tours following its release, the most recent being the Janet Jackson: Together Again tour (2023).

Recording sessions for Damita Jo began in August 2002, with Jackson initially collaborating with longtime partners Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and concluded in February 2004 after 18 months, the longest Jackson had spent recording an album. She initially considered pursuing other career plans, but then decided to record another album. For only the second time in her career since Control (1986), Damita Jo saw the singer working with other music producers, including Swedish producers Anders Bagge and Arnthor Birgisson (collectively known as Bag & Arnthor) Murlyn Music; the duo specifically desired to work with Jackson prior to their collaboration, with Bagge stating, "That's my dream, she's the one I would give anything to work with. The ultimate female artist", while Birgisson commented, "let's just say we will definitely be prepared if and when that happens". Jackson recorded several songs with the duo, including "All Nite (Don't Stop)" and "SloLove", in addition to "I'm Here" and "Put Your Hands On", with the latter two being only included on the Japanese version of the album. In the United States, "All Nite (Don't Stop)" was released to contemporary hit radios on May 17, 2004, by Virgin Records as the third single from Damita Jo, following "Just a Little While" and "I Want You". A dancehall influenced remix known as the So So Def remix features Jamaican musician Elephant Man and was produced by L'Roc and Jermaine Dupri, and included in some releases of the single.

"All Nite (Don't Stop)" was recorded at The Village in Los Angeles, and at Murlyn Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. It was written and produced by Jackson along with Anders Bagge and Arnthor Birgisson of duo Bag & Arnthor, with additional writing by the singer's longtime collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, in addition to Tony "Prof T" Tolbert. Due to the sample's usage, Herbie Hancock, Paul Jackson and Melvin Ragin also received songwriting credits. Bag & Arnthor were also responsible for arranging, programming and recording the track. which takes influences from samba, Latin, dance pop and dancehall. Its melody is built around a sample of Herbie Hancock's "Hang Up Your Hang Ups" (1975). Contactmusic. com's Tareck Ghoneim noted that the track's beats were "on a house tip", which the single "more of a dance track than an r'n'b number", Hits Miles Marshall Lewis echoed this sentiment, calling it a "house jam in the mold" of "Throb". Lyrically, "All Nite (Don't Stop)" discusses being addicted to dancing in a club setting. It opens with the phrase "this is sick" as Jackson later announces, "it's time to dance"; she encourages listeners to "join her in jerking, twerking, and dropping it lower than they had ever dreamed possible"; on the track, Jackson describes herself as being "so intoxicated, I'm so stimulated. Feel so X rated. I could dance all night". Some of the lyrics were considered racy, being exemplified by the line: "Ooh, my body's yours (spank that) / Spank that back door (like that) / Drive me like a Porsche (ooh yeah) / I could dance all night". Gail Mitchell of Billboard commended it as a "beat bangin' number" with "infectious allure", affirming that "Jackson steps back into her signature groove line with this bass driven party jam". Mitchell also regarded it as among Jackson's strongest material, adding that its chorus and "relentless beat" will remain "embedded in your consciousness long after the last note has sounded". Tareck Ghoneim of Contactmusic. com considered it an "interesting" and "infectious" blend of "upbeat samba/dance rhythms and definite funk influence", with "[e]lectro samples, latin percussion and some groans and breaths to give it a sexy ambience". Its aura "on a rnb tip" was considered to have "loads of crossover potential" for several airplay formats. Ghoneim added, "it certainly doesn't strike me as a typical Janet record", citing it as another evolution from "those 'Nasty' days" in "maintaining that dance pop influence but making it slightly more cool". Veronica Heffernan from The New York Times praised its "clubby, big room beats", analyzing its production as "strictly machine made, with Jackson's sweetheart voice protected by layers of effects". Spence D. of IGN heralded the song as an electro funk number which effectively "gets the blood pumping and the booty primed for shaking". The Guardians Alexis Petridis called it "a nervy tune", noting the song's "impossibly lithe bassline", while praising it as "not only inventive, but brilliantly constructed". Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine called it a "pulsating club track", while Aidin Vaziri of San Francisco Chronicle regarded it as the best song from the album, and the best dance song since New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle". Pitchforks Chris Ott called it "genius" and rated it three and a half out of four stars, qualifying it as part of the "mashup craze" in which artists were "dreaming up new, ear catching juxtapositions to dazzle radio". Ott labeled it as "a notable standout", while praising the track's "borderline dancehall/Latin club rhythms". Asian entertainment outlet Fridae qualified it as "chart friendly", "bass line driven", and "burning from the explicit references". Tom Moon of The Philadelphia Inquirer called it a moment "when everything clicks" on the album, adding that its "primal quality" ultimately "juxtaposes Jackson's ethereal yearning against agitated synthesizers". "All Nite (Don't Stop)" won the award for Best Pop Song at the 2005 BMI London Awards.

The song's chart success was largely affected by the blacklist of Jackson's singles and music videos which followed her controversial Super Bowl halftime show incident. It peaked at number 33 on Billboards Mainstream Top 40 chart, number 19 on Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles, and number one on Hot Dance Club Play. It also reached number eight on Hot Dance Airplay. In Belgium, it peaked at number 21 in the Flemish region, while reaching one position lower in Wallonia. The video was filmed at the abandoned El Dorado Hotel in the Skid Row neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Choreographed by Gil Duldulao, it took a minimal approach in comparison to Jackson's prior clips, focusing heavily on intricate choreographed routines as well as gay friendly themes amongst several of Jackson's dancers. Virginia Heffernan of The New York Times praised the video as being "clever", "brave", and "sexually restless" with "adventures in exhibitionism [that] often seem to involve relatively small patches of skin, coupled with raunchy gyrations". She compared the video's theme of "orgiastic dancing by candlelight" to the Northeast blackout of 2003, using the "civics lesson" of a dancer winding a copper wire from a stereo system around a car battery to generate power in an abandoned building. Hefferanan concluded that the "lo fi" choreography of the clip is in opposition to making "a gaudy show of her rapport with her dancers". The video received several nominations on awards, such as the 20th Annual International Dance Music Awards, in the categories of "Best Dance Video" and "Best Choreography", MVPA Awards for "Best Choreography", with its director Francis Laurence being nominated for "Best Direction of a Female Artist" and winning "Director of the Year", for multiple videos including "All Nite (Don't Stop)".
