Pop Perspective: Janet Jackson's "No Sleeep"
The Idolator editors review & rate the entertainer's new single.

Nowadays, a single release is quickly followed by a lyric video. Janet Jackson has naturally gone that route for her “No Sleeep” single (out today, July 7) — but instead of an overtly flashy and way-too-bright lyric video, the entertainer decided to be subtle and stick to the music.

The minimal visual reflects the recording studio experience, as it focuses on close-ups of the lyrics printed on paper filled with scribbled notes, live instruments, mixing consoles, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis‘ signature fedoras and Janet bopping to the beat.

Janet was recently honored at the 2015 BET Awards with the Ultimate Icon award, with Ciara, Tinashe and Jason Derulo tributing her most famous dance routines.
