For hours, I watched her perfect the paramilitary moves of a thrilling dance exhorting the world to break the color line. At the end of the day, I was invited into her trailer, where she had changed from a take-charge black uniform to oversize jeans and loose white T-shirt. Here, she was hardly fierce at all. Instead, she was reticent, even timid. She was so soft-spoken that I had to lean in to make out her words. She was uncomfortable speaking to a stranger and, with elaborate politeness, made it clear that the shorter the interview, the better. Her success almost seemed like a source of embarrassment. Speaking about her private life and professional accomplishments was obviously painful. So instead, we talked about music -- by other people. In her whisper-quiet way, she articulated the grandeur of her artistic dreams. Her confidence, deep and steely strong, was wrapped in a remarkable sweetness. Nearly three decades later, having just turned 52, her passions are unchanged: pursuing grand artistic endeavors while protecting her privacy. Her self-effacing demeanor -- still sweet, still barely audible -- defies even a hint of braggadocio, in spite of the achievements that have earned her the Icon Award at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards BBMAs : No. Our recent discussions begin in December 2017 in her spacious Midtown Manhattan apartment. Before we start talking, she tenderly bathes, powders and eases her 1-year-old son, Eissa, into a peaceful slumber. She laughs more frequently and with greater abandon. I meet Jackson again in May, in the living room of her hotel suite in Malibu, Calif. Her hair is gathered in a tight bun above her head. No makeup, no jewelry. Despite the hectic sprint to rehearse for the shows while recording new songs for an as-yet-unannounced release, Jackson appears to have resolved that pernicious parenting-versus-career conundrum, doing both with grace. She and I pick up where we left off in New York, digging into her music and the history swirling around it. Using characteristically precise, thoughtful language, she puts her legacy in a context of collaboration and the steady conquering of her own struggles with self-confidence. Eleven studio albums: six in the 20th century, five in the 21st and all beginning at age 16. Excitement was in the air. Music was always my heart, and now I was getting to sing my heart out. I knew I had something to say, I knew I had to assert myself. I also knew I had to go through the painful process of what my brothers had gone through. I had to thank my father for his help and then move on. I had to assert myself. Control was undoubtedly the break-through. But I think the concept is sometimes misunderstood. I know that God has absolute control. But I also know that turning myself into a control freak goes against my character. So I saw control, even as a 20-year-old, in modest and limited ways. For example, I agreed to be produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. That was critical because they were not controlling. They let me be me. They encouraged me to tell my story, express my attitudes and step forward with my convictions. They encouraged me to write. I also had the control to select choreographers and video directors who could channel -- and help me shape -- my own dance moves, turning them into visual poetry. It was more about molding fruitful partnerships. And based on those partnerships and the success of Control, I could move on and assert myself even more boldly. Can we pause a second to listen to the title track to Rhythm Nation together? I was determined to create a longform version because I believed the song merited it. The top was down, the wind blowing, the sun blazing and the music blasting. He was a music-loving man who also saw I needed to sing about issues that were important to me -- like racism. He understood my need to protest. I was truly fortunate that my early mentors -- especially label owners Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss -- were completely artist-oriented. They not only allowed me to go my own way, they urged me to do so. I was discovering freedom in physical pleasure and loved writing about sexuality. I tried to do it subtly and tastefully, but I also wanted to push the boundaries a bit. I have an unreleased track from that period that underlines your point. Maybe it should have gone on the record. I have other powerful memories about janet. Talking about pride -- early on, you were embraced by the gay pride movement. It was important to me to honor them not mournfully but joyously in a celebratory song. Their spirit did so much to bolster mine. Sometimes when people talk about Velvet Rope, they call it my edgiest or sexiest record. Yet the heart of the record is not about sex at all. The other highlight of Velvet Rope was working with , another master. I had long loved. Tell me about singing with. I adore his voice. I was also glad to do a dance song, and Luther was gracious enough to adapt to my rhythmic style. Because of his genius, it came off perfectly. I felt like I was taking myself a little too seriously. Art is serious stuff, but when an artist -- or least an artist like me -- loses her sense of humor or her feeling for pure fun, something goes missing. Every once in a great while, I have to go back and bring out that little girl inside of me who can simply blow off steam and try to spread joy. Sometimes purely happy music is the best medicine I can ingest. That was big fun. This was 2004, College Dropout time, when the world was just recognizing his talent. I was 16 and in between my first two records. I jumped at the chance. I loved being one of the P. You could say, though, that I might have been anticipating sleepless nights. I wish I could. Anything can inspire me. This morning, I saw this lovely elderly Japanese woman walking down the streets of Hollywood wearing an adorable bonnet with bright red flowers. She might be a song. I remembered an especially painful chapter in my early life last night before going to bed. That might be a song. I woke up this morning and heard a bird chirping in a rhythm that captivated my heart. Maybe that will turn into a new groove. Like everyone else, my feelings are fluid. My ideas are fleeting. I like to keep it that way. I have to let those songs and concepts come to me rather than chase them down. I want to be a channel for whatever images and emotions are running through my imagination. Spontaneity is so important to me. It allows for surprise, and, for me, surprise is what breaks up the boredom of daily life. Music does that for me. Its healing properties are extraordinary. So much of your music over these past four decades has been about putting out positive messages, whether personal or societal. Young artists are exhibiting more courage than ever. Music is more alive than ever. We women artists -- and women in general -- are saying we will not be controlled, manipulated or abused. You mentioned younger artists. Which ones impress you the most? I also have a special place in my heart for. Bruno was really the first music my son responded to. During and after his birth, I comforted myself with Brazilian jazz, music that always relaxes me. Then when the baby began crawling, Bruno was breaking out big and on the radio all the time. That delighted both of us. Bruno is a throwback to the days when the greatest artists could do it all: write, sing, dance, produce. So here you are, a single mom of 52, about to run into the studio, make new music, learn new dance moves and then embark on a grueling tour. What is the source of your drive? The drive is in my DNA. Motivation is something I treasure. Besides, for all its difficulties, this is the life I love. They mean the world to me. Now more than ever, performing, whether in the studio or onstage, brings me a satisfaction I find nowhere else. My inclination toward harsh self-criticism and even self-negation has dramatically eased up. I believe in all the different methods of help -- smart psychology, vigorous exercise and sincere spirituality. God is the greatest healer of all and the most potent force in the universe. And for someone like me, raised in show business where self-concern is always a priority, how fortunate I am now to be concerned, first and foremost, with the welfare of someone else. Day after day and night after night, holding my baby in my arms, I am at peace. In those moments, all is right with the world.
