Janet Jackson - Velvet Rope

Velvet rope is commonly known to separate crowds of fans, 
form an orderly queues, 
or section a VIP area, 
but the concept of this song/ record for Janet, 
is metaphorically a velvet rope is within every human being 
which keeps their true feelings separated from those around them. 
The album is a introspective look into depression, 
an individual's need to feel special 
and a metaphor for emotional boundaries. 
A music critic said its a
‘self-examination and an audio journal of a woman's road to self-discovery.’
