Hey, y'all, Russ Martin. Just drop in a preview of this week's Pop Pantheon All Access episode in which

Louis is on vacation, so I am joined by enemy journalist and critic Kay and Sean Williams. We dig into

Tanishay's brand new seventh studio album, Quantum Baby. If you enjoy this snippet and you want to hear

To talk about the whole influences as well on the album, I also found a lot of like Janet

Jackson-esque vocals, which like of of course, is another one of her inspirations. I think maybe that's where she gets that amazing harmonies and that choral stacking that he was talking about. Because whenever she goes into like that flattery chorus, I always hear like Janet Jackson's. I can never remember song names. It's really bad.

Not poetic justice. That's the Kendrick Lamarflip. But is it anytime any place.

Yes. Yeah. Anytime any place is always a good one. But it's just that higher register of Janet.

It's something that hasn't really been replicated in pop since I don't think anyone's been able to really reach the same misty vibes as Janet.

And I feel like that's actually a part of the alert of Tanache because that was a part of the alert of Janet.

And I think that also helps like records like this.

I heard so much Janet on Thirsty in that like whispering sound just like really in her Janet bag.

Yeah, she did you want me in the worst way?

Do it like it's my birthday.

I know I'm not too dirty.

But I never lie, don't why.

Don't I make you so thirsty, yeah. Don't, if you're nasty, on the record again.

It's just like there's so many direct links to Janet Jackson that's like really cool,

especially like dance breaks and stuff like that and how like she was still able to incorporate

that sort of element of R&B culture that's

kind of been lost nowadays that was cultivated by Janet and stuff like that. I love that.
