These are the 8 that would most likely be considered for the next single. "Strawberry Bounce" is more like a novelty extended skit. "Like You Don't Love Me" and "Could This Be Love" are obviously not meant to be singles. "Moist" and "Warmth" are cut from the edited version of the CD. "SloLove" is way too house for radio.
The title track is insanely catchy. It also has one of the best chances at being a cross over track.
"Sexhibition" is just terrible to me. It's such generic hip-pop. When Janet comes she brings her own style to radio and this sounds like something Justin or Britney could have released.
"My Baby" is okay, but one Kanye West release was enough. Also, acoustic leaning urban only seems to do well at Urban AC lately.
"Spending Time With You" is way too slow to follow-up "I Want You". I could see releasing it as a final single, but not now.
"Island Life" would be a fantastic summer single. It's very catchy and lately, you can't go wrong with a Cathy Dennis track.
"All Nite" is hot, seductive dance track, but it's a little too funky and dancy for urban.
"R&B Junkie" is the "All For You" of this album. Catchy, very danceable, and heavy use of an 80's sample. Evelyn King isn't as radio accessible as the Change sample was though, so I don't think this would be a hit on as big a scale. "I'm In Love" did not age as well as "The Glow Of Love" and I could really see this either completely blowing up or completely bombing.
"Thinkin' Bout My Ex" is one of Janet's favorites. She talks very highly of it. However, ballad + Babyface doesn't seem like the best combination for a single.
If I had to choose, I would go with "Damita Jo" or "Island Life" but the latter sounds too much like Ashanti's "Rock Wit U" so I'll go with "Damita Jo".
