I had to get this cd when it first came out. The single has the video edit of the track, an edited and extended Hex/Mac club mix which is really really good, the so so def remix which is of course jermaine dupri, the remix the basic j.d. type remix is a little slower than the orginal but still a fast song. It also has a velvet remix that is ok but is not the best remix on the cd.

Going back to the song Ventura Highway, Janet's release off her All For You Album is simply wonderful. It's a happy, peppy, wonderful song that almost makes you smile just to hear it. This single import has a remix or two not included on the American release. If you like the song, then get the single, but you might as well get the All For You cd if you just want the original version (plus you get 19 other tracks).

Even if I'm listening to this adorable song in Febuary, I feel like it's summer. This song (one of the highlights of the mostly disappointing ALL FOR YOU album) is Janet's best song since "That's the Way Loves Goes", in my opinion. Of the remixes, my fav is the So So Def remix.

Janet Jackson is back with yet another bound to be number one hit song and its called "Someone To Call my lover". This single has some of the best Janet Jackson remixes I have ever heard, I don't know if its because this track is easily remixable or if this song is genre friendly. With just these remixes Janet hits many genre's like pop, rap, R&B, dance and more.

Track Listing:

1.) Someone To Call My Lover (Single Edit) (4:14) = This is supposedly a single edit yet it sound exactly the same as the original version that we all love.

2.) Someone To Call My Lover (Hex Hector/Mac Quayle Radio Mix) (3:49) = This remix is very dance like yet it still has values like that of the original and is and original in its own.

3.) Someone To Call My Lover (So So Def Remix) (4:40) = This is the remix featuring Jermaine Dupri and samples a few songs to make this remix the hit that it is. This remix is radio friendly and leans more to the Rap/R&B side.

4.) Someone To Call My Lover (Velvet Mix) (4:46) = Being that the remix is called "Velvet Mix" you may be thinking its supposed to sound like Janet's previous work on her last album "Velvet Rope" however, I don't believe this remix sound anything like any song from that album but yet I think this is a really good remix.

5.) Someone To Call My Lover (Hex Hector/Mac Quayle Club Mix) (7:48) = You may be thinking this remix sounds like that of track two however it is completely different and live up to any other club mix.

This may be Janet's only track that is full blooded pop so you don't wanna miss out on it or any of the remixes. I recommend this single to any Janet fan or fan of the song because if you like the original you'll love the remixes. Don't leave Janet waiting for "Someone To Call Her Lover! Pick up this disc now!

I must say when I heard the entire album, I was over all dissapointed. Unlike Ms. Jackson's previous recordings, this albuum is full of explict jibberish that...says nothing. The hold project seems rushed. Janet, dumped the explict stuff...it makes you appear as if you have nothing left to give and runing of out new material. I know sex sells but you have true beauty inside and out, which is much more marketable and pleasing...i'm waiting. However,"Someone to call my lover" is cute.

It's nice to see Hex Hector appeared on this single. His remix is not typical Hex's sound, with a soft but dance freindly beat. Also, the so so def version is fantastic. When you hear the song, you feel you are having a great holiday in the beach,

Track listing: 1. Single Edit 4:14 2. Hex Hector/Mac Quayle radio mix 3:49 3, So So Def remix 4:40 4. Velvet mix 4:46 5. Hex Hector/Mac Qualye Club Mix 7:48

Why the heck did Janet not release this in the US? It would have made such an impact on the Dance Singles charts, and the Hex Hector Club Mix is great! If you want to hear it, just go to the power-mix.com website and you can listen to the whole thing, not just 30 seconds to a minute. Anyway, this import ROXX!!!
Avid Janet fan and I can't wait for "20 Years Old"!!!

When I first heard someone to call my lover would be the follow up release to the hit song all for you and at first I was disappointed cause I thought trust a try was the best song on all for you and janet kept saying she loves that song, but then if you think about it someone to call my lover fits in perfectly with the moods of summer with the sampling of a guitar riff from ventura highway by america, and it also combines freestyle drum & bass beats, r&b, dance and pop, which shows off janet's electic musical style nicely. The edited single version is slightly different from the album version cause it's shortened and there are more drum machine sounds put into the chorus to make it more radio friendly. The dance mixes of it are janet's best ever, the harmonies and the beat fit in beautifully with the melody and dance beat. The Velvet Mix is also an amazing version of the song, for some time I liked it even better than the original, it also fits in nicely with summer and you can relax to it. Also the so so def remix featuring now boyfriend jermaine dupri is included on this set. I think jermaine is capable of producing better remixes than this one but it's alright. Also this song went to number 3 on the pop charts and had a beautiful simple video

someone to call my lover is a good summer song even though janet is capable of making better songs than this. It sounds like it's over 10 years old, the lyrics are too simple and she relied on sampling, but it's still very listenable and catchy. The remixes, especially the velvet mix is really good though, and so are the dance mixes, they really fit in with the moods of summer. So this single is definitely recommended to everyone.

This is Janet's best work to date! If you never heard the song on the radio and you bought this single, you wouldn't know which one was the original, they are really all that! Great Job Janet, Jimmy, Terry!
