All for You (Janet Jackson album)

All for You is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Janet Jackson. Released on April 24, 2001 by Virgin Records, the album was recorded during Jackson's separation from then-husband René Elizondo, Jr. The album is mainly more dance-pop tinged hip hop and R&B than her previous album The Velvet Rope (1997).
