Hot Shot: Janet Jackson Begins Work On New Album?

Published: Tuesday 11th Jun 2013 by David

Is Janet Jackson hard at work a new studio album?

Well, if hints thrown out by members of her camp are anything to go by, it’d be safe to say she is. 

Come on, we’ll fill you in below…

In the snap above, Janet can be seen in the company of her sound engineer Ian Cross during a recent trip to Turkey, unveiled to the world after reports indicated he had been following her around the world since September 2012- collaborating with her on every stop she makes.

Quite interestingly, the anticipation for the supposed project reached fever pitch when the icon’s fan base when it emerged that Cross had been appointed the role of A&R/Producer Engineer at Janet Jackson Music, and after he shared the following message online below…

“Music has taken me to some crazy places but I never thought it would bring me here. This is Doha, the capital of Qatar. It occupies the Qatar Peninsula on the northeasterly coast of the much larger Arabian Peninsula. Its sole land border is with Saudi Arabia to the South, with the rest of its territory surrounded by the Persian Gulf.

It’s home for the next few weeks. Qatar is kinda like the Switzerland of the middle east. Very peaceful and neutral in it’s politics. They are a very kind, thoughtful people. And quite frankly, too rich to think about becoming suicide bombers. Janet and I always talked about getting away from it all and recording in paradise. Given her new husband is from Doha we packed up a studio, rented a villa on the beach and came here to make music. I know, I know. I’m one lucky bastard.”

We can’t wait to hear what they cook up.

In saying that, we hope more effort is placed in introducing Janet’s best work to an audience who may not be as familiar with it as her fans are. For, as crazy as this sounds, there are some (see fans of today’s brightest stars) who are unaware of the brilliance that was/is Brand Janet.

The videos. The choreography. The music.

Indeed, while it’s ultimately the music her fans will enjoy most from this new album, it’ll be Janet’s presentation of herself that will determine its success.

A presentation, that will hopefully use some kind of medium to showcase her discography, achievements and art to an audience that can be a little forgetful (see Tyra Banks’ use of ‘America’s Next Top Model’ to establish a ‘done did it’ status in her field)

      hahaha you are killing those b****** with your avi games, aren’t you ? 😆

      I don’t care to do so tbh.

      • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 11, 2013

        L.M.F.A.O.

        And you’re ‘KILLING THIS B****’ with yours.

        Lord…

        yes 😉

    • AHLI3000 September 23, 2013

      You’re HOT!

  4. RoyalKev June 11, 2013

    Yesssss Mamiyo Ki! Janet is finna slay, I can feel it!
    I need a bit of 2013 RN meets Janet meets TVR! Something with this feel to it will suffice:

    01. Pleasure Principle
    02. Black Cat
    03. New Agenda
    04. You Want This
    05. Doesn’t Really Matter
    06. Island Life
    07. Do It To Me
    08. Trust A Try
    09. What About
    10. Any Time,Any Place
    11. I Get Lonely
    12. Truth

    Anyway, Janet does Janet and whatever she’s concocting will be supreme! That’s the bottom line. We need real music from real artists like this before the world ends!

    • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 11, 2013

      That’s a good list… I was just thinking that.

      This era, musically, speaking, I would love it if she were to create a fusion of her ‘Rhythm Nation’ & ‘Janet’ era’s especially, with elements of ‘Control’, The Velvet Rope’ & ‘All For You’.

      For me:

      1) That’s The Way Love Goes
      2) Nasty
      3) Love Will Never Do (Without You)
      4) Throb
      5) Escapade
      6) I Get Lonely
      7) Someone To Call My Lover
      8) If
      9) Miss You Much
      10) Would You Mind

      I love Madonna, but I need Ms. Janet to be on top again.

      🙂 🙂 🙂

      • RoyalKev June 11, 2013

        Of course, touches of TTWLG & IF have to be incorporated. Nasty , MYM and Escapade are just such classic Janet songs. Your right, elements of Control should be added. That album is always left out, but it is nothing less than brilliant!

      • FAF June 11, 2013

        Why would she rehash those songs? Lmao y’all are delusional I love janet but if you think she’s gonna give 90s R&B, u are mistaken

      • RoyalKev June 11, 2013

        @ FaF

        I didn’t ask for part 2 of anything, I requested songs that have the feel of her classics. The 2013 part basically explains that I want something modern. I want a message driven album (RN), that meets the sensuality of the Janet era, that also reflects her inner most thoughts at this time (TVR).

  5. Spunkypoop June 11, 2013

    MY Queen is coming for your brains b****** get ready. I heard about this picture yesterday but I didn’t believe it. I’m so glad its true. OHH and by the way Sam, Janet doesn’t need anybody telling her how to come out and market herself she has always been in control and killed it every time. THANK YOU!

  6. B Lamont June 11, 2013

    Finally…posted on here…though this surfaced over the weekend! I just want everyone involved to not spill too much before it’s released. Janet does best when she hits you without u knowing she’s coming.

  7. TRUTH TEA June 11, 2013

    *Prays that she doesn’t flop*

    QUEEN.

  8. Loyalty June 11, 2013

    I really hope she tours again at some point I would love to see her live 🙁 And Janet doesn’t need to worry about flopping! Shes already there and established. She can make music for fun and her fans will be here for it regardless.

  9. DOSSOME June 11, 2013

    Yaaaaaaaas Janet…i’m so here for it..if it’s anything like DISCIPLINE,I’m buying it,that album was waaaay ahead of its time…..I hate how Samantha disrespects my other fave but seeing how hard he goes in for Janet,i’m grateful…

    *plays THE VELVET ROPE WORLD TOUR (The greatest tour by a female artist)*

    • RoyalKev June 11, 2013

      Omg, I never see anyone going up for Discipline. I love that album. How did you feel about 20 Y.O.?

      • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 11, 2013

        @RoyalKev

        I loved ‘Discipline’… ‘Greatest X, Rock Wit U, Feedback, Luv U, Bathroom Break, Rollercoaster and 2night’ were my FAVOURITE songs on that album.

        I wasn’t a fan of ‘2.0 Y.O’… I liked ‘Damita Jo’ better. Sonically speaking, it carried a different sound/vibe to that of all her ’00’ albums.

        *Shrugs*

      • DOSSOME June 11, 2013

        @RoyalKev

        i love 20Y.O but by Janet’s standards,it was a little too average/simple but DISCIPLINE was Janet in her element….Thing with Janet is her jawdropping artistry,i could care less what that album sold.

      • isaiah ogua August 24, 2013

        OMG!!!! i cant wait for janet’s new album i hope it has alot of new and old dancing on it and she should do a world tour in 2014 . ALL JANET FANS WHEN THIS ALBUM IS RELEASED PLEASE BUY IT ITS UP TO US TO MAKE THIS HER 7TH #1 ALBUM .CANT WAIT LOVE THE QUEEN JANET.

    • RoyalKev June 11, 2013

      @ Jared
      I could understand why people wouldn’t like 20 Y.O. even though I think its pretty listenable, however, it doesn’t get half as much hate as Discipline receives. I think that is because Janet abandoned that album for reasons we’re all aware of by now. Still, ‘Luv’ and ‘Feedback’ was perfection. I love that you love the bathroom break! LOL.

      • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 11, 2013

        Janet’s “DIRTIEST” songs (Top 5):

        1) Bathroom Break
        2) Would You Mind
        3) Sexhibition
        4) Moist
        5) Warmth
        6) Curtians
        7) Rope Burn

        Haha. 😉

      The Miley stan is handing out seats for Janet. Hmmm *Does a quick fact check* … Miley has 5 Hits! Her biggest is Party in The U.S.A … I won’t say anymore, your adorable! Get a fav that’s more deserving and insert that person’s name next time before you make comments like this! Pretend to be a Mimi, Madonna or Whitney stan and we’ll talk more. Get better!

    • Loyalty June 11, 2013

      Just stop. Have some respect for the people that paved the way for Beyonce instead of calling everything a flop. Why are you always so petty on other peoples posts. Stop embarrassing the Hive.

    • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 11, 2013

      You’re NOT a true Beyonce stan…

      Bey. ADMIRES/IDOLIZES Janet and once stated in an interview that she always strived to ‘command’ a stage/audience the way Janet [and Tina.T] does.

    • RoyalKev June 11, 2013

      You’re doing a looooot! As a Hive member I definitely don’t condone this. I don’t force people to like my favs, but I have to add my two cents when people disrespect them! If anyone has nothing to prove, its Janet!

    • BLACKDOLL INC July 26, 2013

      Do your research before you start trying to play someone who paved the way for Beyonce. 20 Y.O went to #2, DamitaJo went to #2, Discipline entered the charts at #1. Janet is in a league by herself and is definitely the Icon Queen Diva. Beyonce is a diva, but for her generation. Get it right.

  26. Shauwndapooh June 11, 2013

    Yes miss jackson first toni b. now janet albums im going to actually buy 😉

  27. rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. June 11, 2013

    She can forget about america. She should just aim for Europe, cos the white GP of america will NEVER LET A JACKSON WIN AGAIN. I think WHITE AMERICA has always been jealous of the jackson, and they were determined to shut them down, not to mention the jackson fell into the trap.

    SHE WILL NEVER be forgiven for that superbowl thing and then came the whole paris jackson beating thing. No doubt Paris will run her mouth about how Janet is this and that. SHE and her family are hated by white AMERICA – They always were, they just were waiting for a chance to take them out and now they have.

    Good luck J, you will need it.

    • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 11, 2013

      What on earth are you talking you about?

      I don’t want to get political, but I’m WHITE and adore Janet Jackson and know of many others who do too.

      So…

      But, then again, the media have sort out to, both, ‘subliminally and out-right’ destory the Jackson family’s reputation for DECADES. I will give you that.

      • rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. June 11, 2013

        Are you an American? Cos out here, we do not do that kumbaya – liberal – EURO – see – no – color – BS. IN THE USA, when a black person gets their n**** wake up call – IT STINGS!

        SHE GOT HER N**** WAKE UP CALL. Quite frankly, I do not see this new generation of white kids rushing to cop her s***. She was banned from MTV and the white did not cop her LP, she was kept alive by her loyal african american fans.

        Like I said, the jackson family are done in the USA. Now with Paris……………..

  28. Desperation June 11, 2013

    I see 2 queens are still on tgj catfishing and still haven’t posted their proof pics.

  29. DOSSOME June 11, 2013

    Allow me clarify this to the ignorant…RHYTHM NATION WORLD TOUR grossed $65million in 1991,that’s $200 million calculated against 2008’s average ticket price…in short $1 in 1991 is worth more than $3 in 2008…keep that in mind everytime you feel like coming for Janet’s tour revenues.

    • HIGHWAY UNICORN June 11, 2013

      LMAO.

      F*** what H** did 25 years ago…

      B****, it’s 2013… Janet may be an ICON, yes… I’ll give you that… But her time is up.

      She will flop this time round.

      Her last tour – was done in theatres.

      Really.

      Hell, Madonna is slaying at 54. Janet will NEVER have two tours in the top 10 like Madge or QUEEN GAGA.

      FLOP.

      • London June 14, 2013

        Madonna is trashy in my opinion. She does not have any talent at all. Janet is at least talented and Madonna would struggle to keep up with Janet on stage if they were to perform together. Gaga got her own thing going on but I saw her on performance on X factor 2009 alongside Janets. When it came down to it , Janets performance was far more superior. Janet is iconic and I think she has done really well since the superbowl fiasco as she has had potential hits that did not get radio play like some of the crap I hear today. She must be relevant in 2013 to you if you are taking the time to comment on her.

      • isaiah ogua August 24, 2013

        dum ass she ruled the 90’s and will take over again it’s in her blood to be great madonna no one likes her that b**** is my grandmothers age shes mean evil and doesn’t care about people just her self michael jackson even said that look up the video who names a tour sticky and sweet that s*** hore every name in the book shes not talented she got famous cause she freaked everyone in showbiz .Now GAGA is wonderful and said her self janet has inspired her a great deal so has britney ciara they all give janet her props and all said they would love to work with janet . i don’t see anyone giving shout outs to the middle age h** by the way the recent tour was named up close and personal u cant get that in a arena plus janet’s a billionare and doesn’t need arenas for money like madonna janet has always been over madonna ever since controll in 1986 at the age of 18 when madonna was 26 trust and now janet will produce another #1 record and make the highest earnings of 2014 and will be on every radio station while madonna’s watchin her grandbabies .

    • isaiah ogua August 24, 2013

      So by your logic (if an artists latest album sold around 3mill worldwide then their career is dead), your fav never even had a career to begin with?

      And that creature in your AVI . . . 🙄

      You need seek mental help ASAP!

  34. Lovebird June 11, 2013

    Jared, you’re killing me with these new avi’s.

    • Desperation June 11, 2013

      That’s a catfish

    So how come Samantha didn’t post the tea about Rihanna being the youngest act to headline and fully sell out Millennium stadium in Cardiff, Wales?

      I cannot . . .

  37. Desperation June 11, 2013

    @Jared since you’re the only one of the 2 catfish who is changing avatars.

    Make an new gravi with you biting the right thumb on your right hand along with your left hand thumb touching your left eyebrow while your right eye is closed.

    if you’re not a catfish that shouldn’t be too difficult.

    • King B>Rihanna June 11, 2013

      your not going to let go? lol!

      • Desperation June 11, 2013

        Nope. I don’t like when people steal others pictures it has happened to me.

        if these pics are them, it wouldn’t be this hard for them to post proof pics.

      • King B>Rihanna June 11, 2013

        i wonder what you look like and how can anyone be sure you are not a troll or catfish yourself.

      • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 11, 2013

        @King B…

        I don’t even know why you’re bothering?

        He could easily ‘copy’ both mine and Pop Royalty’s, including Likica’s, image URL and ‘paste’ the link into Google images for further proof of finding out whether the pictures belong to us.

        I honestly do not have time.

      • Desperation June 11, 2013

        @jared you tried that yesterday catfish. can’t google search matches from a gravatar.

        you seem to have the time to change gravatars which is why the request was made with picture format you’re most comfortable in updating.

        what was requested wouldn’t be at all difficult or inconveniencing if you have nothing to hide.

      • POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) June 11, 2013

        she just can’t deal how we look good and post comments in blogs, i think we should look miserable for her to like us.

        anyhow , I know that is mine 100% and if you don’t believe it then it is your own problem , and look at her , she doesn’t even have a pic of herself.

        and how you gonna call someone “catfish” without legitimate proof ?
        and you want proof pics ? why exactly ? why i will do all that ? to get your approval ? GTFOH.

        i had revealed my face before and now this is my body , i think that is enough revealing for complete strangers in a blog.

      • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 11, 2013

        @Pop Royalty…

        Exactly Dude.

        @Desperation.

        L.M.F.A.O

        You are absolutely hilarious.

        What exactly would myself, @Pop and @Likica have to hide?

        Please… Stop being a troglodite.

        I have granted you with several options/alternatives into ‘test-proofing’ whether or not these pictures are mine and otherwise. It is up to you whether or not you decide to forth with it.

        BYE.

      • Desperation June 11, 2013

        @King B yes I must be the one catfishing with a premade gravi of a green triangle with eyes. :/

      • Desperation June 11, 2013

        @Pop Royalty Im sorry you’re offended but as of this point I don’t believe the picture is you.

        If as you said you have been so savvy when it comes to posting pictures on a “stranger” blog it would take nothing to post simple proof pic.

        I gave you the format, its a very easy thing to do. Yet neither you or @ Jared seem capable.

        Is it possibly because both of you are catfishing? That might be a possiblity yes

    • Likica June 11, 2013

      Leave JARED/POP alone because they are not ashamed to show their real faces. Where’s your avi? Get a life hater!

      • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 11, 2013

        @Likica

        She also doesn’t believe that your picture is real…

        According to yesterday’s post.

        Oh man…

        And exactly, where is his picture?

        *Rolls Eyes*

      • Likica June 11, 2013

        And his/her/its opinion matters why?

        Let the haters hate, that’s the only thing they are good at.

        That person can’t handle your hotness, that’s why he/she/it is stalking your posts xD

      • Desperation June 11, 2013

        I never said anything about a Likicia I dont even know who this person is.

        I know you and @ Pop as of this point are 150% catfish though.

      • Desperation June 11, 2013

        @Lickica I don’t begrudge anyone’s looks. If the person in the pictures are indeed @Jared he is a decent looking guy.

        Though with him not able to fulfill that extremely simple request in his preferred gravatar form I’m having serious doubts as to him being who he says he is.

      • Bow Down June 11, 2013

        That b**** lickia is a instigator she loves causing drama the nosey b**** needs to mind her business

      • JARED (WHITE DUDE) June 11, 2013

        So… @Desperation

        You admit that you like both mine and @Pop’s pictures but you don’t believe that it is us.

        L.M.A.O

        I had a feeling that using “real” pictures would have it’s negatives, case in point: yourself.

        But, I could care less what you think because I know it’s me and we’ve offered you with solutions in finding out so.

        Next >>>

      • Desperation June 11, 2013

        @Jared I said the picture of is of a decent looking man. In no way am I fawning over the individual in your gravatar.

        You keep repeating you have provided solutions that have been disproved as solutions.

        You haven’t proved a thing. Other than being ultra defensive over the issue of proving yourself real.

        I find it interesting that you are updating the gravatar yet when simply asked to do so once again following simple guidelines you can’t.

        You may not be a catfish, but you sure are acting like one.

      • DR FENTY June 11, 2013

        @JARED…

        Yes. Slay the B**** with intelligence.

        @POP/LIKICA…

        Please ignore this crazy B****…

        I mean, is SHE serious right now? She’s actually stalking your asses, on a blog, over pictures in an avatar.

        LOL.

        >>>

      • Desperation June 11, 2013

        @Dr Fenty yes I am serious, in no way crazy and no one is being stalked, well other than the individuals who pics may have been abducted.

        I only wish @Jared and @Pop would choose to “slay” me with some their simple proof pics.

      • POP ROYALTY (Bohemian Grove) June 11, 2013

        so Now you called me a “catfish” ?! Over an Avi ? and i did nothing to anyone in here ?

        why i should care about the opinion of a stranger ? like give me on Valid convincing reason to do what you want.

        as @jared said , i knew posting a real pic as my avi will be a problem to some , but till you find that “reason” i told you to give me , i will remain “unbothered” .

        and you are not even aTGJ regular to do what you say.

      • Desperation June 11, 2013

        @Pop Royalty yes I am leaning towards you and @Jared being catfish at this point.

        You remain adamant that your real pictures are on display. Nothing at all was outlandish about the request to prove yourselves real. However these simple request have proved extremely difficult to do.

        Further both you and @Jared seem to prefer to exert extreme amounts of energy being defensive in posts rather than simply shut me down with a proof pic that would take seconds.

        This further leads me to think you both are catfishing.

  38. rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. June 11, 2013

    Janet was never all that, if was not her being MJ sister, she would of been a jody watley, / karen white. Rih is better and more iconic.

    Her beauty? Courtesy of plastic surgeon – face and body.

    Her voice – weak and winey

    Her artistry , creativity, videos and vision – all from her ex hubby, Rene Elinzondo

    Her music – Jimmy Jam and terry lewis

    Her dance – Tina Landon

    Her legacy – MJ sister.

    Rih is better.

      Oh please, there are many of the Jackson’s who tried the music thing and failed. Janet is talented and she would still be iconic without Michael’s help.

    • Likica June 11, 2013

      I like Riri but that’s a lie, Janet is a legend and all pop girls have to work so hard to reach her status. Madonna, Celine, Mariah, Whitney and Janet are top 5 legendary women in music industry.

    • Drew June 11, 2013

      LMFAO the most deluded person on TGJ. This comment just made it all the more prevalent.

    • Huh? June 12, 2013

      Janet composes, Janet choreographs, Michael didn’t help and Michael has other family members. Renee didn’t direct most of her videos. She’s a natural beauty. Janet looks the same since the 80s. Janet exercises and has muscles, no plastic surgeon can do that. Rihanna doesn’t do and CAN’T do what Janet can do.

    • London June 14, 2013

      U might have a point if Janet’s brothers and sisters were famous for their music also – they have also tried to pursue a music career and failed even though they are related to MJ. Janet has always been one step ahead in her music videos Jody watley, karen white dance videos were no way as good as Janets. , she has influenced alot of todays female artists I like Riri but please don’t put her on the level of an icon you obviously have not studied all of Janet’s work.

      Her beauty- Minus a nose job she looks the same to me just like Penny in good times she was always beautiful even before the surgery.

      Voice- Janet has a distinctive voice may not be the strongest but her voice is melodic and she does ballads, dance music , rock and pop music really well . 100 million people would not buy your music if you can not sing.

      Her artistry – Renee was not responsible for her creativity as she has always had an input in her own music, videos etc. The Velvet Rope was one of her master pieces and Renee was not around for that.

      Her Dance – Most artists have a choreographer Tina is just one of them. One of Janet’s most iconic dance video in my opinion is Pleasure Principle. I know Tina Landon did not choreographer that one you can not teach someone to dance.

      Her Legacy – Janet is an icon in her own right!!! Even if MJ were not her brother she would have still make it. There were no other female artists doing good music videos like she does. Janet is infact the blue print of other females including, Britney, Ciara, Riri , Beyonce etc. They have all paid respect to Janet in one way or another fellow artists would not do that if you did not inspire them in one way or another.

      There is enough room for every one. Riri is good but Janet has been there and done what Riri doing already. I enjoy all music and respect artists if they are talented.

  43. MyPenIzFresh June 11, 2013

    thinking about what Sam said, has put some perspective to things. Every Pop diva has her IT time. I think for people to be unaware of Janet is shocking, but it’s true. A lot of people don’t have respect for Janet, and Mariah.. because they are not of their generation. It’s a shame, considering the groundwork they have put down for the up and coming girls, as well as the ones that are established now.

  44. RiRi Bad June 11, 2013

    Her music is about her so that’s her writing! Rene didn’t work on ALL of her videos, so pull that out of your ass! He didn’t even work on most of them! Janet is beautiful and has always been beautiful! Even when she was chunky , she was considered a beauty! Her body? Well, her muscles prove it all!! That sixpack, tightened arms, etc… CAN’T cone from a plastic surgeon snd we all know that her booty is God-given. ALL of Janet’s choreographers said that she co-choreographs, it’s her choreography too! Jimmy and Terry said that Janet actually does help compose her work!!! The reason why Janet is so special is that SHE was the one that chose The Time and they help create a new sound for her! And her dancing was full length and intricate! You like RIHANNA?! She doesn’t do ANY of the s*** that Janet does! Oh yeah..

  64. huh? June 11, 2013

    Janet writes. Rene didn’t work on most of her vids. ALL of her choreographers said that she co-choreographs! Janet was whooping MJ’s booty in the 90’s and 2000’s. Janet has muscles and that’s something you can’t get from a surgeon. Janet still looks the same as she did in the 80’s, her nose has only changed. Jimmy and Terry said she composes and that her albums wouldn’t be great w/o having MOST of her input! Rihanna doesn’t and CAN’T do any of the things that Janet can do.

    • Mark111 June 11, 2013

      I thought I was the only one who thought that not only did Janet out lasted MJ career wise, but she could out dance him too (imo). Look at scream. I know people are gonna grill me, but I always thought that Janet had better moves, but Mike’s were more magical.

      • Huh? June 12, 2013

        She could out dance him, Michael was the better dancer though. Janet’s choreography smashed. Michael had his signature moves that were great, but they really haven’t changed. Janet flipped the script on us. They’re also different in concert. Michael didn’t do long extensive choreography, but Janet did.

    lot of misinformation here….Janet was here before, Beyonce, pink, alliyah, destiny’s child, usher etc. look at their performances, they ALL have Janet written all over it….Hell, Usher was her opening act! She has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and is classified as the 10th most successful female act. Lots of artists have some type of record breaking records but Janet has a lot of records unbreakable still today!!
    Just for some examples…..
    1. Rythem Nation still holds the record for most successful debut tour.
    2.Rythem Nation is the only album to have 7 top 5 singles.
    3. She is the first female artist to debut an album at number one.
    4.She is the only artist to have number one hits from the same album in three seperate decades!!!
    5.Guiness book of world recorcds…2…one for most searched person on the internet and longest medley mix…over 3 hours!!
    6.She has 35, yes! 35 number one singles on the music charts.
    Most expensive video ever made, “Scream” $7 million. The video was her concept alone!
