Since Janet Jackson‘s initial return to the spotlight with 2015’s ‘Unbreakable,’ the superstar singer has let her epic performances do the talking.

Indeed, she’s steered away from interviews and poured her all into touring. An approach that proved especially beneficial following a high-profile split from her husband.

However, with the drama in rearview and new single ‘Made For Now’ in the marketplace (nearing 30 million views), Ms. Jackson is strutting the promo run.

Her latest stop was Radio 103.9 in New York and it made for an insightful watch.

During the candid chat, the 52 year old discussed her upcoming project (which she says may manifest in the form of an EP or full fledged album this Fall), collaborations with Ciara and Bruno Mars, and discovering that she was pregnant on her birthday.

Despite every attempt to avoid the fate, the set was defeated by fellow rapper Travis Scott‘s ‘Astroworld’ for a debut reign atop the Billboard 200 (click here to read).  However, the moves – as new reports indicate – were not done completely in vain as they have collectively helped boost ‘Queen’ past the Gold threshold just two weeks after its premiere on the album charts.
