Confirmed: Janet Jackson Readies New Album

Janet Jackson is back!

Six years after the release of her last LP ‘Discipline’, the ‘Escapade’ singer has commenced work on its hotly anticipated follow-up.

Teased by sources close to her creative camp for months, today saw its existence confirmed by her longtime engineer in a new interview published today.

Last week, viewers of the YouTube channel ‘Ballroom Throwbacks’ were teased with Janet’s comeback album when its producer interviewed choreographer Danielle Polanco, who looked on as one of the channel’s staples hinted at the icon’s comeback.

Then this week, an interview given by Ian Cross– Jackson’s longtime collaborator- revealed the news the singer’s legion’s of fans have been praying (and fasting) for:

Ian Cross is currently working exclusively with Janet Jackson on her forthcoming much anticipated album, her first since “Discipline” (2008).  To accommodate Jackson’s touring and recording all over the world, Cross has devised a powerful portable recording setup with Barefoot Sound MM27 monitors to assure sonic consistency wherever they choose to work.

“The new album is going to be great. It’s a process. There’s a lot in store, yet to come. I can’t go into too many details but I think Janet Jackson’s fans are going to be very excited about the new album, and I think people who don’t know her as fans are going to be excited about it, too. The new paradigm of music, the real people in music now, are blending technology and music together. It’s becoming more and more seamless.”  Source.

Sources close to That Grape Juice tell us that the entertainer will release the record via a major label, and recently recorded original material in Atlanta, Georgia.

      • SMH July 31, 2014

        You mean in reality, hon. Janet shiits on Madonna on ALL levels.

      • LetsBeReal July 31, 2014

        Janet may not have sold as many record but she is a better talent. She sings better, dances better, and has better music. Madonna is the queen of exposure though, and that is why she sold more. She kept herself out there more. If you ask many of the entertainers of today who they looked up to, MANY will mention Janet. The ones who mentions Madonna, also mentions Janet.

  8. RICHIE_RICH July 31, 2014

    Yesss My baby is coming back. She is the real Queen of the 80’s and 90’s.

    • Stop It July 31, 2014

      Queen of the 80s: Whitney Houston

      90s: Mariah Carey

      Numbers, and acclaim don’t lie

      • RICHIE_RICH July 31, 2014

        She was my Queen. Janet will slay Whitney and Mariah on any stage, but they will sing circles around her. Then came my current Queen that can’t do both sing and dance at the same damn time. She has many that’s she lip and many more live.

      • RICHIE_RICH July 31, 2014

        Can damn iPad

      • Sean July 31, 2014

        Remove the payola from Mariah, and what’s left?

        Not sure.

        But I DO know that Janet released TWO studio albums during the 90s and was ranked 2nd on the decade.

        And Mariah released 7. And that’s not including her greatest hits collection and MTV unplugged.

        There’s no comparison in my book.

  12. S****** Blonde July 31, 2014

    This should be interesting, what direction will she take musically?, how will she promote the record?, this is very exciting news, i’m always curious about what plans these Divas from the past have in mind to stay current with the new generation, very, very curious about it, the first comment though, expected but still wonder why?

    • Stephy July 31, 2014

  19. IStanForYourFav July 31, 2014

    This is exciting. I’ve been to three Janet tours. One in 2002 (I was 11 then), 2008 Rock Wit U, and 2011 Number Ones (most intimate imo), and she has definitely has a spot in my heart. I’m so excited to see what she will whip up for us.
    _____
    I sometimes wish I was 30+ so I could have witnessed the 90’s divas at their prime. They should all plot a major relaunch of the late 80/90’s at one time. It would be epic!

  20. BaddieBey July 31, 2014

    Beyonce slayed her in 2006 and she’ll do it again today!

  25. Sass July 31, 2014

    My body is ready!

  26. Logistics July 31, 2014

    No one cares,I swear queens are always hyping up a has-been just to see them tumble and not have their record brought. I remember reading how she was going to SLAY everybody in 2008 and we see what happened there. Stadiums to standing only venues,#1 album but tumbles after a week or so.If you honestly think that Janet is going to slay anything than you’re a bias unrealistic sheep. It’s been 6 whole years and aside from the tyler perry movies,musically she has been dormant. Janet will flop,her tour if it’s standing room only/ball rooms will do ok,the end…

  34. JOHNVIDAL July 31, 2014

    Great! Respect for Janet.
    But why didn´t Sam write an essay about how hard it´s going to be for Janet to be successful? Or some tipe of shade? Hmm oh yeah Janet is one of his faves and other real megastars, even bigger than her, are the ones who need to be lectured all the time… LOL

    When the universe makes it all right ….
    Be scaaaaared!
    … I feel Damita’s hunger!

  41. sharon stone July 31, 2014

    The bottom line is Janet will make more money of this project then you will make in the next ten years. I will bet you on that and furthermore why do folk always seem to have A.D.D. this article was about Janet and not Beyonce, Maddona or Rihanna. You can always tell immature queens who have no life and live through their favorite music artist by the content of their post. smh at some of these people either way she got her fans and more money then YOU will EVER have. when was your last tour?

  42. creep July 31, 2014

    Even if she is not a powerful vocalist, she know use her voice with harmonies, arrangement. Plus, she is the popstar which has the most consistent discography. she has 4 classics which have strong concept, strong lyrocs, innovative sounds, choreography, video.
    she influences the whole new generation of singers.she paved the way.

    I know her last albums are not very good but I still hope the next one will be awesome. Anyways, that’s change nothing of her impact in pop music and on pop female artist.

  43. Ta’Nia Turner July 31, 2014

    I will Most definitely by her new album and see her in concert I’ve been a fan since we both were 16 I life always had so much similarities down to marrying at 19 and wanting to take control of mmy life and much more! I look forward to it soon I do so much helping young Women I would love to bring girls from my community to experience seeing real confidence and they can accomplish their dreams as well!!

    • Ta’Nia Turner July 31, 2014

      I would love to buy Janet’s new album and having the joy of seeing her in concert again. I would also bring the young girls and ladies I have helped experience more confidence by seeing they can as well accomplish their goals by following their dreams!

  44. Amanda July 31, 2014

    Janet’s finally coming back, thank God!!! 😀
    I was about to lose it with all that s***** s*** s*** that’s currently out right now! The game desperately needs Janet!!!
