Fans of ‘Trust a Try’ singer Janet Jackson have been given good reason to believe they’ll be receiving a new album from the star this summer today!
For, after talk of her new album began to heat up last winter, the star will learn that one of her fans made quite the discovery during a recent shopping trip.
What they found?
Our two cents below…
Let’s hope this is one rumour that turns out to be false.
For, with no real way of telling how many album-buying fans Janet has left, I’d say a surprise released would be the safest way to avoid commercial misfortune once the album drops.
As Beyonce proved with her latest effort, the pressures of ensuring success on the Hot 100 can be avoided completely if one decides to sell their music as a complete body of work and not as a singles-led project.
A July 7th release date may see Janet forced to promote the album with a comeback single in the coming weeks but may see hype for its supporting project dwindle if the bop doesn’t blast Billboard once it drops (see ‘Applause’.)
The pandemonium surrounding a same day release for a new single, album and video would see the icon win on a streaming front at the very least, helping to hand her commendable first week chart positions even if their pure sales aren’t as impressive.
Fortunately and unfortunately, the above will never happen. For, the singer’s fans have confirmed that the album is available to pre-order from the ‘FYE’ outlet who have revealed the release will drop on July 10th.
We can’t wait to hear it!
