Pop icon Janet Jackson has had the music industry abuzz in recent weeks following confirmation of her new album and world tour.
Like most things Janet, the rousing reveal held back on further details – namely which label the diva would be releasing her fresh material on. [Jackson left Def Jam in 2010 due to creative differences]
The speculation needn’t continue now, though, for Billboard have confirmed the 49-year-old’s new recording home.
Full story below…
Per BB, Jackson’s next offering will be released via BMG.
By and large, the company is most renown for its operations in music rights management and artist songwriting. BMG’s label business tends to see them act mainly as a distributor for acts with their own labels [See: Estelle].
Which begs the question: is Janet starting her own imprint and partnering with BMG solely as a distributor? Time will tell.
What we can say is that we hear Ms. Jackson is set to roll out her next project in a manner different to the usual.
Exciting times!
