She's Coming! Janet Jackson Confirms She is Releasing New Music This Year

Janet Jackson may have just celebrated her milestone 60th birthday, but it is she who is planning the ultimate gift for her legion of loyal fans.

For, the legend has revealed exciting plans for new music. And sooner than folk may think.

Full story below…

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer sat down with Billboard Japan ahead of her run of shows in the region next month.

During the candid sit-down, Ms Jackson revealed that she has new music on the way.

Opening up, she shared:

“I’ve been promising new music for a very, very, very, very, very long time, And I’ve been in the studio, even as of this year, still recording, creating music. I guess I’m a perfectionist. It’s not that it’ll ever be perfect, but when I finish something, then I think, ‘oh, it’s not quite where I want it to be (yet), then I’ll move on to the next or do more.”

Continuing, she added:

“But I plan to present it to you, my fans, this year.”

Hear it from her lips below.

The diva last dropped an album over a decade ago with 2015’s chart-topping ‘Unbreakable.’

A follow-up, ‘Black Diamond,’ was announced and slated for 2020, but the global health crisis saw those plans change.

Now, it looks like the megastar is gearing up to hit ‘play.’ And we’re all sorts of ready!

      I 100% agree.

      The way I feel about this 2020 year old news, is how her ugly, ill fitting and tacky tour outfits look. Period.
      Bring the music…
      Get a new stylist.

    I agree with you @TonyToka. Not to be as nasty about it as @bumbaclot, though. I will just be enjoying the slice of life reels and other stuff and not holding my breath for the music. Like I’m excited about the Japan tour leg…
