Confirmed: New Janet Album Early 2010

Published: Tuesday 4th Aug 2009 by Sam

After a brief hiatus from the music scene, a period which saw the untimely passing of her brother Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson is prepping her return to the charts. The re-launch of her official website late last night brought news on her latest projects:

Later this year, Janet will publish her first book, providing an intimate look at her life and how she has dealt with issues of self-esteem. Janet will reveal aspects not known before about her uniquely successful career not only in music but in television and motion pictures.
The next months and new year will also bring another film starring Janet as she joins Tyler Perry in his sequel, Why Did I Get Married Too, followed by a new album slated to released during the first quarter of 2010. {Source}

I personally can’t wait for this. I’m genuinely excited about the steady roll-out of news surrounding the record i.e. her new label, producers, title, and all that good stuff. For as tragic and hard to deal with Michael’s passing has been for me and millions around the world, I’m hoping that one of the positives that will come out of it all is the notion that we need to appreciate what we have, while it’s here.

While Janet’s last few album’s haven’t been masterpieces, the music was still very good (particularly ‘Damita Jo’, ‘Feedback’), as well as chartable. Still, they were slept on for silly political reasons. Arguably one of the greatest performers still alive today, Janet remains a force on the stage. Should she hold up her end of the bargain and deliver a solid album, my only hope is that the industry welcomes it and her in the way they should. More power to Ms. Jackson!
