Pop icon Janet Jackson is taking her upcoming US jaunt very seriously.
As widely reported, the diva will embark on the American leg of her ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ next month and is playing no games with her preparation regime.
The fierce 49-year-old was recently snapped posing with vocal coach Ron Anderson, who captioned the snap “one amazing woman!”
Jackson is also gearing up to release her 11th studio album later this year via her own label Rhythm Nation Records. Lead single ‘No Sleeep’ has thus far peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs tally and #67 on the Hot 100.
Producer Deputy is etching both his name and sound into the minds of the masses – thanks largely to the commercial and Pop cultural success of Rihanna‘s ‘Bitch Better Have My Money.’
Together with songwriter Bibi, the Roc Nation talent crafted the hit on everyone’s lips – and is gearing up to bake even more blazing numbers for RiRi.
Speaking to That Grape Juice while in London recently, the rising star relived his journey and revealed that he’s also worked on new music for Beyonce and Alicia Keys.
Janet Jackson‘s ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ is proving to be a major success – one month before its first show.
The superstar diva formally announced the global trek last month, releasing an initial run of US dates. With said shows selling at a rapid rate, fans of the Grammy winner are set to get ‘No Sleeep,’ as Live Nation have officially revealed a second American leg – which adds 27 dates to the 30+ already announced.
Tickets go on general sale on July 20th. Like the first set of shows, supporters can purchase early by pre-ordering the 49-year-old’s hotly anticipated new album (due later this year on Rhythm Nation Records / BMG)

This week’s From The Vault pick goes out to Pop titan Madonna and her hauntingly poignant music video for underrated gem, ‘Bad Girl.’
Released in 1993 as the third single from M’s controversial ‘Erotica‘ LP, ‘Girl’ lyrically tells the tale of a woman’s reckless behaviour after an intense break-up. It was produced and written by the artist herself as well as her go-to-guy at the time Shep Pettibone.
Rolled out during a window when Madonna was making headlines for her overtly-sexual image – the ‘Sex‘ book, anyone ? – the track wasn’t as successful as its predecessors like ‘Like a Prayer’ or‘Justify My Love’ but still managed to peak at a respectable #36 on the Hot 100 and occupy the ultimate position of the UK Top 10… not bad for an artist going through a media backlash.
The most unfortunate thing about the single’s moderate performance is that its accompanying video seems to be forgotten despite being – if you ask us – one of the entertainer’s finest visual offerings.
Helmed by David Fincher – whom had previously collaborated with Madge on videos such as ‘Express Yourself’ and ‘Vogue’ – it stays true to the song’s lyrical content and presents the Material Girl as a chain-smoking, moody female-executive who drowns her sorrow in alcohol, cigarettes and one-night-stands.
With Fincher on board, it was a given the cinematography would deliver, indeed the visual, which feels like a short film, exudes an air of retro-glam and the art-deco architecture of the city of New-York where it was shot gives it a dark and dramatic edge.
At many times Madonna has proven that when the world beats you down, you get back up… and keep on releasing amazing material. This is one of the many reasons she can still make headlines in 2015. Though we long for a time where she would go back to music and visuals of such quality, we can’t knock her hustle and commend her dedication to the entertainment industry.
