Janet Jackson has confirmed that she is currently working on album 12 and the follow-up to 2015's (absolutely brilliant) 'Unbreakable'.

QUOTE
I wish I could. I’m not trying to avoid the question and be secretive, but the truth is that I don’t try to analyze the creative process while it’s still ongoing. I’m very intuitive about writing. Anything can inspire me. This morning, I saw this lovely elderly Japanese woman walking down the streets of Hollywood wearing an adorable bonnet with bright red flowers. She might be a song. I remembered an especially painful chapter in my early life last night before going to bed. That might be a song. I woke up this morning and heard a bird chirping in a rhythm that captivated my heart. Maybe that will turn into a new groove. Like everyone else, my feelings are fluid. My ideas are fleeting. I like to keep it that way. I can’t decide in advance what a song or an album concept will be. I have to let those songs and concepts come to me rather than chase them down.

I suspect the album will deal with motherhood and the changes it has had on her. I am so excited, she rarely ever disappoints. heart.gif

I'm so incredibly excited for tonight's performance! Her first televised performance in 9 years. ohmy.gif heart.gif

Bring on the album. wub.gif Unbreakable was solid and deserved far more attention than it received.

Unbreakable itself, No Sleep, Damn Baby, Take Me Away would be my picks. The album works quite well as a whole too tho.

Definitely works best as a full album, I agree. My favourites though: BurnItUp!, Dammm Baby, Night, Shoulda Known Better, No Sleeep.

The first single from this is called "Made for Now" and features Daddy Yankee. They shot the video together in New York last weekend so we should be hearing an announcement soon.

loved Janet throughout the 80's and 90's, right up to 2001, bought most stuff, but she went off the boil for me when she cancelled her post Uk London bomb blast tour and didn't feel too much in a hurry to return. I don't think her career recovered from it, so hoping this is a bonafide revival of love....
