SHE'S BACK. New music and world tour announced.

Been patiently waiting for this. Welcome back "Hanet"!! (copyright: Lee Wallace)
Bal and I are ready for the tour 😭🐸
Shaking. Crying.
Please Janet come back hard
Can't wait for this. Been far too long!
OMG YAAAASSS
So excited! She always brings it, and it's been far too long. About time <3
Cannot wait for this! I listened to Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 last night in honor of the announcement and it's amazing how relevant the album still is both lyrically and musically.
Rhythm Nation 2.0 would actually be amazing and be so so relevant in this day and age, as you say. The issues covered throughout the album have come right back into R&B and hip hop music given the current racial climate.
A Janet/Kendrick collaboration would be groundbreaking, please let it happen. He stans enough to sample her as well...
Only very recently delved into her music, but Rhythm Nation is utterly brilliant.
Control, janet., Rhythm Nation 1814 and The Velvet Rope are all just iconic really, anything remotely like those will be a winner.
Black Cat, What Have You Done For Me Lately, All For You, Feedback, Nothing Really Matters, Nasty, If and Together Again are her greatest singles for me but there's SO much amazing stuff in her back catalogue. GAH so excited for this <3
So glad to see Janet's incredible back catalogue getting so much love since this announcement. 1Xtra even played every single Janet UK Top 40 hit yesterday to celebrate, BBC recognising a forgotten icon.
Also they said that there is some announcement coming on May 28th. With the rumoured release date of the album being as close as July, think it would be the perfect time for a single to drop or at least have it announced.
'Rhythm Nation 1814' could be released today and still have the same strong message and impact it did all those years ago. 'The Velvet Rope' is my favourite album from her but so many are so so strong. I am excited to see what musical direction she is heading in now, especially with such a big gap between the last release! I need another 'Together Again' beauty <3 Commercial success or not, i am just thankful we are getting more music. What a woman.
I always forget how much I love Janet until I go back to explore her back catalogue.
I even love her more guilty pleasure songs like Make Me, Feedback and Just A Little While.
Ha return. Ha comeback. Ha relevancy after all these years.
Yes!!!! she's been badly missed welcome back Miss Jackson!!!
Apparently we will be hearing the lead single sometime in the next 30 days, so getting a June release. So glad it's not a long wait.
'No Sl333p'
'Go Deep' part 2 'The Velvet Rope' revisited!?
'Go Deep' is one of my favourite Janet tracks ever so anything along those lines I would die for.
Go Deep part 2?! I AM NOT READY.
The single is called No Sleep cover

A snippet of 'No Sleep'! - http://artistcamp.rebeat.com/store/janet-jackson/no-sleep/9008798186372/qmrsz1501149/track.mp3
She has drummed up big commotion for this record considering no-one was phased by her last two eras and Greatest Hit. Bar the tour obvs.
I like the slow jam vibe enough, but it's a bit underwhelming for a big comeback from a woman who's capable of what Janet is capable of.
It's nice in a "slip on your slippers and have a mug of cocoa" kind of way.
I adore this!!
This is plain lovely just mesmerizing, perfect sunday chillout track
Regina nailed it.
A nice buzz track.
This isn't quite the HUGE comeback i was anticipating but it's a lovely little song nonetheless.
Unfortunately I also have to admit to being a little disappointed by the track. I am glad she has come back with a slow jam as they are so signature to her and it shows she is not desperately trying to modernise or re-invent what she does so well already. It is just this one is a little too repetitive for me and is more background music than something to jam to. Still, I am ecstatic to hear her voice on something new, it is as soothing and gorgeous as ever.
Still expecting a lot from the album. Janet is capable of soooo much, hence why she is one of my all time favs.
I like this...a lot. Sounds like a Velvet rope track (still LOVE that album ) Could be THE reason I enjoy this tune? Especially as she tried too much with recent releases while this is the Janet I enjoy the most (classic, relaxed and '90 vibes all over).
Get me back on your team Janet! 9/10 for now
MASSIVE

The album version features J. Cole.
The song has clicked with me considerably over the past few weeks.
This is one of my favorite pop releases this year.
I'm a bit sick and tired of nice songs that dare to be a bit out there flopping and generic crap tunes reigning the charts, so it would be good if this could be somewhat of a hit.
Snippet of second single 'The Great Forever' is out now. Sounds great.
Album titled 'Unbreakable' and out in September supposedly?! Hope so.
Lots of anticipation for this. 'No Sleeep' is so understated and beautiful.
No Sleeep is yet to really hit me but I really like the sound of The Great Forever already <3

Nice, a duet with Missy Elliott!
I like 'No Sleep' and it has got me interested in the whole album. Hopefully no ballads though.
No sleeep was awful so not sure what this will be like. I like some of her older stuff though.
I hope the Missy duet is a stomper.
There's a thread in R&B already, I'll move it there so an R&B mod can merge them!
Yaaaassss this is so so perfect. Already way better than 'No Sleep' for me.
Can't wait for this now!
slay me janet
OMG.
'Night', 'Dammn Baby' and 'The Great Forever'
& I'm only half way through. I can't get over it.
I never thought I'd say this but I'm actually so glad in the long run that she took a 7 year gap to make this album, because it has done her the world of good. It seems like she has come back with real intent and purpose, with something new to say and completely fresh. After one listen, I can already call this her best album since 'The Velvet Rope' (which is in fact in my top 5 albums of all time). I always hoped she would come back with something of this quality but after the last few records, I wasn't sure if she still had it in her.
I mean, some of these songs are just incredible. 'Dammn Baby', 'The Great Forever', 'Night', 'Take Me Away', 'Black Eagle' and 'Gon' Be Alright' are all absolutely perfect and time will tell which can stand beside the Janet classics, but I have a feeling many of them will easily. There is not one bad song throughout this entire record. She certainly saved the real highlights until the album release date.
Have a feeling this could be in strong contention for my AOTY after the one listen. It's a good day to be a Janet stan
A fantastic return to form - this is a GREAT record
'The Great Forever' !
I concur, 'Unbreakable' is excellent! I'm pleasantly surprised.
The album is really fantastic. It's slightly jarring how much she sounds like Michael in some of the tracks though..
Album is incredible. She has lost precisely NONE of her special magic, sparkle and wonder.
This has to be my album of the year on first listen, I cannot believe she's come back this strong as much as I never doubted her Take Me Away, The Great Forever and especially BURNITUP would be my holy trinity but it's all just so good, classic Janet and I'd agree it's her strongest since The Velvet Rope which is no mean feat. Incredible <3
I love the album, her best since All for You.. There are not many completely stunning highlights (except No Sleeep which refuses to get old) but it's fantastically solid album.
yeah this album is absolutely amazing.
Hmmm. It doesn't seem to have enough interludes on it.
She's so irrelevant now.
This no way matches Nutty or All For You.
No but seriously I can't get over how much she sounds like Michael. I can't believe nobody's mentioned it. I know that as you get older your voice can deepen but listening to her voice on say 'Together Again' and then 'BURNITUP', her voice is several octaves lower. I played it to my friend and asked who it was and she asked if it was one of the tracks from the Michael Jackson album released last year. It's blowing my mind!
This trumps her last two studio albums.
Purchased the album in HMV yesterday, it includes the two bonus tracks 'Promise of You' and 'Love U 4 Life'.

Here is the HQ cover of the Target / HMV version of the album, if anyone wants it:

Relevance has absolutely no correlation with quality, in music. Meghan is relevant - case in point.
The album is so slick, cool and strong. I'm on my second listen now.
Also, she's done little to no promo.
I think 'Take Me Away' is fast becoming THE album highlight. That guitar outro is a 20/10 alone
UK leg of tour next March/April

Got front row tickets for Manchester I can't deal.
Just bought tickets for the Glasgow dates! Not quite front row but reasonably near floor seats. Gonna go cry with happiness.
Her and Bey have always been the two I've wanted to see live for the longest. Gonna be such a dream
How are you already buying tickets??? Is there a fan presale?
They went on sale on Ticketmaster website literally as soon as it was announced at 4pm, just you have to buy the album also.
I got London tickets
Have to wait for the cd to arrive now .
Damn she's playing The O2 this time?
Does that mean the sales of the CD's (along with the tour tickets) will go towards the overall total of sales of the album for this week's chart? If so, that could be brilliant for sales. Hopefully the sales do in fact count.
I can't see them adding that much at a push is say today's tour on sale would have gave her what 350 album sales?
Why do you say that? They went up at 4pm, I booked mine at around 5:30 and the closest left was row M for the Glasgow date. I would imagine she has sold way more than 350 tickets between the four dates, and you couldn't buy tickets without having a CD included
They only put an allocation of tickets on today though just Ticketmasters and they don't get many these days the venues keep them to sell for themselves. I hope I'm completely wrong too btw.
Ah right okay, fair enough.
I was hoping it could give her a small boost. I just would love her to at least stay top 10.
I wish I'd known they went on sale straight away. Also you can opt out of buying the album in this pre sale.
GOT TICKETS FOR BIRMINGHAM. Thank you Jay you beauty <3 gonna go OFF on March 30th together :'')
Emotional one, much like Madonna later this year. Once in a lifetime opportunity perhaps, seeing as her last proper tour here was 1998!?
Didn't she tour Number #1s there?
Got tickets for O2 cannot wait, Janets an artist I always dreamed of going to see and never thought I'd get chance to bit like Madonna but going to be able to tick both off my list in the next 6 months
I was at Albert Hall. I just wondered if she toured outside of London? I'm glad you'll get to see her
Her album sales for her number 11 position are ?
7,517
Janet Jackson Earns Historic Seventh No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart
Janet Jackson debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with her new album, Unbreakable. It marks her seventh chart-topper and makes her just the third act to achieve No. 1 albums in each of the last four decades.
Unbreakable -- which was released on Oct. 2 -- arrives atop the chart with 116,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Oct. 8, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, the set sold 109,000 in pure album sales.
Amazing.
Dublin date announced for April 2
this album tho !
^ ;o
'Shoulda Known Better'
"I had this great epiphany
And Rhythm Nation was the dream
I guess next time I'll know better"
My heart just breaks. Favourite moment of the entire album I think :'(
I listened to this in full again today and while I've been enjoying it for weeks, today's listen let me fully take in how grand it all is. Such beautiful and poignant lyrics and messages throughout. The Jacksons have always been good with their global/huge messages and ideals but this could be the album that explores them most tenderly and without the cheese that often comes with such sentiments. Songs like 'Well Travelled', while she is singing about herself, are so global at the same time. It's a beautiful album through and through and I'm so grateful she made it and with such love and honesty too.
Would it be too premature to say it's my second favourite Janet album? (After 'The Velvet Rope' ofc which will never be touched)... we'll see in a year or so~
It really is a stunning record overall. (I can't wait for us to see her )
I hope there are plans to release more singles from this sensational album :'( 'Shoulda Known Better' in particular demands it!
I bet you won't be the only one in an emotional state (maybe I will be as well ).
The album era seems to have ground to a halt... BURNITUP!, Shoulda Known Better & Dammn Baby should all be singles. *.*
The reason she has postponed the tour is an apparent cancer scare.
That's awful. Sending all well wishes to her.
Oh no, I pray she's ok
This must be a nightmare for her
I have every faith she will come through stronger than ever & I will be able to see my idol in good time...
She's confirmed it's not cancer & Europe tour dates stand.
Thrilled!
Perfect news all round
Yep, the best news imaginable!
People are disgraceful for starting cancer rumours.
The tour is cancelled !!!
Heard this yesterday, absolutely livid, I had front row
so so gutted
janet and beyonce have always been the two I've dreamed of seeing live more than any other so having tickets for both was the most amazing thing for me. the email said it is postponed and they are refunding because they are not sure when it is being rescheduled to; I'm not really buying it. I have a feeling that the whole UK part of the tour will be scrapped completely.
I am totally devastated at this.
Very disappointed.
Gutted was looking forward to finally seeing her ;-( ... also annoyed cos I didnt attempt to get Adele tickets as it was either side and cant be travelling up and down to London that much so didnt bother although probably highly unlikely would of got
So she has revealed that the real reason the tour is cancelled is because "there has been a sudden change" that means her and her husband "are planning their family" and she is under "doctor's orders to rest up". The way she put it is slightly strange, not sure if she is already pregnant or is going through some alternative route?
If it is the former I am thrilled for her and it would be the best reason for the tour to be called off.
I'm not sure what it means either, pregnancy wise, but I am obviously backing her the whole way and pray she can start the family she wants. I'm over the delays now, I hope she does reschedule (and she is adamant that she will) but it will be years away and right now I just want the best for her personally.
As if anyone is surprised. She hasn't completed a single tour this side of the Millennium. 'Starting a family' or not, Janet just doesn't have the work ethic.
I know it's not impossible or unheard of, but is she not a bit too old to be pregnant? She's about to turn 50 and women tend to have more trouble getting pregnant
past 35-ish.
Did she cancel her Number Ones tour here? Guess I was lucky to catch her back in 2011?
'Dammm Baby' video coming soon
Added to some radio stations in the US and lyric video released. Won't do anything but finally something happening in terms of promoting this incredible record.
A decent video for an incredible song.
I'm still quite upset this is the only video / bit of promo (?) we've got thïis entire era. She's released one of the best albums of her entire career and hasn't been able to show it off to the world like it deserves. It has been fairly successful all things considered but it deserves so much more.
🙏❤
The song (Unbreakable) is total shite. But good to see her back. She needs to just drop that talking nonsense in her songs, just STFU and sing !!
Such relatable lyrics. A gorgeous tribute.
She has confirmed that she is pregnant! ❤❤
Janet has given birth to son Eissa Al Mana 💜💜💜💜💜
Janet Jackson to Get the Billboard Icon Award
NEW YORK — Janet Jackson's icon status is being confirmed at the Billboard Awards.
The superstar is set to get the Billboard Icon Award at the May 20 ceremony in Las Vegas, hosted by Kelly Clarkson. She'll also reward fans with a performance on the live telecast, her first televised performance in nine years.
I can't wait to see this! Truly an icon.
Can't wait! A legend <3
I know I’m 5 years late but I’ve just listened to this album and it is FANTASTIC. Unbreakable, BURNITUP!, Dammn Baby, The Great Forever, Night and Take Me Away are spectacular. Wow I cannot wait to listen to Control, The Velvet Rope and Rhythm Nation 1814 now.
Why did I dismiss Ms. Jackson for so long? She’s been serving it to us since 1986.
