Rumors have been swirling around that Damito Jo is retiring from music ~ thankfully, they are just rumors!
Janet Jackson has spoken with Billboard in an exclusive Q&A where she revisits the making of janet., discusses its current influence and teases her next album (“I am working on a new project now”). #POW
Check out some excerpts of that interview below:
I can’t believe it is already 20 years! I always write my music based on what is going on in my life at the time. I wanted to allow people in… I want my fans to really know me. The ‘janet’ album was sexual and I was beginning to really discover that side of me.
Many artists cite you as a role model and a huge influence on their career and image. Which artists today do you admire?
I’m flattered that other artists consider me a role model. I’m really enjoying what Bruno Mars and Adele are doing, a lot of artistry there.
It’s been five years since your last album, and nearly four since your last single. Have you been working on new music, and when can we expect it if so?
I am working on a new project now. We are creating the concept and initial thoughts on the music. I am excited about the direction we are taking. I don’t want to rush it… I don’t want to put a time constraint on the creative process.
Janet (stylized as janet.) is the fifth studio album by Jackson, released on May 18, 1993 by Virgin Records. Here are a couple of my fave tracks off the album:height=350
