Janet Jackson has No Label
Posted in Janet Jackson, Record Label on the October 10, 2008
Janet Jackson is now without a label as she is no longer with Island Def Jam Music Group. She isn’t releasing any info regarding if she was dropped though. The report of the split comes from producer Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins. He confirmed that Janet is now a free agent. He adds “We didn’t get the support from the record company.” He also said that Janet “felt like it wasn’t pushed. I felt like it wasn’t pushed correctly. She just didn’t get her just-do as an artist of that magnitude.” He also talked about her future saying “I could make an album with her, possibly me, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis. Keep it real simple. They focus on what they’re great at, I focus on what I’m great at. We come together and make a classic Janet record.”
Mel B and Janet Jackson duet

Mel B is recording a duet with Janet Jackson for her new album. The Spice Girls star, whose last single ‘Today’ failed to break the Top 40 when it was released in 2005, believes the collaboration will secure her chart success this time round.
She said: “I am doing something with Janet Jackson which should be amazing. I am also going to hook up with Missy Elliott again.”
Mel teamed up with Missy Elliott for her debut solo track ‘I Want You Back’. The 1998 track was her only single to top the charts after she left the Spice Girls. The 33-year-old singer insists she isn’t worried about going it alone again and is convinced she has the best people in the music business working on her third solo LP.
Mel added: “I am not scared of having another try. I am working with the best producers ever. I am now 10 tracks in to my new record.”
The star’s previous albums were ‘Hot’, which was released in 2000 and 2005’s ‘LA State Of Mind’.
Ciara and Janet Jackson Duet

Doing remakes of very popular songs was the trend of 2007 when many artists from different genres of music put their own twist on Rihanna’s massive hit single ‘Umbrella’. But it looks like it’s not going to be the big thing for music in 2008.
Robyn was the first to make a duet out of a new song when she reworked one of Snoop Dogg’s newest songs into a duet. Mind you, her take on it was hot. Now, Ciara has followed her lead and did a duet version of Janet Jackson’s ‘Feedback’. And much like Robyn and Snoop’s so-called duet, the R&B/hip hop singer’s so-called duet with Janet is the hotness!
Some Feedback from Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson goes through quite a transformation on the New York City set of her new ‘Feedback’ music video. The video is being helmed by British director Saam Farahmand.
ExtraTV.com got to talk to Janet on the set of the video and she got asked to comment on her new album entitled ‘Discipline’. She says “I love the dance. I love the mid tempo stuff. I love the slow songs and the baby making songs. It still has that element to it.” I guess it’s pretty clear that she loves the songs on her album. She also admitted that she knows how her songs put listeners in the mood by saying “You don’t know how many people come up to me and say, ‘This child was conceived listening to you.’”
New Janet
Posted in Album Release, Janet Jackson, Music, Music People, Music Review, Photography, Pop Music on the November 30, 2007
It has just been confirmed on Tuesday that Janet Jackson will be releasing a new album in February. The yet to be named project is the follow up to 2006’s critical and commercial flop ’20 YO’. And unlike that record, her new album is not going to be produced by Jermaine Dupri but by Def Jam CEO Antonio ‘LA’ Reid.
Janet is expected to go out on tour to support her new record. But she also said that she was going to tour for the last one and it didn’t happen. So I’ll quit while I’m ahead and not going to expect much.
