Janet Jackson hasn’t released an album since 2008 with her album “Discipline” and the drought is about to come to an end this fall. On her website Janet announced that her eleventh album will arrive later this year on her new Rhythm Nation label. “The worldwide partnership with Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation will see the release in Fall 2015 of her first as-yet-untitled album and a commitment to pursue the full range of options within the broader Bertelsmann group of which BMG is part. With Rhythm Nation Janet Jackson becomes arguably the first female African-American recording artist to form her own record label. At Rhythm Nation Janet plans to offer a home to both new and established recording artists.
The partnership with BMG makes Janet Jackson the biggest worldwide superstar yet to quit the traditional record label system for a so-called artist services deal, designed to put artists in the driving seat. Unlike a traditional record deal, under an artist services deal the artist retains ownership of their recordings and full oversight of all costs and revenues.” Janet fans should start getting excited because her new album is right around the corner and it has been a long time coming.
