Billboard reported today that Janet Jackson is currently working with longtime collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (the producers of all of her albums since Control) to release her 9th album this fall. The album's first single is due in May, while the album is due by the end of September--no word yet on titles for either.
The success of this album will be important to re-establish Janet Jackson as a credible pop star, after PR nightmare of "nipple gate" and the failure of any of the tracks from her last album, Damito Jo, to become hits. At her best, Jackson has been an extremely successful singles artist. All 7 singles from her 1989 album Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 were top 5 hits--four were #1s.
