Janet Jackson Reveals All for Unbreakable
Janet Jackson have finally revealed all (actually, most) of her much-anticipated new album in 7 years, “Unbreakable.” The singer, who recently opened her Unbreakable World Tour in Vancouver, have set October 2, 2015 as the date for the wide release of the album with her Rhythm Nation record label and BMG as its distribution partner. Pre-orders on iTunes starts on September 3.
Janet also revealed the album cover as previously posted a video of the photoshoot with photographer Yu Tsai. Few comments have also sparked a debate over her new choice of style which, by some, is considered as 'not a Janet as we know.'
Also, the album's lead single, “No Sleeep,” have recently returned to the peak position on both Billboard's Urban AC and Adult R&B charts. The album release comes on the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking collaboration on her “Control” album.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on the album's development, commented, “It’s wonderful to be creating again with Janet. From songwriting, producing, arranging, singing, dancing, acting, she deftly does it all and truly personifies the word artist. Unbreakable is a gift to all of her fans who have steadfastly stood by her. It is a subject for conversation, a plea for compassion, and a call for action from someone who’s come a long way, but’s got a long way to go, and has much to say about it. In other words, if you want to know what’s on her mind you only have to listen.”
The album is described by the singer herself as a 'very personal' record. Her Unbreakable World Tour is currently touring in Canada and will stop in Japan before returning for the North American leg. To date, 68 dates have been announced for the tour.
