New Janet Music Isn't
When it comes to Janet Jackson's music, she wants her fans to know she's still in Control.
The wardrobe-malfunctioning superstar has put the kibosh on reports that some songs leaked online are tracks from her forthcoming album, tentatively titled 20 Years Old.
While Jackson admits the songs making the Internet rounds, including one called "Put It On Me," are hers, she denies they were ever earmarked for release on her new album.
"A couple of years ago I recorded some tracks with [music producer] Rich Harrison," Jackson said in a statement. "But none of that music will appear on my new album. I have a tight rein on all of the music that has been recorded."
Except, apparently, on the songs that were leaked.
As for what songs might appear on the 39-year-old's album, Jackson isn't talking. But several fan sites are.
"Pops Up," one of the tracks that surfaced online last year, is purportedly being reworked and rereleased as "Speed It Up." According to Jackson fan sites, the song's new incarnation is already being played on radio stations in Louisiana. But because Jackson is not expected to officially drop her first single until May, it's likely the track is a leftover from her Damita Jo sessions.
Named in honor of the two-decade anniversary of Jackson's career-defining Control, 20 Years Old is set for a fall release, most likely coming to stores at the end of September.
"It's a milestone year for us and for the collaboration," Jackson's longtime collaborator Jimmy Jam told Billboard. "It'll be 20 years since the release of Control, so there's definitely a little bit of a nod to that on the new album."
The singer's other longtime collaborator--both professionally and, since 2001, personally--Jermaine Dupri also worked on the album, as both a producer and singer.
"You'll hear my voice on some songs," Dupri told Billboard. "The world has no idea what they're about to experience--Janet has the best production trio possible--and I guarantee, we will deliver!"
The new album will be Jackson's first release since 2004's Damita Jo, which was more a victim of timing than anything else. It debuted at number two on the charts, but quickly suffered sales in the aftermath of Jackson's headline-making, fine-inducing, breast-baring Super Bowl performance.
