We’ve been neglectful with the iconic and incredible Janet Jackson. Literally, hordes of news about Ms. Jackson has hit the net and we did not post anything. So without further ado, Janet Jackson:

Greatest Hits Album

Janet Jackson is releasing another greatest hits album entitled Number Ones on November 17, 2009. The collection will span hits from her past and present and will be a great pick-up for any casual fan or stan.

She recorded a new song for the hits’ collection entitled “Make Me.” The song premiered back in September the day after the MTV VMA‘s. The video for the uptempo gritty electro-rectro track has been shot by Robert Hales and should premiere very soon.

Studio Album

Janet Jackson is back in the studio recording her 11th studio which may end up being her Emancipation of Mimi. Producer Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins spoke about the album on a few occasions:

“It’s funny, ’cause when we just started the project, she was like, ‘I wanna do 10 dance records, all up-tempo to dance. Let’s just go dance’. The sound is inspired by worldwide influences, from African rhythms to Brazilian and Latin music, and RJ said we can expect features on this album like a Pitbull track that was recorded last week. But she hits me today and she says we need to do some mid-tempos as well. And I’m glad for that because there’s a time when you listen to a record that you wanna mellow out and she always gives us those great smoothed-out mellow records. So now that she’s in that zone, it’s like ‘Yes!’ ’cause we can focus on that. But I’m still gonna keep the beats hard underneath ’cause she’s still a dancer at heart.”

“We’re really playing around and trying to really target her fans. You know old school Janet is what we as fans knew her as, so we’re really trying to target that sound. While still trying to mix it in with something new; be able to touch it to different world types of sound like: Brazilian music, Latin music, you know just different sounds from around the world; there’s one that’s African inspired. Just real high energy for Janet, some soul…it’s a real tight project.”

Discipline is not considered one of Janet’s best but heck we still give that record spins. With the FUNK of “So Much Betta” and the sway of “Rollercoaster” how could you not like that album. Plus the album imagery was hot; all that sleek black. We’re looking forward to this album.

Television & Performances

On November 18, 2009 an interview with Janet Jackson and ABC’s Robin Roberts will air from Janet’s Malibu home. You can view a preview of it below:

A few days after on November 22, 2009 Janet will take the stage to perform at the 2009 American Music Awards, for most likely a performance of “Make Me.” To top it off Ms. Jackson will head to the UK where she will perform on X Factor on December 6 and headline the Jingle Bell Ball in London’s 02 Arena later that night.

Movie

Ms. Jackson is set to recur her role in the sequel to Tyler Perry’s ‘Why Did I Get Married’ which is set to hit theaters in April 2010. The first was a good movie and by the looks of the trailer the sequel may hold up to the original.

There you have it, a recollection of everything Janet. That is one busy woman and it must be a nice feeling to be an entertainer with such longevity.
