There won’t be a Janet Jackson record released this summer through Atlantic Records.

That’s news on Monday because of an article posted by Hip Hop Vibe last week which claimed Jackson was slated to release a new record on July 10. The news was based on an uncredited photo of upcoming releases the site assumed to be an Atlantic Records calendar (because the other artists listed – iLoveMakonnen, Waka Flocka Flame, Meek Mill and more – are part of the Atlantic roster). But as an Atlantic Records representative confirmed to EW (as well as other sites such as Stereogum and Fact), Jackson will not release an album on Atlantic Records this summer.

So what happened? It’s possible that the photo was of a distributor’s calendar, and Ms. Jackson will release a record this year (Walmart spoiled the Kendrick Lamar news, though the date was ultimately incorrect). But with a profile as high as hers, it’s hard to imagine we wouldn’t have heard a few more rumblings about the project before now. (Still, as Stereogum pointed out, Sia’s manager tweeted that he heard Jackson was releasing a new album this year.)

Jackson’s last release, the regrettably-named Discipline, came in 2008 via Island Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. (Atlantic Records is owned by Warner Music Group.)

Did anybody really believe that she would be releasing new music after seeing that new pic of her?! When has Janet Jackson ever looked frumpy before releasing new music? I mean she had on a black blazer with black pants for gods sake, you just can't be casual about casualties.

The only thing this article said was "Janet didn't sign with Atlantic" which we already knew since that rumor was made up

And Entertainmeny Weekly sourced something they clearly didn't read:

UPDATE: Okay, maybe we’ve established the release isn’t coming through Atlantic, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a new Janet album on the way. According to her fan forum janet.club, the photo of releases in question is actually from a record store.

Frumpy???

 

I dont remember anyone using that description at the time.. And considering she was so covered up, its hard to tell anything about her size.

So now people know how Janet (or her stylist ) decides what she is gonna wear... and of course, it has nothing to do with the weather or the event. Being "slim" doesnt mean she has to walk around naked. Some of you are making some stupid assumptions.
