Dal Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Alert! ? Alert! ? Alert! ? This morning Gil was live streaming on IG and stated that he had just heard some "new tracks" from Janet!Also...when a fan told him that she couldn't wait to see them perform in Brooklyn, Gil replied with "we can't wait either!"If that ain't legit confirmation, then idk what is!#beready 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StateOfTheWorld Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 YesssssssssI hope it's a new albumA re-release would be pointless, the album is almost 2years old and the theme for that era served it's purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StateOfTheWorld Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yeah.. true.. she has time to craft an album but I don't want her to rush for the tour!!!I want nothing but good reviews for the tour, time to shut the Naysayers up about her being unreliable .I wonder if it will mirror the RN1814 Era, with the all black wardrobe, minimal staging, huge screens, pyrotechnics ect.Seems fitting since she named the tour after the albums key songs.

I'm not worried about that at all.I hope it's a combination of Unbreakable and RN. I want new (more) outfits than just the two she did for Unbreakable. I didn't get a chance to see her bc she postponed my date due to her blessing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 I didn't get a chance to see her bc she postponed my date due to her blessingI remember going back and forth with you time and time again about everything under the Janet sun back in the day (not that long ago actually)... but for your sake, I genuinely hope you finally get to see her this/next year.. getting seated in the front row with my wife and babygirl was a moment we'll never forget (especially when Janet spoke to my daughter and I!) and I hope you get to experience that for yourself again.. cheers! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 YesssssssssI hope it's a new albumA re-release would be pointless, the album is almost 2years old and the theme for that era served it's purpose.A re-release would be better.

jarrylf Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 This is the news I want, personally as brilliant as she is live, shes my fave artist, so I welcome all the new material. Re-release wouldnt be a let down, but I got what I needed from it, everyone who matters that knows of it loved it, and thats what I wanted a album better than the era (she hadnt had that in YEARS), & im ok with that being THE main objective, quality music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 so speaking of new music for some reason I could see Janet doing "Closer" by the Chainsmokers, the music anyway sounds like her to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msboz Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Fuck yes. That is the icing on the cake. I also hope its a new albumShe could even do like an 8 track EP on itunes. That would be considered a new album as well. Edited April 20, 2017 by msboz 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Eagle Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 She should re-release the album with new tracks to have it chart again. Since it's an independent release and she's bundling the cd with merchandise, it'll make sense to re-release it back into the public's consciousness while on tour. The album will easily chart every week like it was doing before she postponed. That would salvage the era and would be a better look if she toured with a re-release instead of just a 2-year-old album. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be considered a new album as well. I agree. She could do a simple EP nothing too hectic. I'd be ok with 5 songs but 8 would be epic. Just enough to get her point across & have some new material. I wonder the look she's going to go for & even though she has a song called State of the World I wonder if that would be the music project theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no buzz for a new Janet album. No sense in releasing a new album she'll most likely not promote. A few new tracks on a re-release will suffice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would salvage the era and would be a better look if she toured with a re-release instead of just a 2-year-old album."Salvage the era"? Are you talking about the tour, or the album? Unbreakable went to Number 1 and gave Janet her 40 Hot 100 hit and longest running Number 1 on any genre chart with No Sleep. Sure it wasn't a million-seller but let's not get confused and say the album wasn't successful. But let's be clear about chart expectations going forward. Now that all of the charts rely so heavily on streaming, it's going to be tough for artists like Janet to have the chart success that you see from folks like Ariana Grande or Harry Styles. Janet's fans don't spend every waking moment on social media trying to boost her YouTube and Spotify plays. On today's Billboard charts, that's how you get to "Number 1" absent a monumental sales week. And even when limited to Streaming, there's a lot of inequality built into the Billboard Charts. Remember how the Dammn Baby video took over Facebook, yet it missed the Hot 100 entirely? It's because it's YouTube views were low, and Billboard doesn't count Facebook video views into it's streaming data. The only plays that matter to them are Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and a few other services. They don't count Tidal either. Unbreakable is my favorite Janet album, and I personally would love to see a re-release. But don't expect it to garner some huge chart position. From that front, Janet would be better off doing an album or an EP, then combine with a new video and some lead-up promotion.

No sense in releasing a new album she'll most likely not promote. A few new tracks on a re-release will suffice.there was no promotion around Unbreakable not a single interview done, and yet it made it to number 1, every album Janet has put out over the last 2 decades has been a top 3 debut so there's no reason to believe a new album with 8 or so tracks couldn't chart well. Besides from Unbreakable the songs that did get released didn't do much on the hot 100, the only good thing that did succeed was "No Sleep" which did well in the AC format. And lets not forget even then during Unbreakable some people didn't know she had a new album out, there are enough fans to buy a new album she will hit number 1 again and that's good PR too Edited April 20, 2017 by Bailey.

FreelovesJJ Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 She doesn't need to rerelease Unbreakable it would just look like a bad effort. An EP gives her room to not do a heavy role out but also just enough to make a point, get in & get out, plus new songs to perform. 5-8 tracks is plenty & maybe some interludes that give the EP depth - something that allows her to narrate the message or make it cohesive. Also, fans have dealt with inconsistency with touring but the whole "what fans have gone through" - EVERY thing that has happened effects Janet more than fans. This is her career & life. We don't have to support. That's a choice, there's no entitlement to supporting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all would favour having less tracks on a record but have them executed well than 15 plus mediocre songs or interludes. She could easily do 7 new songs and add a couple of remixes and have a solid album. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
