No one really wants the tour tbh, except for some of the stans. Just shoot a few videos (when possible) and drop the album.ย 

Europe wants the tour ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ

But we're willing to wait til Corona is under control.ย

Has she said anything about the cancellations yet? Is it cancelled or just postponed?
ย 

It's too bad but there was no other option at this point with all that's going on. The State of the World tour was about what's going on right now. I wonder what she had in store for us with the BD. I hope she releases the album this year with some great new tracks... Something fresh and hopeful. Yes, hope, that's what we need right now.

As far as the music goes, Black Diamond as a concept would be an ideal project for right now. She could discuss any and everything from her unjust treatment and surviving it, to her motherhood & concerns as a mother, to the movement & her support of the movement & being a Black woman. She can literally create a very elevating & timely piece of art right now.ย 
ย 

Ultimately it would be for her core fan base but it would be something she could really stand on.ย

She's said a lot about the state of the world during her career: The Rhythm Nation concept, New Agenda, Can't be stopped etc I thought the BD was going to be more about her personal journey. But it's all connected, so who knows what she had in store. I miss her! I've already seen enough fan videos and tributes. I wish she would release something new soon.

ย 

When it comes to her next project, I don't see her NOT addressing this madness in her art somehow... So we'll see how the BD eventually turns out.

Did you guys know that (I saw on instagram) that one of Janet's nieces had a dog named Black Diamond. The dog has sadly passed away, but I just thought it was interesting/sweet that a dog might have inspired the name for this project. Well maybe it's just a coincidence, I don't know, but it made me smile nevertheless. :)

Im here studying wow. Before the first date we would've gotten aย  single and a music video for Black Diamond Tour

True. By now we definitely would've had the first single + music video, album cover, album release date. ๐Ÿ˜ญย 

On the other hand, we can still be excited for all these things at a later moment this year or 2021. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

There wasnโ€™t any promises or intentions to drop a song, video, & album cover. As a matter of fact, she was planning to unveil things on tour including the new music & while on tour start to phase in the new project.ย 
ย 

Honestly, the project was to give new material to her tour & fuel more sells. Janet has had music in the chamber since before, during, & after SOTW tour.ย 
ย 

At this point, she could drop an EP of new music/unreleased music. With some graphics & content to amplify it...that would just hold her over till next year.ย

Well regardless we know sheโ€™ll be releasing said album n tour in the near future. Itโ€™s just up to her n her team to find out whatโ€™s the best play to roll things out now. But racial tension is STILL too heavy and the corona virus seems to go away n come back worse again out ofย no where. Jesus!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I just wish she would hop as a feature on someone's track by time. Like a summer walker's album or migos album. Set the atmosphere for the coming of her album. I also lowkey wish she acted and did the soundtrack for Black Panther 2. HER AND DOJA CAT needs to collab with Janet

That wouldn't have made sense. The tour would've kicked-off in a few days. She was not gonna drop the first single after the first show (at least I don't think so). And yes, she said we would be getting the album before the end of the tour, but by now we would've had a release date and album cover. Why would you wait that long to reveal everything when the tour is already happening?

Pushing the tour makes sense and I do think releasing the album in Fall is a good idea.ย 

I would be sooo happy if she is still releasing this year. Tour next year. Makes sense.ย

She wouldnโ€™t be the first artist to do this. Iโ€™m 100% sure Beyoncรฉ went on tour in 2013 months before she dropped her self-titled album. Itโ€™s not new for artists to phase it in while on tour. It could be a myriad of reasons: not having the album finished yet, still working through a promo schedule, etc. Those things couldโ€™ve been in work while touring.ย

I canโ€™t remember but I think Unbreakable the cover came out after the tour was underway I THINK! Janet in her later years has not moved to the โ€œmake senseโ€ direction. She moves to the direction that fits her schedule & desires. IF she said before the tour ENDS that means at any given time while on tour...likely to keep interest going it would hit middle of the first leg.ย 

For Janet as a legacy artists her TOUR promotes her music vs the other way around. The general fan will find out sheโ€™s on tour & not even consider the new music. The new music just allows her to diversify the tour & energize it as the momentum builds.ย

Bingo. Also to another point I saw you make - she is not looking to chart huge singles anymore. Those days of chasing that is over. Getting a number one will continue to solidify her legacy. Thatโ€™s a obtainable based on when she drops & who she drops against. Thatโ€™s strategy & she can do that.ย

Right.ย  Because people were wondering why she was touring with no album like previous tours.ย 

I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes, but it would be nice to at least have a single by the end of the summer.ย  We've waited this long for an album, so we can wait longer I suppose. LOL.

It would be nice to get some kind of info on where things are at instead of a thousand inspirational posts from the stans running her socials.

I should have known better that it wasn't HER posting all them videos and stuff.ย  She ain't that bored. -_-

Okay. Well, the Unbreakable album came out when the tour was 1 month in. That's reasonable. I meant that it would be illogical to release the album at the end of the tour. By now, the Black Diamond album probably would've been a few weeks from being released, but a single release in April or May would've been very possible considering all the great promo we were getting in February.ย 

Also, I think that beautiful picture Janet shared on her birthday is part of the album booklet.ย

I think she shares some (especially the Insta stories), but definitely not all of them.

Orrrr intended tour booklet. The tour was intended to be first. The tour is the anchor the album is an offering. I know die hard fans see it opposite but trust me...she just needed another reason to keep touring since she had been performing for the last 4-ish years.ย
