J. Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonsaibutterfly Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 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. ย 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreelovesJJ Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsaibutterfly Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 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.

bonsaibutterfly Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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? I canโt 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 โmake 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 sheโs 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 On 6/21/2020 at 10:18 PM, Angela said: She wouldnโt be the first artist to do this.

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. Thatโs a obtainable based on when she drops & who she drops against. Thatโs strategy & she can do that.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
