Must be the album title too! And I've been reading a world tour so #JJ12 is gonna be called 'Black Diamond'? She better announce the album tonight!

According to an article, Janet will be performing in Buffalo on Tuesday, July 21. The article is from EXACTLY 1 year ago though. The date Tuesday, July 21 DOES match with this year though. Yesterday, a fan said on Facebook that Janet was scheduled to perform in Toronto, Canada in July. 

If all this is true, it seems like she's heading on a US tour. NO WAY she's doing that without new music/an album. And it has gotta lead into a world tour (perhaps)...

we'll see...

She really needs to lay off touring if we're being honest. Her last couple of sets have been rather uninspiring. No point in doing shows if she's not going to give us something fresh.

I partially agree. Her last shows were New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, San Fran & Minnesota, but the Australian festival shows were just short sets. No spectacular things. Just Janet, and as many hits as possible done in 50 mins. 

New music definitely needs to come in order to do something new and it will come. Hopefully very soon before she hits the road again on a (world) tour.

Hopefully. Even if it's just a new song. But knowing Janet, it'll likely be at the festival.

I want her team to be smart. If she's only just announcing another Vegas residency it seems like a missed oppurtunity because she doesn't need a talkshow to promote an upcoming tour (SOTW & Meta only had promotion through her social media). At the Tonight Show she should announce something like a new single and/or an album release date. But hey, that's just me.

Probably. She said new music was coming.

We will get new music soon. And hopefully she will announce it on Monday

I have a feeling its goin to be a new EP with 5 or 6 songs..even tho i really want a brand new album..i guess i should be happy anyway its still new music

I'm reading that lots of fans actually do expect her to perform a new single and/or announcing a new album. I don't want to get my hopes up too high so I am just assuming she's announcing a 2nd Vegas residency or US tour..

@james__mitsoty. But i didn't recognize other dancers so it might be a non-Janet thing...

I mean it is officially a new decade now... I think she’s gearing up to put out new music and score that “#1 album in 5 consecutive decades” accolade!

I hope hope hope she performs a new single and announces the album... it would be perfect!

I think just a guest... Gil was in IG live earlier and I asked him if he was coming to NYC next week, too... and he said no. I feel like if she were performing, he’d be coming here, too.

According to one of the dancers, they're rehearsing... Seems like a performance to me.

New picture!! New single cover?

So this "Stay Tuned" post... What does it mean? I really want to believe it's a new single followed by an album announcement but i don't want to get my hopes up too high so I expect it's 'just' tour dates

Ummmm...on second thought.... What does this mean?!? 

This got me pretty hyped. They're working on the next single. I'd say a release within 4 months.

Awesome!!! But let’s not get carried away yet until Janet makes an official announcement. I know! All this teasing is exciting as hell but let’s wait a bit so we’re not disappointed again.

Oh yeah totally. I'm not counting on anything haha. 

These sorts of photoshoots are more than perfect for the new album! And the title Livin' is one I actually like.

Hi everybody!

I'm Greg and I'm new here. As a Janet fan who's been following her since 1989, I thought it was time for me to join this fabulous community.

I always wondered why there has never been a remix album for "Rhythm Nation 1814" like there was for "Control" and "Janet."

There are so many versions of the singles released from that album, it's not as if there was nothing to start with...

Back in 2013 I decided to make a selection of those tracks and put them on a fan remix album mixed with the original interludes from RN1814.

The result is a boiling down of all that stuff to a one hour album / playlist, blending together several versions for each song.

As 2019 is the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the groundbreaking album, I thought it was time to share this: 

The 1814 Mixes

For those who know the 12" versions Inside out, sometimes you will easily spot the changes made. Sometimes it won't be that obvious.

Tell me what you think.

I always wondered the same. There are lots remixes... I'm happy she made them all available on Spotify, iTunes and YouTube!

What's your worst crime as a Janet fan? I'm afraid to say mines 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've never seen Poetic Justice or For Colored Girls

 

*Runs and hides*

Omg haha. And I thought mine were bad

I never heard "Luv Me Luv Me" until a week ago...

I still mishear lyrics. Like in Control, I always thought she said "Come here Lewis" when she actually said "career moves". My mind was blown when i found out

How do you know?

That's crazy cause even here in the states they never play anything from her first 2 albums

Seems like they're starting to appreciate Janet more over here (including her less successful work)

Seems like in the Netherlands airplay for Janet seems to increase at the bigger stations. They're playing more Janet than Mariah Carey and they're FINALLY paying more attention to songs that weren't neccesarily hits over here (Miss You Much, Young Love already today!).

Allison is great! I saw her backstage in Montreux this Summer and she was super nice, but honestly, she's not better than the other Kids yet the audience seems to give her a louder applause, because, well, she's a big girl.

Haha knowing Jimmy and Gil we'll probably get told we should be happy with what we got etc. We need to figure out a nice way to ask 

Yeah I'm avoiding them haha. I always direct my messages to UMe, Joey Harris, Jareiq Kabara and Anastasia Wright. They're from her team and are really involved in releases and promotion.
