THE 
January 11, 2008 Janet Jackson Covers New Issue of Billboard Magazine!
Okay… so I love this new picture of Janet Jackson on the cover of Billboard magazine (on newsstands now) but is it me or does this picture look like it was taken about 10-15 years ago? Anyway, here’s some of the highlights from the article.
Janet on Discipline not being a “comeback” album: “I think a comeback is when you leave and then you … come back,” she tells Billboard with a laugh. “People are always quick to use that word ‘comeback,’ but I never went anywhere, really.”
Janet on the new album: “heavier on dance tracks than seductive jams” and describes the album’s title track as “one of her typical frisky bedroom cuts, featuring lyrics like, ‘I need some discipline tonight/I’ve been very bad’ and ‘Daddy, make me cry.’”
Janet on how Virgin Records handled her last two albums: “Not to badmouth Virgin, ’cause it was my family for a very long time, but they kind of just lost touch. To only have support of the urban development and for [those two albums] to sell what they did, there’s a lot to say for that. [At Island] they all come together, and one department knows what the other department is doing. You need to really move forward. It’s teamwork, and that’s what Virgin lost.”
Note: JJ also tells Billboard that she hopes to tour in support of her soon to be released Discipline album in mid- to late summer.
