It has been 20 years since Janet Jackson released her fifth album janet and on the anniversary of the hit album, she revealed some very exciting news!

MJ’s baby sis, who secretly married billionaire Wissam Al Mana last year, told Billboard that she has new album plans. As she reminisced, she says:

“I can’t believe it is already 20 years! I always write my music based on what is going on in my life at the time. I wanted to allow people in… I want my fans to really know me. The janet. album was sexual and I was beginning to really discover that side of me.”

Despite a five-year absence from the music game, the 47 year old says she is back in the studio working on her first album since 2008’s Discipline  but it is still in the beginning stages and she is in no rush to release it.

“I am working on a new project now. We are creating the concept and initial thoughts on the music. I am excited about the direction we are taking. I don’t want to rush it… I don’t want to put a time constraint on the creative process.”

Yes!

The diva also said she absolutely approves of Kendrick Lamar who sampled her janet.single “Any Time, Any Place” on his hit “Poetic Justice.”

“I have listened to themusic that is out there and I love Kendrick’s ‘Poetic Justice,’”

Janet, who also fancies Adele and Bruno Mars said:

There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.”

There’s no doubt Janet Jackson has inspired artists that have come after her but it is definitely time for her to make a comeback.
