The official statement also highlights another headline worthy bit of news besides the album, namely that Jackson is forming a new record label, Rhythm Nation Janet Jackson.
From the BMG press release:
The worldwide partnership with Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation will see the release in Fall 2015 of her first as-yet-untitled album and a commitment to pursue the full range of options within the broader Bertelsmann group of which BMG is part. With Rhythm Nation Janet Jackson becomes arguably the first female African-American recording artist to form her own record label. At Rhythm Nation Janet plans to offer a home to both new and established recording artists.
Over her three decades in the entertainment business, Jackson has sold over 160 million records and successfully branched into acting. She made a splash at a 2007 Super Bowl performance with Justin Timberlake, where a wardrobe malfunction during halftime overshadowed the rest of the game (and earned two Guinness World Records for ‘Most Searched Person in Internet History’ and ‘Largest Fine Ever Imposed on Broadcaster’). She’s been keeping a low profile since marrying Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana in 2012 but we’ll expect her to be a trending topic from here through the end of the year.
