Janet Jackson is preparing to make a comeback. Seven years since her last album Discipline hit stories in 2008, the singer announced this week that she's getting ready to release a new album under her brand-new label, Rhythm Nation, while also planning a new world tour to promote the release.
The Rhythm Nation label, which Janet formed under BMG, recalls her 1989 album Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, which earned critical acclaim and went on to influence artists like Rihanna and Lady Gaga. The album explored social issues of its time and called for racial harmony — a theme that Janet will probably mine in her new output. According to the release, the label will also serve as "a home to both new and established recording artists." All told, it's good to see Janet come back to us.
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.
The partnership with BMG makes Janet Jackson the biggest worldwide superstar yet to quit the traditional record label system for a so-called artist services deal, designed to put artists in the driving seat. Unlike a traditional record deal, under an artist services deal the artist retains ownership of their recordings and full oversight of all costs and revenues.
