In a new interview with Sister 2 Sister magazine, Janet has raised questions over her future in music and said her newfound passion for behind-the-scenes television work is taking up lots of her time.
“I have been getting more behind the scenes with film and television. I will probably continue to do music and acting is still a strong passion of mine – but I really have been loving behind-the-scenes work: producing, directing and all the technical stuff.“
She also talks about her relationship with former record label Island Def Jam. She says whilst the label wanted her to slow things down and release music like Sade, Janet knew her dance tracks are the ones fans want to hear.
“They wanted me to sound more like Sade [and I said] I’m not ready for that just yet. I love doing dance songs and I think my fans expect that of me.”
When asked about her desire to have children, Janet replied:
“At some point it’s coming. When? I have no idea. He (Jermaine Dupri) has been past ready. He’s just waiting for me; I’m the one holding up the whole thing. Everyone tells me that there will never be a good time, that I will always be busy, but I just think when the stars are aligned it will happen.”
I dont really like the idea of her doing music like SADE just yet, Miss Janet is hmmm I dont kno, theres more music she could experiment with more before she gets to that point. I like the fact she’s also finding other passions like television, film, it shows how me and her are so much alike. I really hope she dosent give up on the music she loves to do anytime soon. I say hern ext album she hooks up with Pharrell Williams, Danja, Polo Da Don, Timbaland, hmm Jimmy Jam and Terry again!, umm basically alot of the hottest profucers out right now! I mean for her next album that is, which wont probably be intil 2010 or 2011. But I think she should get hooked up with the hooked up with the hottest producers to help contribute a hotter sound then what we are used to hearing in todays music, i feel as though all of them working with Janet would equal up to a hot club bangin masterpeice!
