Janet Jackson has announced that she’s soon to release a new album and go on a world tour.

Black Diamond, whose album release date is as yet unknown, will see Janet hit 34 North American cities as part of a new world tour in which she’ll showcase new music and also perform a special tribute to Rhythm Nation.

Black Diamonds are the toughest of all the diamonds, the hardest to cut. I see that as the hardest to hurt or destroy. There is a lot that I have endured. I see myself as a Black Diamond in its purest form. I’m a rock, I have ruff edges but I keep moving forward. I want to show you my strength as well as give you strength.

Janet Jackson has performed perhaps the trickiest dance move of her career – the Baby Shark.

In an interview with Marvin Humes and Kat Shoob, Janet learnt the new dance taking kids all over the world by storm.

In an interview with Baby Spice Emma Bunton, Janet Jackson learnt some good old British phrases such as “Cheeky Nandos” and “getting trollied”.

Spice Girl Emma Bunton revealed that Janet is one of her favourite singers and that she grew up listening to Rhythm Nation and that she first danced with a boy to “Let’s Wait Awhile”.

Janet also spoke about the #MeToo movement as well as talking about how her son Eissa loves the piano.

When asked if she’d encourage him to be a musician, Janet said: “Only if he wants to be. But it’s not an easy life. So it’s truly up to him. If he has a passion for it. He loves piano. He loves drums. He loves music.”

Presenter Jamie Theakston then asked, “He’s not playing the piano before the age of two surely?”, to which Janet replied, “Yeah.”

“He doesn’t bang on it. You know most kids would bang on it? He actually … it’s really interesting because he’ll play a melody.”

“He’ll play something and he’ll go to another note, two notes. And then he’ll go back to the first two notes. And there’s a rhythm to it. It honestly blew my mind.”

In an interview in London, Janet Jackson hinted that she wouldn’t be opposed to working with Justin Bieber.

“I’m not opposed to working with Justin. I’ve heard his music. I think he’s talented,” Janet said.

“I wouldn’t mind doing something with…I will…don’t want to say too much. But there’s nothing in the works, I haven’t…but I’ve been…because that’s what it sounds like right?”

“Because I have been approached and we’ll see what happens,” Janet said.

Intriguing, Janet!

Janet has been making the rounds recently to promote her new single Made For Now. She has visited many radio studios but, in what is perhaps her funniest interview in years, Janet spoke to Big Boy at Real 92.3 in Los Angeles.

In the interview Janet reveals that the weirdest thing she’s ever received from a fan was semen in a jar.
