New Janet Jackson EP confirmed to drop later this year

We’re not a Janet Jackson fansite, honest! But when an absolute queen announces new music, you better believe we’re gonna be there every step of the way.

Now, less than 48 hours on from the release of ‘Made For Now’, it seems that our prayers have been answered – even more new JJ music is incoming.

Speaking to Billboard earlier, producer Harmony Samuels (who masterminded ‘Made For Now’) confirmed that both he and Jackson have been hard at work on a new EP, and though details are sketchy, it could be bringing us back to some of Janet’s earlier work.

“She’s not bound to any genre of music” said Samuels. “She does have some classic R&B, but some other stuff that’s grungy where you’ll be like, woo! What vibe is that? Kind of George Michael-esque. I can’t say more than that. [Laughs] But it’s very impressive and people that have listened before me, it feels like she’s gone back to Velvet Rope and Control but it’s new, it’s a different vibe and you can hear that. For me, that’s more than I can ask, that people feel that same connection from where she was 30 years ago. That’s amazing. This EP is going to be exciting. It’s young and fresh but it’s not young trying to be young. It’s open for everyone to receive.”

Not long after, Janet herself dropped by iHeartRadio, adding further pieces to the ‘new music puzzle’. “Yes, there’s a project that will be in the fall — a little project” she said, adding “This is just the beginning. ‘Made For Now’ is the first single”.
