JT: What was the process for this album? Janet Jackson: The process...umm. It actually kinda started in Miami really listening to music. LA had told me that there were producers who had heard that I was going to start the new project and wanted to be a part of it. And, they had written songs that they wanted to submit. So, I started listening to music. That's how it really got started. Picking things here and there that I liked. That felt like me. That I felt a connection with.
JT: How do you maintain your humility? Janet Jackson: It really stems from how I was raised. How we were all raised. I think that's really key for me. And, the people that I surround myself with as an adult. Not kiss ass people. My friends have been friends from school for years since I was young. 12 years old. 11 years old. Friends from when I was in my early 20s. And granted, I have a couple of new friends, but I don't have a lot of friends. And, whether it's my friends or the people that I work with I always tell them that I want to know the truth.
JT: Describe your feeling for this album. Janet Jackson: It's fun. It's a fun album. I want people to dance. I think it's thought provoking and not in a socially conscious way obviously, but I think with relationships. There's something that everybody can related to. If they haven't approached that moment in their lives, they will. Whether it's "Greatest Ex" or "Never Letchu Go" or "Can't Be Good." But, for the most part it's a fun album. I just want people to enjoy it. Just have a good time. When the dance numbers come on...dance. When the more slow grooves come on...just sit back and enjoy the groove and listen to what's being said to see if it relates to you. Or, if it doesn't to you then, to someone that you know. And, when the sensual stuff comes on...you know what to do with that so.
JT: Any plans for a tour? Janet Jackson: Yes. Mid to late summer. I've been telling everybody this and I am really not supposed to be saying anything. They wanted to wait until we really announced it. It's gonna be around mid to late summer that we'll tour with this project. We were actually in full blown tour mode with the last project until the label asked me to consider going back into the studio and making another album because they wanted to have something out at the end or beginning of the year before going back on tour.
