JANET ON LACK OF 'DISCIPLINE' PROMO
Janet Jackson shocked plenty of her core fanbase during a recent interview with SOHH. Because of a dispute with her new label home Island Def Jam Records, Janet admitted that she and her label haven't been able to see eye to eye on song choices ever since her "Feedback" promo.
Not for nothing but didn't her label released two to three singles right after "Feedback"??! Where were the promo campaigns for "Can't B Good", "Luv", and "Rock With U"?!?!? "Discipline" to me was the most consistent album from Janet since "Damita Jo". Well since Janet confirmed that no more singles would be released from "Discipline", anyone else disappointed that your favorite cuts wouldn't be released? (I was hoping for "2Nite" and "Curtains" to be performed.)
As for the good news, Janet has since announced her upcoming "Rock Witchu" tour. Melanie Brown has also mentioned she has a collaboration with Janet in the works. "I not scared of having another try. I am working with the best producers ever. I am now ten tracks in to my new record. I am doing something with Janet Jackson which should be amazing. I am also going to hook up with Missy again".
"That’s pretty difficult to say, only because of the record label at this point. We started off with “Feedback” and the label and myself haven’t quite seen eye to eye since the "Feedback" single so they’ve kind of basically stopped all promotion. I’m trying to figure out a way to say this, but just to say it and to be quite honest, they just stopped all promotion whatsoever on the album so I don’t think you’re going to hear another single off this album."
