Producer and ex lover Jermaine Dupri was asked by Vibe Magazine if would be collaborating on another music project with Janet Jackson to which he revealed more than we thought.  Jermaine says:

VIBE: Will you be involved in Janet Jackson’s next project?

Dupri: I can tell you that she’s not working on an album. We just did the one song (“Nothing”) for the Why Did I Get Married Too soundtrack, which was released off of So So Def. Last time I heard she really didn’t want to do an album. She wanted to just do singles every once in a while. She’s looked at the marketplace—albums are not really doing what they usually do when you put all this budget out there. Janet is just trying to figure out her landscape.

She’s cool (though). She has a lot of work going on that’s keeping her in the right direction. The movie came out, which is the biggest Tyler Perry movie he has had thus far. It looks like her star power as an actress is still there. And she’s about to do the other movie (For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf) with Mariah, Kerry Washington, Whoopi Goldberg and few others.

Although we’re saddened by that there is no projected date for new Janet music we understand that this is a difficult time in music and is especially a difficult arena for this pop icon to release material considering the incessant backlash that she’s gotten. We think it is a wise decision for her to throw us a few singles at least and find a sound that works. We’ll be waiting J!
