by Janet Jacksonâs 2008 release of âDisciplineâ may be her final full album, atleast for now that is. The Pop/R&B star is said to be concentrating on her film career, and only interested in recording singles on the music side. Her ex-boyfriend and hit producer Jermaine Dupri tells Vibe: âI can tell you that sheâs not working on an album. We just did the one song (âNothingâ) for the Why Did I Get Married Too soundtrack, which was released off of So So Def. Last time I heard she really didnât want to do an album. She wanted to just do singles every once in a while. Sheâs looked at the marketplaceâalbums 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. But the crazy part is âNothingâ is the biggest format record that Iâve ever had. Itâs playing on seven different formats: gospel, AC, urban AC, urban mainstream, jazz and top 40 and rhythmic. I never had a record on a jazz station. Iâm out here in LA and the biggest jazz station out here, The Wave, you know, that station when you go to hotels and you donât know what station the radio in your room is on? This record is on that station [laughs].â Jermaine also added that Janet is doing fine stating: âSheâs cool. She has a lot of work going on thatâs 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 sheâs 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. They will be shooting that in June. And then sheâs performing at the Essence Festival, so sheâs rehearsing for that every day.â Read the full interview on Vibe.com
