Janet Jackson is kicking it old school with her forthcoming album and followup to "Discipline".
"It’s a hybrid of the old Rhythm Nation stuff, the Control, the Janet.
record, The Velvet Rope. Those records make you feel a certain way," says hit-making producer Rodney Jerkins.
According to Jerkins, he and Janet have been busy rekindling that 'feel good' and dance hungry sound that fans had been accustomed to.
"We’re going back to basics and fundamental sounds of Janet. A lot of uptempo stuff makes you feel good. There’s so many
different colors of Janet," Jerkins told MTV earlier this week.
News of Jackson's direction for the as-yet-untitled album follows Monday's release of a song titled "Make Me".
Released just after Jackson performed a lauded tribute to late brother and entertainer, Michael Jackson, Janet told fans the song was a "gift".
Jerkins, making note of the gift, says “It’s all about her. It’s about [saying], ‘Listen, if you really want to get with me, you gotta make me feel a certain way."
Janet Jackson's forthcoming as-yet-untitled album is due for release early 2010.

Donnie?
Your an ASSHOLE! Latoya is a no talented Judas! Living off of Micheal for YEARS!!!Who had to take her clothes off to get attention. Janet did expose her own nipple, Justin TimberFAKE did that! Typical of you to excuse the white man's behavior and come down on the Sister. Your a discrace!!!!!!!!
If by talent you mean showing your nipple to get attention, and moaning off key like Minnie Mouse on helium in songs then yes she is very talented. I doubt you are familiar with Toy's catalogue and are just blindly following the media's assessment so I won't bother defending her. The work speaks for itself as does Janets.
Donnie, I don't think you believe a word of that mess you just typed. LaToya Jackson has the least talent in the family. She turned AGAINST Michael on national tv. She is a money-grubbing trick who thinks that MJ's death is going to revitalize her failure of a career. Maybe going back to work is Janet's way of coping. So shut the hell up and leave Janet alone. You're not God, so therefore, you can't judge with any jurisdiction.
I'm really tired of Janet lip-synching. I'm glad she did a tribute but I like Latoya's song Home tribute better. Latoya's vocals are much better and she is the only one with any personality in the family and she was the first there at the hospital, signed the death certificate, and planned the memorial, and has since promoted Michael's charities. Janet went right back to work on Tyler Perry's movie and back in the studio to record yet another sex song just after her brother's death. Sad, Sad, Sad.
