About the Artist
International megastar Janet Jackson, who has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and is the newest signing to the Island Def Jam Music Group, has completed her first new single for the label with hitmaking producer Rodney Jerkins. "Feedback" will impact across-the-board at all radio formats on January 7th.

DISCIPLINE, Janet Jackson's new album - and the 10th studio album of her career - is scheduled to arrive in stores on February 26th. In addition to Rodney Jerkins, the new album brings together an A-list of guest producers, including Jermaine Dupri, Ne-Yo, Stargate, Tricky Stewart, and The-Dream. DISCIPLINE was executive produced by Antonio "L.A." Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.

In a class all by herself, 5-time Grammy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated Janet Jackson is currently starring in Why Did I Get Married?, the smash hit movie by Tyler Perry, which opened #1 at the box office. This is the third motion picture of Janet's career, and her third to open at #1, following the success of Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000), and her leading title role in John Singleton's Poetic Justice (1993).

Album Description
"A PASSION FOR DISCIPLINE" by Janet "It's the idea that unifies the songs on this record. As a concept, and even a lifestyle, discipline goes extremely deep. It can be applied to so much about ourselves. In my case,I see it as one of defining aspects of my character. Discipline was there for me from the start. But it was not until this record that I began to understand its full meaning. "In putting Discipline out front -- as both the title of the album and title of a song about sexual surrender -- I wanted to announce that I was venturing into new creative waters. That meant working with producers like Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins, and Ne-Yo, whose songs spoke to the immediacy of my emotions. Like all my records, this one, whether intentional or not, has autobiographical roots. It's difficult for me to work any other way. I don't feel it, if I don't believe it, I can't sing it.

"So Discipline, as a storyline, begins in my childhood which someone could see as a classic study in discipline. Discipline was part of a family culture that I absorbed. I was born with it.

"I also believe that discipline has given me the confidence to jump out of the nest. When L.A. Reid, Chairman of Island Def Jam, and I discussed co-executive producing this record, we both agreed that the feeling had to adventuresome and fresh. I was interested in exploring musical scenarios--some exotic, many erotic, but all deeply emotional. "I wanted to push the envelope. And I'm glad that Discipline, both as a song and an album, does just that."

Customer Reviews

JANET'S DISCIPLINE IS GREATER THAN I THOUGHT
I was in doubt about getting this album since there was no Jimmy Jam or Terry Lewis. It did not matter when I purchased this album. I love it to death. Discipline shows that she is venturing new waters. Discipline began in her childhood. She expolred different scenarios-some exotic, many erotic, but all deeply emotional. The album just does that. Discipline helped her mature as a woman and an artist. This album is a key to freedom. It also focus on thoughts and feelings that nourish our physical and spirtual lives. This album should have been promoted more.

Something fresh from Janet Jackson!
Janet Jackson was certainly in need of a fresh sounding CD. Her previous two, 20 Y.O. and Damita Jo, weren't even on my radar screen, even for a long time fan like myself, since Control. I am so glad to see her back with a CD that is modern and fresh and something to dance to!

While I admit this CD took a little time to grow on me, the more I listen to it, the more I am convinced that this is a gem. It's a mix between what I consider classic Janet with her silky smooth voice and unbeatable pop beats; and an updated version that is infused with electricity in not only her voice, but in the rhythm and hooks in each song. Some of my favorite songs are: Feedback, Rock With U, Rollercoaster, Luv, 2Nite and Never Letchu Go.

The things I can do without on this CD are #1 The interludes!! I don't know why Janet likes these, but I have never cared for them and they are just plain annoying to me. #2 Some of her more R&B softer songs. I just don't get into that, I'd rather have more songs that are fun, songs that I want to sing/dance along to. Overall, I like the first half of the CD way more than the second half.

All that being said, I am just happy to see Janet finding her way again, I think she's a genius. I'm hoping she will continue with this metamorphasis and the next CD will even better than this. Because the great songs on this CD are GREAT...if only there were more of the same.

Keep it up
I want to start off by saying that SEXUALITY, WOMEN and MUSIC are meant to be. This measures across all forms of music, it's what makes us gravitate towards female artists. Let's look as far back as the Elvis Period of music..sexuality has always been a player in the recording business. The difference between then and now is simply the evolution of sexual freedom and exploration. It's there in country music in it's own subtle way, it's in latin music in it's own subtle way..it's everywhere. I say these things in the beginning because it amazes me that in 2008 most americans act as if this is something new and they can't process this.

Janet and Madonna BOTH inject sexuality into their crafts. Madonna pushing 50 and Janet 41. Our culture loves a gal that doesn't give up and these two ladies fit that mold.

This efford for Janet is GREAT ! LOVED IT ! Janet's last two albums have been a means for her to jump back after the fall-out. When we as human beings experience a fall-out on the level as Janet experienced it takes time to bounce back, but keep in mind that she didn't fall off the face of the earth either. Strong,Black Women ENDURE...Plain and Simple. I think this album definately puts her in better standing now than her last album.

Let's not forget Madonna's SEX BOOK Episode and how outraged americans were about her and how they dogged her for about 5 albums after that. Now if Madonna sneezes we run to church to pray for her...LOL.

What I love is the most about this album is the updated concept which infuses Japanese, High Tech Visuals and sounds. Exploring new levels of yourself musically should be celebrated instead of criticized. I know that Janet has for years developed her own sound, but if she changes we should be open to what she has to show us. Imagine being a painter and finally one day getting your work displayed in the best gallery in the world..THEN have critics describe your work as being AWFUL,TASTELESS,etc. What makes a critic understand the mind of the artist in their creative process?
