Janet Jackson Album Due In February

Janet Jackson just announced she will be touring with her brothers, including Michael Jackson, in the 2008 Jackson Five world tour. Jackson’s album due to be released in February of 2008 will no doubt ride the wave of publicity surrounding the Jackson Five reununion. Jackson’s new album is being executive produced by Def Jam CEO Antonio "L.A." Reid rather than Jackson’s boyfriend, Island Urban president Jermaine Dupri. Dupri is working on Mariah Carey’s new album, which should be out next spring. Dupri told Billboard in July, "We’re going to make it seem like we’re in competition to see who’s going to have the biggest album of the year." Jackson’s last album was a failure.
