19 March 08 : Essence.com Interview
Janet Jackson: Still On Top
The veteran dishes on her new album, staying disciplined and the young competition

Janet Jackson is more than a long-lasting force in the entertainment industry. She’s a part of American history. Her breakthrough 1986 album Control was honored with twelve American Music Award nominations, a record that has yet to be broken, and she’s the first Black female recording artist to receive a Grammy nomination for Producer of the Year.

Here she talks to
Essence.com about her new album Discipline, being a pioneer and the young competition.

Essence.com: After more than twenty years of recording, why do you need discipline?

Janet Jackson: Discipline has always been a part of me. When I started to perform onstage with my brothers and sisters, I would do my own hair. And not just in a messy way that a little kid would do, it had to be very neat. That's a lot of discipline for a kid and I’ve always had that.

Essence.com: You once said that you view everyone as competition. Who do you see as competition now?

J.J.: Everyone! I still feel the same way. Even though I do feel there's room for everyone as long as I'm first—no, I’m just kidding! [Laughs] I grew up competitive. We even grew up like that as brothers and sisters, but it's a healthy competition. It keeps me going. It keeps me moving the way music and other things do.

Essence.com: "Discipline" is your first album since you left Virgin. How is the creative process different being on Island Def Jam?

J.J: There's a huge difference. When I first joined Virgin Records we connected and spent a lot of time together similar to a family. Then, a lot of people left. It was a new group of people and we didn’t always see eye to eye. At that point it was time for me to move on and I did.

Essence.com: We always hear horror stories of artists trying to leave their label. How were you able to move on?

J.J.: I saw LA Reid at Oprah's Legends Ball. We’ve been friends for years plus he’s wanted to work with me since my early days at Virgin. He asked me when my contract would end and I told him that I was working on my last album. It started from there.

Essence.com: For a while, you were one of the few Black female artists with worldwide success. What role do you think you've had in changing the landscape for women of color in the music industry?

J.J.: I’ve held the door open a little wider and that's the way it should be. There were people before me who helped make it a lot easier for myself, like Diana Ross, Eartha Kitt and Lena Horne. I did things to try to make it better for those coming up behind me so it wouldn’t be as difficult.

Essence.com: Are there any plans to tour this album?

J.J: Yes, the idea is to tour at the end of summer. We were actually in full tour mode with the band and dancers for the last album. But the label called and asked if we would make a new album, then go on a tour.

Janet Jackson’s new album Discipline is in stores now.

-DISCIPLINE Is Number One!
 
Discipline marks Janet’s first #1 Soundscan album debut in nearly seven years, since All For You in May 2001.

“Janet delivered an amazing album and Island Def Jam is on a mission to deliver big results for her in every way,” said Mr. Reid. "Janet is musical royalty who only deserves the very best.”

Discipline was launched on the morning of the album release (February 26th) with a live performance at the Nokia Theatre on New York’s Times Square, broad­cast on ABC’s Good Morning America. Another Times Square performance happened that afternoon, broadcast by MTV’s TRL. Just a few blocks away, pandemonium took over Best Buy for Janet’s in-store CD signing event, which attracted 5000 fans.

Across the country two days later (Thursday), Janet stopped traffic again at her Virgin Megastore CD signing event. Later that night on CNN, she was the exclusive guest on Larry King Live. An appearance on the Ellen Show followed the next morning (Friday). Janet’s appearance on the Tyra Banks Show airs March 4, and that same night she is the lead guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

“She a good bad girl,” screamed USA Today’s headline of its 3 star album review by Steve Jones. “Sexual tension reverberates throughout Janet’s latest,” he wrote, “as she works out the kinks on the dance floor but saves some for the bedroom.” The review goes on to praise the album’s “bumping club grooves and quirky sound effects.”

The week before Discipline’s release came news of Janet’s 2008 NAACP Image Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the #1 box office smash Why Did I Get Married? The comedy-drama written, produced, directed, and starring Tyler Perry, opened #1 at the box office. It 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).

Discipline is the 10th studio album (and overall 13th album) of Janet Jackson’s career. In addition to Rodney Jerkins, who produced “Feedback,” the new album brings together an A-list of guest producers, including Jermaine Dupri, Ne-Yo, Stargate, Tricky Stewart, and The-Dream.

Prior to album release, “Feedback” was named Janet’s biggest-selling digital single ever, and the video (by British director Saam Farahmand) is currently in major video channel rotation on BET, MTV, VH1, and VH1 Soul.

In a class all by herself, 5-time Grammy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated Janet Jackson – singer, composer, producer, actor, and humanitarian – celebrated two career milestones in 2007: the 30th anniversary of her beginning as a TV star in her own right on “Good Times” (in 1977), and the 25th anniversary of her debut as a solo record­ing artist on A&M Records (in 1982).

Stay tuned for the upcoming announcement on one of the most anticipated tours this year
