Janet Jackson is releasing her first album in seven years later this year.
The singer has announced on her website that the album, not yet titled, will be released on her own label, Rhythm Nation Records, via Bertelsmann Music Group.
She announced last month in a minute-long video that she was returning to music, with plans to launch a world tour and the news became a hot topic on social media.
