Janet Jackson’s new song ‘No Sleeep’ unveiled
Track is the first new music from the singer in more than five years
Janet Jackson is officially back.
After announcing a new album and tour on her birthday last month, the pop diva on Monday unveiled No Sleeep, her first new music in more than five years.
The track is the first single from the untitled album.
On the slow jam, which she dedicated to her “love” (Jackson quietly married in 2012), she promises a lover a long night of passion.
“It’s going to be a weekend marathon/ so you better get ready my king/ ‘cause I’ma be the queen of insomnia,” she sings.
The track is sexy and smooth in its melodies and a welcome throwback to Jackson’s groove-heavy, candlelit R’n’B of the ‘90s (we suggest revisiting 1993’s Janet).
For No Sleeep, Jackson reunited with longtime producers and friends Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and that is likely to be welcome news for fans.
The pair hasn’t led one of her projects since 2006’s 20 Y.O.
Jackson’s new album, due in autumn, will be released on BMG and her own Rhythm Nation imprint.
