Unbreakable is her seventh No. 1 album. All of her peak-era albums — […]

Months after releasing the excellent “No Sleeep,” she drops the title track of her comeback album as her Unbreakable tour gets underway. As Jackson is wont to do, she switches up the tempo. The 1,000-thread count textures gets subbed out for pop-leaning eccentricities. The song […]

There’s no way that we can say that we’ll be disappointed by the upcoming Janet Jackson tribute on the BET Awards this Sunday because it didn’t happen yet, but we can’t say we’re not a little skeptical by choices of Tinashe and Jason Derulo (who will be joined by Ciara and Chris Brown) to perform. This won’t be […]
