In an interview with BBC Radio 1Xtra, Janet today confirmed that she will be releasing a new album later this year.
She also spoke about her love of London and its weather, saying that she liked rainy and overcast days.
Listen to the full interview below.
In a photo posted today to her Twitter profile, Janet Jackson has shown off her new baby Eissa for the first time.
The photo was simply captioned “My baby and me after nap time.”
Janet is presently living in London.
Janet arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday night having not been seen since it was announced she would be cancelling her European tour. Janet was accompanied by her husband Wissam Al Mana.
No official announcement has come from Janet or her team, but it’s believed by Janet Love that the decision to cancel was taken by LiveNation.
Janet had previously been rehearsing in London’s Covent Garden at Pineapple Dance Studios whilst staying in the British capital.
The below video is shot by paparazzi and contains them asking Janet questions about her health and the cancellation.

Looking drained and followed by her husband, singer Janet Jackson landed in Los Angeles a few hours ago and was spotted leaving the LAX Airport.We haven't yet heard from her team about the sudden postponement of her concerts in Europe, but sources said LIVE NATION decided unilaterally! According to new rumors, LN pulled the plug without Janet or her team's consent.The Dubai World Cup concert is not produced by Live Nation UK, therefore it is still scheduled for March 26.

Janet has “postponed” her UK tour along with dates in other European cities, according to an email received by fans from ticket company Ticketmaster.
The email claims “scheduling difficulties” as the reason for the announcement.
Janet has been spotted rehearsing for the tour in London for the past few weeks with secret rehearsals taking place at Pineapple Dance Studios in Covent Garden.
Fans in Berlin and Dusseldorf have also received cancellation emails and notifications they will be refunded for their tickets.
Janet Love was set to be front row for Birmingham and London.
Fans also received a voicemail from Ticketmaster confirming the cancellation.
Janet has posted a video this morning from London ahead of performing in the city in just over a month.
Janet, who is visiting the country with her husband Wissam Al-Mana, said she was looking forward to bringing her tour to Europe.

Janet has released “The Great Forever” to radio stations in the UK ahead of the resumption of the Unbreakable World Tour in Birmingham on March 30th.
The song, which has been played several times on BBC Radio 2, is taken from Janet’s Unbreakable album.
Janet was forced to postpone her most recent set of US dates to undergo surgery but is set to resume the tour in the UK with a string of dates that includes Birmingham, London, Manchester and Glasgow before continuing across Europe. She will then return to the United States to play her rescheduled dates.
Janet Love will be at both the Birmingham and London shows and will be tweeting throughout the night.
A London based group has filmed a dance video to Janet’s current single BurnItUp!.
Filmed on the streets of London, including outside the O2 where Janet will be performing in March next year, the group’s video is already gaining lots of traction on YouTube.
Undoubtedly one of the best videos shot to the song so far and showcasing the city, the project was created and produced by Tobias Ellehammer and directed by Mike Dones.
Here at Janet Love we couldn’t be more proud of seeing London based dancers paying tribute to Janet.
About the project Tobias said:
I wanted to create a project that would bring people together and deliver the message of the importance in having a versatile and open mindset. We should really all try to stay versatile and support each other. Let’s appreciate how different we all are and grow together. Learning from each other’s gifts and differences. It’s not about what style you do. It’s about the love for dance that we all share. I wanna give a massive thanks to all the people involved that took time out of there schedule to help deliver the message. The amount of talent in this video is beyond any of my expectations and I feel very honored. Enjoy.
