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.

No Comments on London dance group film BurnItUp! tribute

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.

Janet’s European vibe

Janet Jackson live at Royal Albert Hall London

So a little thought occurred to me yesterday as I was listening to the Damita Jo album. Some of my favourite Janet tracks of recent years are European produced or written. Producers like Stargate and writers like Cathy Dennis have given Janet some of her best tracks in my opinion.

Now, does that mean that because I’m British I affiliate more with such songs? Or does it just mean that the songs are actually bloody good and have an international reach?

For those of you that aren’t sure which tracks I’m talking about, they include: 2nite, Island Life, All Nite (Don’t Stop) and Slolove.

In fact, I’d be bold enough to say that I think Janet should work with Stargate on a whole album of up-tempo stuff – because (in my opinion again!) that’s the best material she produces! But maybe that’s just because I’m a British/European music lover.

I’d welcome your thoughts – especially Transatlantic ones.
