Janet Jackson is headlining the Essence Music Festival
Jackson posted the video of herself stretching days ahead of her planned performance at Essence Music Festival. The singer will headline the annual music festival on July 2.
Leading up to her performance at the festival, Jackson was interviewed by Essence. In the interview, Jackson was asked about returning to performing and if she is working on new music.
“It’s so funny because I see the fans asking, ‘When are we going to get Black Diamond?’ ‘Will you please release?’ Sometimes things happen that you don’t expect to happen, and you have to figure things out—or you’re in a space in your life when you have to take a step back and take a break for a minute,” Jackson answered.
While she could not reveal a definite date, Jackson did confirm she will release new music at some point.
“Even though it’s something that I absolutely love, it still is my work, my job. There will be music at some point. Exactly when? I can’t say just yet, but there will be. I love it too much not to do it. This is all I know. There’s so much that I want to do—but my number one job is being a mama,” she told Essence.
The singer recently released a documentary
In January 2022, the documentary Janet Jackson premiered on both Lifetime and A&E. During her interview with Essence, Jackson explained what it was like seeing the documentary.
“I realized certain patterns I had in my personal life, in my career. Certain things I never thought about. Five years is a good amount of time to have someone follow you around like that,” Jackson told Essence.
The singer also affirmed that it felt “important for” her to make a documentary about her life.
“For me, it was what it was—whether you liked it or not. It’s my life story and my family. It was important for me to do it, because I had the opportunity to tell my story and not have someone tell it for me. I know I got it right,” she shared.
