This stuff has been going on for over a year now. But if she's back in America already for no obvious reason it might be adding up with that tentative 10/7 release.

Spin magazine just released their list of the best 300 albums of the past 30 years. Three entries is the maximum per artist, by the way. 234. Control 164. janet. 54. Rhythm Nation 1814 I'm slightly surprised The Velvet Rope wasn't included over Control.....but you just can't deny Control's breakthrough impact and influence on pop & R&B music.

Rhythm Nation is so overrated... TVR deserved that spot. Unarguably.

I'm loving this Conversations in a Café! I really hope it's the theme of this album.

Conversations in a Cafe... The Barbra Streisand version of Confessions On A Dancefloor?
I need a press conference, not a conversation.

Spin has published a list of the 300 Best Albums of the Past 30 Years. Damita has three entries:
234. Janet Jackson, Control (A&M, 1986)
A blockbuster of sneaky proportions — six out of the nine tracks were top-20 hits, all but one reaching the top five — whose message declaring the former Good Times star “all grown up” was delivered loud and clear by the peerlessly whip-smart “Nasty” and “What Have You Done For Me Lately.” Even the non-singles have endured: Closer “Funny How Time Flies” was recently sampled wholesale by obvious Janet acolyte Tinashe on her breakout album, Aquarius. —ANDREW UNTERBERGER
164. Janet Jackson, janet. (Virgin, 1993)
The cover, a cropped photo of a topless Janet Jackson with her then-husband’s hands over her breasts, was no “wardrobe malfunction.” Michael’s younger sister had celebrated personal empowerment on 1986’s precocious Control and gotten conceptual about society on 1989’s landmark Rhythm Nation 1814, all while pioneering, with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the R&B, dance-pop, and hip-hop hybrid known as New Jack Swing.
It’s janet. — pointedly, “Janet, period” — that most informs contemporary pop, though, as Jackson (again abetted by Jam and Lewis) celebrates grown-up intimacy with an ambitious savvy to almost merit her then-unprecedented label payout. janet. made the tradition of Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On safe for Britney Spears’ Blackout, with such a broad influence that it has recently been sampled by Kendrick Lamar and covered by singer-songwriter Natalie Prass. Jackson would continue to evolve, for a time; but if janet. can ultimately show up Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl snafu, now that would be poetic justice. — MARC HOGAN
54. Janet Jackson, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 (A&M, 1989)
Forget Michael, let’s talk about his baby sister — oops, the all-grown-up Miss Jackson. Sexy and self-assured and socially conscious, Janet’s fourth album is jaw-dropping in the sheer number of hit singles it produced. The slinky, flirty “Miss You Much” is the apex of ’80s dance-pop; “Love Will Never Do (Without You)” is an unforgettable anthem even without the iconic Herb Ritts-directed video. And though the dream team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis turns everything to gold, Jackson was under-recognized for being the album’s co-producer as well. In the process, she became as big a turn-of-the-decade star as Madonna, and maybe even a bigger one than her brother. — REBECCA HAITHCOAT

I really don't want a "modern day rhythm nation." When veteran artists piggyback off past success the results are usually abysmally because of comparisons. If she is going to talk about social issues then great but don't reference rhythm nation in the process.

NOT the rumored release date popping up on her official site... I didn't see that coming.
+ I think that if she's gonna talk about social issues on her new album It's gonna be compared to RN1814 whenever she likes it or not...

I'm so here for a socially conscious record from her! I think it would help remind people why she is great and secure her legacy. And it would be different than what most pop singers are doing today. Come on Janet, slay us with conversations in a café!

Janet has touched on social issues not only on RN1814, but also on janet. (new agenda) and TVR (together again, what about, free xone). Sure, there will be comparisons to RN1814, but don't freak out, it's just one article.
