Janet Jackson‘s return to music is edging closer and closer after we just gave you juicy new details this week now even more details have begun to surface. Janet might as well have called her album the Elusive Chanteuse based on how secretly she is moving and gearing this return up.
According to Styleite.com popular music streaming service Spotify made a big mistake and accidentally posted an upcoming tour date for the legendary pop singer which coincidentally coincides with the alleged release of her rumored new album.
Spotify reportedly posted info on an upcoming show at Comerica Theatre on July 28th in Phoenix, Arizona.
According to the site when they contacted Comerica Theatre
“they attempted to stay tight-lipped about Jackson’s concert. “Janet was scheduled to perform here on July 28th,” a representative told me before putting me on hold. Is it cancelled, I asked? “For right now, I’d suggest you keep calling back,” she indicated. So Janet did schedule something for July 28th? How interesting it is that the show was scheduled but three weeks after an alleged album was slated to drop? And why is it still showing up in the Comerica system?
Other ticket sites like SeatGeek have populated the same July 28thth listing. “It’s hard to track where the listing initiated within our local markets,” a representative told me. When pressed on whether the show could be a fluke, he added “It’s probably a legitimate show.” But to be safe, SeatGeek has taken down the date until more information leaks in.
So will Janet give the nation some new rhythm in July? Probably. But more importantly, will goof-ups like the Spotify announcement ruin most artists’ abilities to surprise us with new work?
In November, Amazon beat Beyonce to the punch by announcing a pre-order to her four-disc compilation album. After that, video streaming site VEVO teased the visuals to the Nicki Minaj-assisted remix to “Flawless”, and ruined the surprise that everyone’s favorite Queen Bey would team up with everyone’s favorite Queen Barbie. And famously, Interscope (mistakenly?) released Kendrick Lamar’s album, To Pimp A Butterfly before its release date, prompting a Cookie Lyons-like tweet from the Top Dawg CEO that has since been deleted.
Get ready Jan fans! its coming!!
