Let’s Wait Awhile? Not any longer. Janet Jackson is releasing her first album in seven years this fall. The pop icon said on her website Wednesday that the album, not yet titled, will be released on her own label, Rhythm Nation Records, via Bertelsmann Music Group. Her last studio album was 2008’s Discipline. Jackson’s catalogue of hits dates back to the mid-1980s, ranging from What Have You Done for Me Lately to That’s the Way Love Goes to All for You.
