Janet Jackson, J. Cole Remix 'No Sleeep' Ahead of New Album Plans

The new song made its radio debut on Thursday (July 23), and Billboard reports that it was recorded roughly two weeks ago at Jackson's home studio in Los Angeles, just weeks after Jackson was spotted at one of Cole's concerts in the city.

The remix features Cole providing hype noises behind Jackson's soft, sultry vocals throughout the start of the song. When it comes to his own verse, Cole sings about being unable to stay away from a love and their complimentary lifestyles, even if it's not always for the best.

"I go my way, you go yours / You taste real life, I taste tours / Sweet at first but after a while too much sugar is bad for your smile / And I wear a frown now 'cause I miss for real / Miss the warm house and home cooked meals / You miss junk food, that's why we work / You bring cooked food, I bring dessert," Cole raps, with a notably relaxed style.

"No Sleeep" is the lead single from Jackson's planned new album, which is due for release sometime this autumn, however, full details including an album title or exact release date are unannounced. Jackson will follow the release of her new LP with her Unbreakable World Tour, which will kick off on Aug. 31 and continue through the first months of 2016.
