Janet Jackson Shuts Down Rumors Of A New Album

Looks like a false alarm.

It was recently reported that Janet Jackson has been in the studio working on a new album but the "Any Time, Any Place" singer took to Twitter to shut that rumor down.

"If there is a new project, you'll hear it from my lips," Jackson tweeted.

News that there is no new album in the works comes as a disappointment to some as it has been six years since Jackson's last release, Discipline.

The album featured hits like "Rock With U," and "Feedback."

As previously reported, R&B record producer Ian Cross announced Jackson was in fact working on a new album.

"The Janet Jacksons of the world can't just spend their time in one studio in one city anymore...we've been working in Qatar. We've been working in Paris, the Middle East, and now we feel like we can work anywhere," Cross said. "The new album is going to be great. It's a process. There's a lot in store, yet to come. I can't go into too many details but I think Janet Jackson's fans are going to be very excited about the new album, and I think people who don't know her as fans are going to be excited about it, too."

Cross also talked at length about his work and relationship with Jackson in his Barefoot Sound interview. "Janet [Jackson] and I had a little bit more of a special relationship because we became friends naturally," Cross said. "You meet a lot of people and you become friends with a couple of them, but sometimes there is one person you become really good friends with. She asked me to work on an album with her called Discipline in 2007 and, again, just do the same thing, produce the vocals. That led to her hiring me full-time to work with her. That's where I'm at now."
