A brand new photo of Janet is on the cover of the January 19, 2008 issue of Billboard Magazine.
Update: In the accompanying article, Janet states that Discipline is not a "comeback" album.
"I think a comeback is when you leave and then you ... come back," she tells Billboard with a laugh. "People are always quick to use that word 'comeback,' but I never went anywhere, really."
The article describes the new album as "heavier on dance tracks than seductive jams" and describes the album's title track as "one of her typical frisky bedroom cuts, featuring lyrics like, 'I need some discipline tonight/I've been very bad' and 'Daddy, make me cry.'"
In talking about the way Virgin Records handled her last two album, Janet tells Billboard, "Not to badmouth Virgin, 'cause it was my family for a very long time, but they kind of just lost touch. To only have support of the urban development and for [those two albums] to sell what they did, there's a lot to say for that. [At Island] they all come together, and one department knows what the other department is doing. You need to really move forward. It's teamwork, and that's what Virgin lost."
She also tells Billboard that she hopes to tour in support of Discipline in mid- to late summer.
The issue is on newsstands now.
