Janet Jackson just revealed that a new album and world tour are on the way. The legendary singer took to Instagram to announce her new project, which is titled Black Diamond, and then appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon to ensure everyone got the memo.
In the post caption, Ms. Jackson revealed the meaning behind the album's title. "I see myself as a Black Diamond in its purest form. I’m a rock, I have ruff edges but I keep moving forward. I want to show you my strength as well as give you strength."
