\u00a0 \u00a0Janet Jackson, well known for her songs \u201cThat\u2019s The Way Love Goes\u201d and \u201cTogether Again,\u201d has arrived with new music for the first time in three years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Jacksons new single, titled \u201cMade For Now\u201d is all about living in the moment and accepting who we are now. Featured in the single is Daddy Yankee, this being the first time the two have worked together on music. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI am a huge fan of latin music,\u201d says Jackson in regards to why she wanted Daddy Yankee to be apart of this single.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Jackson said, \u201cI\u2019ve always listened to different styles of music, and being in different parts of the world whether it be something on television or something on the radio and being introduced to different types of music,\u201d when asked what inspired her on this single.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0In the music video Jackson continues to use her bright colors and personal outfits, in one part wearing a large decorated gown on a tall roof. Jackson brought in dancers from across the world to contribute to the music video.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Jackson is the youngest sibling in the Jackson family, who is responsible for the Jackson 5 producing the pop legend Michael Jackson. Janet has performed since 1974, her first stage appearance with her family in the Jackson 5 singing and doing impressions in a Las Vegas show. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Jackson did some time as an actress from 1977 to 1984, until she graduated high school and married James DeBarge, though the marriage lasted a very short time. Her musical career really developed in 1982 when she released her debut album, \u201cJanet Jackson.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0This start would lead her to becoming one of the top selling contemporary artists ever, appearing on talk shows, performing across the world, and selling music to millions across the globe. \u201cMade For Now\u201d is currently featured on Spotify\u2019s New Music Friday and is her most downloaded song.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Jackson, visited New York, performing \u201cMade For Now\u201d on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Friday, Aug. 17, 2018. Fallon gave credit to Jackson as a \u201cglobal icon and one of the best selling artists of all time.\u201d The performance that followed was huge, with plenty of dancers and bright costumes. This was the first time the two performed the song live.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0To end her visit to New York, Jackson threw a block party in Harlem on Saturday, as part of the annual #HarlemWeek celebration. #HarlemWeek is an opportunity for New Yorkers to get together and encourage one another as a community, and has been going on since 1974. It likes to highlight the diverse culture there, with a mix of African, African-American, European, and Caribbean heritage throughout the area, inspiration Jackson had when writing \u201cMade For Now\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Jackson is set to revisit New York on Sept. 29 to headline the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0She hasn\u2019t made comment as to whether an album will follow. You can find her single on most major music platforms, to include iTunes, Spotify and Apple Music.<\/span><\/p>\n
