Janet Jackson Unveils North American “rock Withchu” Tour

Born in 1966 into the now infamous Jackson family of musicians and entertainers, Janet Jackson began her career as early as age seven. After appearing on numerous records and television series and recording two albums throughout her youth, at age twenty, Janet Jackson finally broke out into the mainstream pop charts as an adult female solo artist, with her album Control.

Control

, which debuted in 1986, touched upon various themes, including female sexual identity and independence. Some songs on the album were hard-hitting, while others, such as
Let’s wait a While
, touched on important social issues and helped Jackson build a reputation as a role model for children and young adults. Control also featured five chart-topping hits, including
What Have you Done for me Lately
,
Nasty, When I think of You
,
Control
and
Let’s Wait a While
and ended up selling over eight million global units.

Jackson’s 1989 follow-up to Control, titled Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814, featured a more socially and politically conscious sound. As expected, the album did well commercially, going on to become the first album in history to score number one hits in three consecutive years, with singles released in 1989, 1990 and 1991. Janet’s accompanying Rhythm Nation 1814 tour became the most successful debut tour ever.

While Control and RN 1814 were the most influential albums of Janet’s early career, her work did not stop there. To date, Janet Jackson has put out ten albums, including Janet., The Velvet Rope, All for You and her latest 2008 release, Discipline. To celebrate her latest work, Jackson has announced a massive accompanying North American tour. The Rock Withchu Tour will begin on September 10 in Vancouver and visit various Canadian and American cities, before coming to an end on September 6 in Seattle.
