Janet Jackson: A New Era of Music Production and Ownership
Over the past few years, the dynamics of the music industry have seen a considerable shift. One of the most notable developments is the rise of artist-driven music production and ownership, a trend exemplified by none other than the iconic Janet Jackson. In a bold move a few years back, Jackson broke away from the traditional music label system and partnered with BMG to release her highly anticipated comeback album. This innovative approach has not only revolutionized her music journey but also set a new precedent in the industry. Let’s dive deeper into this exciting journey.
A New Chapter in Jackson’s Music Journey
As originally reported by Radio Facts , Jackson’s partnership with BMG marked the release of her first album in seven years. But, it was more than just another album release. This collaboration symbolized the birth of Rhythm Nation, Janet Jackson’s very own record label.

With the formation of Rhythm Nation, Janet Jackson became arguably the first female African-American recording artist to own her record label. The label is not just a personal venture but a platform to support both upcoming and established recording artists.
Changing the Traditional Record Label System
The BMG partnership revolutionized Jackson’s approach to music production. She became the biggest worldwide superstar to quit the traditional record label system for an artist services deal. This type of agreement allows the artist to retain ownership of their recordings and have full oversight of all costs and revenues.
Continuing the Legacy
With over 160 million records sold worldwide, Janet Jackson is one of the best-selling and most awarded artists of all time. Her influence on pop culture is undeniable, and her decision to take control of her music production has further solidified her legacy.
A Word From BMG
BMG CEO Hartwig Masuch expressed his excitement at the partnership, stating, “Janet is not just a supreme artist, she is a unique cultural force. It is an honor that she has chosen BMG to release her long-awaited new album. We look forward to collaborating with her across every platform.”
