Set to drop on October 2, 2015 through her Rhythm Nation Records label and its distribution partner BMG, the LP features Missy Elliott and J. Cole , the latter of whom assists the lead single, No Sleeep .”

Since its release on June 22, 2015, “No Sleeep” has secured the top spot on the Adult R&B chart for a second time this week, and also tops Urban Adult Contemporary. It has peaked at #18 on US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and #63 on Hot 100.

A Dave Meyers -directed video for the song debuted in July. Watch below.

Last month, Janet offered fans a snippet of “The Great Forever” on Apple Music. Listen below.

Janet reunited with producer/songwriter superstars Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for Unbreakable , which will mark the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking collaboration on her Control album.

“It’s wonderful to be creating again with Janet,” said Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. “From songwriting, producing, arranging, singing, dancing, acting, she deftly does it all and truly personifies the word artist. Unbreakable is a gift to all of her fans who have steadfastly stood by her. It is a subject for conversation, a plea for compassion, and a call for action from someone who’s come a long way, but’s got a long way to go, and has much to say about it. In other words, if you want to know what’s on her mind you only have to listen.”
