The 49-year-old superstar hasn't released a new album for seven years, but after nearly a decade of waiting fans will be pleased to know her forthcoming LP Unbreakable hits shelves on October 2.

According to a press release published on her website, Janet reteamed with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis while writing tracks for the offering.

"It's wonderful to be creating again with Janet," Jimmy and Terry gushed in the statement. "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."

The press release noted Janet will be reflecting on late brother Michael Jackson and her youth in the album.

The Unbreakable tracklisting was also revealed. The LP has 17 songs in total which are entitled Unbreakable, Burnitup! featuring Missy Elliott, Dammn Baby, The Great Forever, Shoulda Known Better, After You Fall, Broken Hearts Heal, Night, No Sleeep featuring J Cole, Dream Maker/ Euphoria, 2 B Loved, Take Me Away, Promise, Lessons Learned, Black Eagle, Well Traveled, Gon B Alright.
