Janet Jackson’s musical comeback is off to a steamy start, which comes as no surprise to her legions of fans across the world.  For the first time since her last album, Discipline, in 2008, the ESSENCE FEST alum released a new single entitled, No Sleep, on June 22.

The social media maven sent out a tweet at 9am with a link to the full single on her YouTube page.  According to her post, this sensual song is dedicated to her husband of three years, Wissam Al Mana.

The vibe of the three minute song is familiar to her Red Velvet Rope days, as the youngest of the Jackson dynasty predicts a sleepless night with the one she loves, after missing them for a long period of time.  Plus, her longtime producers and no. 1 hitmakers, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, created the seductive single.  
Listen to the full single, below.
