In a new interview with EURweb, producer Jimmy Jam, while speaking about the upcoming reunion album with The Time, said that he would like to work with Janet again:
Jam also spoke about another reunion - one with his good friend Janet Jackson. Jackson, who'd worked with the team of Jam & Lewis for over two decades, but for her 2008 "Discipline" disc, Jackson chose not to have the duo contribute, a choice some fans and industry-ites thought unwise. However, Jam shrugged it off.
"We're not perfect," he said of the Jam & Lewis team. "We don't always make the right decisions. We've done records in our time, luckily not many, but we've done some that weren't the best records to do. We went into all the records with good intentions though. You don't go into it saying, 'Ooh, I'm going to make a bad record.' You go in to make a great record. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We had mad records together for 20 years and she decided to go a different direction and I applaud her for it. I want to see her successful in whatever she does."
Jam said that Jackson certainly doesn't need to do anything; that a new project with them would simply be a want, as is with both the pending and possible discs.
"I think she's anxious to do some work. And [The Time] is back together because we want to be together, not because we need to be together," he said. "If we collaborate with Janet again, and by the way, I never thought that we wouldn't collaborate again. Just because you work with another producer or decide to go the other way, that that closes the door of the possibility. We want to work with her and I think she wants to work with us and if that all happens, then that's what we're going to do."
