The last album of Jackson was in 2015, Unbreakable.
Her latest release would be called Black Diamond. There is not so much information regarding it yet, including the release date.
According to the singer, it is named Black Diamond because “It’s the toughest of the stones, of the diamonds, to cut. I heard that immediately. It’s hard to hurt, to destroy. And in my last few years, I’ve come to realize that I’m incredibly strong.”
