In August 2014, producer and engineer Ian Cross, who worked on her last three studio albums, confirmed in an interview with studio monitor manufacturer Barefoot Sound that he was working on Jackson's new album, stating, 'The new album is going to be great. She announced in May 2015, that she would embark on the Unbreakable World Tour and release her eleventh studio album through her newly formed, independent record label as a result of a partnership between herself and BMG. Later that year, she also revealed that she was married to her third husband, Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana. In 2013, she indicated she was once again working on a new record. UMe and A&M later released her third compilation Icon: Number Ones (2010) as the debut of the Icon album series, designed to feature 'the greatest hits, signature tunes and fan favorites of the most popular artists in music history.' After starring in feature films Why Did I Get Married Too? and For Colored Girls in 2010, she embarked on the world concert tour Number Ones, Up Close and Personal in 2011 to promote her second compilation. Although she began recording new material with producer Rodney Jerkins, she eventually abandoned the project, still unwilling to specify whether she intended to sign with a major label or release music independently. As a joint venture with EMI, Universal Music Enterprises subsequently released her second greatest hits compilation, Number Ones (2009) under A&M Records.
