Ben Affleck serves as inspiration for JLo’s forthcoming album. Jennifer Lopez, the renowned American singer, boasts a career spanning over 30 years. While she initially gained recognition as a singer, Lopez has achieved notable success in acting. Additionally, she is celebrated for her contributions to fashion and philanthropy, solidifying her status as one of the most influential Latin stars.
During the first half of 2023, Latin music revenue soared to unprecedented $627 million. While music represents only a fraction of Jennifer Lopez’s annual earnings, her impact on the music industry remains substantial.
In November 2022, on the twentieth anniversary of the release of “This is me… Then,” Jennifer Lopez announced her upcoming album titled “This is me… Now“. This exciting news has delighted fans who have eagerly awaited a new album from J.Lo for nearly a decade. While there isn’t an exact release date yet, the announcement indicates that it will be out by the end of 2023.
“This is me… Now” serves as a sequel to “This is me… Then” and continues the romantic narrative of Jennifer Lopez and actor Ben Affleck. The album even includes a follow-up to the song “Dear Ben” titled “Dear Ben Part II,” further exploring this theme. Jennifer Lopez has openly acknowledged that her reconnection with Ben Affleck has been the primary inspiration for this album, which is set to be released by the end of 2023. Notably, this will be the first album in which the singer will share personal, honest music.
“People think they know things about what happened to me along the way, the men I was with — but they really have no idea, and a lot of times they get it so wrong.
There’s a part of me that was hiding a side of myself from everyone. And I feel like I’m at a place in my life, finally, where I have something to say about it.”
said Lopez
What’s particularly intriguing is the brief video teaser that Jennifer Lopez used to announce her upcoming album. In a matter of seconds, Lopez and the old album cover transform into their “new versions”.
The recording of the album was completed already on 29/06/2023, so now we are waiting for the official release date of the new album “This is me… Now”.
