Jennifer Lopez, the global superstar and icon, has released her ninth studio album, This Is Me\u2026 Now, on February 16, 2024. The album, which is her first solo project in ten years, since A.K.A. (2014), is a musical celebration of her love for her husband, Ben Affleck, whom she reunited with and married in 2022, after their previous engagement ended in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Is Me\u2026 Now is a sequel to Lopez\u2019s third studio album, This Is Me\u2026 Then (2002), which was dedicated to Affleck at the time and featured songs like \u201cDear Ben\u201d and \u201cJenny from the Block\u201d. The new album, which is written and executive produced by Lopez and Rog\u00e9t Chahayed, along with Jeff \u201cGitty\u201d Gitelman and Hit-Boy, explores the themes of love, healing, and happiness, as Lopez reflects on her journey with Affleck and how they found each other again after two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The album consists of 12 tracks, including the lead single \u201cCan\u2019t Get Enough\u201d, a catchy pop song that expresses Lopez\u2019s desire and passion for Affleck, and the second single \u201cRebound\u201d, a sultry R&B track that features Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA and addresses the rumors and criticism that surrounded their relationship. Other highlights include \u201cTo Be Yours\u201d, a soulful ballad that features vocals from legendary singer Chaka Khan, \u201cDear Ben, Pt. II\u201d, a sequel to the original song that updates Affleck on Lopez\u2019s life and feelings, and \u201cThis Is Me\u2026 Now\u201d, the title track and closing song that declares Lopez\u2019s happiness and gratitude for her husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The album is accompanied by a film of the same name, which is a \u201cmusical experience\u201d that combines visuals for all the songs with a fictionalized narrative, loosely based on Lopez\u2019s love life with Affleck and her trials as a serial romantic. The film, which is co-written by Lopez, Affleck, Dave Meyers, and Chris Shafer, and directed by Meyers, features a cast of celebrity friends and peers, such as Fat Joe, Trevor Noah, Jane Fonda, Post Malone, Keke Palmer, and Sofia Vergara, among others. The film is available to stream on Apple TV+ and in select theaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lopez\u2019s This Is Me\u2026 Now is a testament to her enduring talent, charisma, and influence, as well as a tribute to her true love, Ben Affleck. The album and the film are both heartfelt and captivating, and showcase Lopez\u2019s versatility and vulnerability as an artist and a person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
