When I was a little girl,
when someone asked me what I wanted to be, when I grew up,
my answer was always
let's get loud because we have a release date for J Lo's ninth studio
album. This is me. Now the singer announces that this is me now will drop
February 16th, 2024. And with it, a corresponding film, a November 27th
press release notes. The this is me. Now, the film quote is like nothing
you've ever seen from JL, a narrative driven, intimate, reflective, sexy,
funny, fantastical, and highly entertaining, musical and visual
reimagining of her publicly scrutinized love life. While this is me now marks
Lopez's first new album since 20 fourteen's A K A. It also marks the
culmination of her journey in the more than two decades since her 2002 album.
This is Me then dropped. The film directed by Dave Myers promises to
include quote, impressive choreography, star studded, cameos, costumes, sets
and blockbuster worthy visuals. Although an astonishing vivid spectacle,
the film is ultimately a heartfelt ode to JLS journey of self healing and
everlasting belief in fairy tale endings. Of course, this includes
Lopez's love story with husband Ben Affleck who after getting engaged and
splitting in the early 2000 s rekindled romance in 2021 in January, the singer
appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live where she opened up about the new album and how
the couple getting back together was kind of like a miracle album I want to
talk about. And the song because the album, you say what the album title is
or is that a, this is Me now? So I did an album 20 years ago. That was
obviously that had a song called Dear Ben on it. That was about the time that
me and Ben were together then. And uh I got very inspired when we got back
together. It was kind of like a miracle and something that neither one of us
really ever thought would happen. And uh I went into the studio and I, and I
wrote an album in like two months, boom done and I have it and I'm prepping it
to come out now. Is that a lot of pressure on Ben? You go in, you write a
song about him now. He's like to be the muse. I guess I do now. Like, do I
write a movie about Jen? I mean, what am I supposed to do? Not necessary.
It's just, that's how I express myself. I don't know what the very, very
excited for everybody to hear. There's a dear Ben part two on your new album.
Yeah. I don't have those lyrics but dear Ben part one, the lyrics where
you're perfect. I just can't control myself. I can't be with no one else. It
seems I'm addicted to the way you like to touch me.
I don't think they understand why I love at your command. I love at your
command. Yeah. No, it was just like a sexy song. I was younger then, but I
felt like those lyrics are really innocent. This album obviously is 20
years older and so are we?
