After sparking speculation with a social media black-out, Jennifer Lopez has returned and officially announced her first traditional album in eight years.
Full story below…
Moments ago, J.Lo celebrated the 20th anniversary of her third studio album ‘This Is Me…Then’ by announcing a thematic sequel of sorts, ‘This Is Me…Now.’
It marks the diva’s first English-language LP since 2014’s ‘A.K.A.’
Peep the reveal video (which saw her recreate the original’s cover before transforming and celebrating her present self).
Set for a 2023 release, Lopez said of the 13-track project:
“This album is a philosophy, a reflection, a zeitgeist moment. It’s about hope, faith and true love never dying.”
Check out the tracklist, which includes an ode to former-flame-turned-new-husband Ben Affleck:
This is Me … Now
1. This Is Me … Now
2. To Be Yours
3. Mad in Love
4. Can’t Get Enough
5. Rebound
6. not. going. anywhere.
7. Dear Ben pt. ll
8. Hummingbird
9. Hearts and Flowers
10. Broken Like Me
11. This Time Around
12. Midnight Trip to Vegas
13. Greatest Love Story Never Told

Granted the dual celebration of an old album and the announcement of a new one are arguably a little confusing/convoluted, but we’re buzzed for what’s incoming.
Say whatever folk will, there’s no denying that J.Lo has continued to age like a fine wine – most notably as a performer.
