JLo Chats with Zane Lowe About Music & Love

 
Jennifer Lopez spoke with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in a new interview released today! The interview covers a wide range of topics related to ‘This Is Me…Then’ and how it relates to her upcoming album, ‘This Is Me…Now’.

JLo reflects on the conversation behind the title of the album ‘This Is Me…Then’, which spawned the hit “Jenny from the Block” and captured the chapter of her life where she met her soulmate. In a wide-ranging conversation, she discusses the uncanny experience of writing the future of her love story with Ben, feeling most musically inspired when she is in love, facing heartbreak publicly, and reuniting with the love of her life. This was a really great interview, so I highly recommend you take the time to watch!

JLo Announces New Album: This Is Me…Now!


Jennifer Lopez has announced a new musical era! Watch the very cool announcement above! Her upcoming album, which will be released next year, is called ‘This Is Me…Now’!

Per a press release, ‘This Is Me…Now’ chronicles the “emotional, spiritual and psychological journey that she has taken over the past two decades. An emotionally raw and honest project, unlike any she has produced before, she writes and sings about her life and experiences that will resonate with us all. In addition, these autobiographical stories informed by the album will result in other very personal projects that will be released next year…more to come on that.”

The album will shine “a spotlight on her tough childhood, unsuccessful relationships and the incredible emotional journey she has been on.”  It is also described as “a philosophy, a reflection, a zeitgeist moment. It’s about hope, faith and true love never dying.” This is all very exciting!

JLo Goes ‘Dark’ on Social Media

Big things must be in the works in JLo-land because her social media pages have gone dark! All of her Instagram posts have been removed along with her profile photo and her Twitter and TikTok profile pics are also blacked out.

Jennifer Lopez Covers Vogue

Jennifer Lopez is on the cover of the December issue of VOGUE! Jennifer discussed a wide range of topics in the interview, including her marriage to Ben Affleck, her current film project, Atlas, and new music!!

Here’s an excerpt:

Lopez has grand, multimedia plans for her current musical project. She wants to create a musical odyssey in the manner of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, she says—but with a message about hope and love. Perhaps the most poignant moment in Halftime, the documentary about her Super Bowl year released on Netflix last June, occurs when Lopez is reading out loud from an article about herself in Glamour. “It’s thrilling to see a criminally underrated performer”—here she pauses, and tears well in her eyes—“get her due from prestige film outlets.” In fact Lopez did not quite get her due, having been denied an Academy Award nomination, which some in the industry viewed as a snub. A Grammy continues to elude her, too. Despite her stardom, she has spent years fighting for credibility, and for all her artistic accomplishment, to some people she is, simply, Jennifer Lopez for a living. This hurts less than it once did.

“I’ve always felt like an outsider, in the fashion world, the music world, the movie world,” she explains. “I feel like everybody knows each other and all the artists talk, and you go to the Met ball and all the girls are hanging out together, and I’m not in that group. Maybe that’s just insecurity. It’s not because I’m antisocial or I don’t want to make friends. I’ve always been kind of a march-to-the-beat-of-my-own-drum, loner-type person. I’m like, I’ll just stay focused on my thing. I’ve always kind of felt like that. I still do. But I try! It used to be about the idea of validation in other people’s eyes. It really used to be. Because I wanted to be part of the club. But I don’t anymore. There’s something bigger that I’m after. It’s about touching people’s lives and being touched.”
