Friday morning, Jennifer Lopez confirmed her plans to release a new album. This would be the follow-up to 2002's This Is Me?, according to Lopez.

The album will also be inspired by her relationship with husband Ben Affleck and is expected to drop in 2023.

The album is titled This Is Me? Now

At Spotify's Stream On event on March 8, Lopez confirmed her album will be her "ninth studio album" and be released this summer.

The album will consist of confessional songs and reflections on her past struggles, as well as upbeat celebrations of love with her signature powerful vocals. It will explore themes related to her difficult childhood, failed relationships and incredible emotional growth throughout this incredible journey.

Many of the tracks on her new album were inspired by her marriage to Ben Affleck, whom she reunited with last year and married again this July in Las Vegas. When the couple first got engaged in 2002, they wrote a song about their relationship for This Is Me? called "Dear Ben," followed by another sequel entitled "Dear Ben pt. II," both featured on the new album.

On her new album, several songs feature romantic titles that further emphasize her connection to Affleck. One track is entitled "Midnight Trip to Vegas," in reference to her wedding to him in July; others include "To Be Yours," "Mad in Love," "Can't Get Enough," and "Hearts and Flowers."

This Is Me? Now may not be her most captivating album, but it still packs a punch with personality. Her commanding performance on the piano power ballad "Another Day" and perseverance anthem "Champion" stand out among other songs on the album; unfortunately, most others are forgettable.

It's impossible to deny Lopez's talents as a performer and singer-songwriter; her music truly sounds like an authentic pop album. However, there are other elements on this record which make it feel more like a child playing dress-up rather than an accomplished artist taking her place in the world.

The album's title track, "The One," is an uninspired cover of Alicia Keys' hit. The production feels forced and the song lacks identity (it even ends in silence). Other highlights include piano-driven power ballad "Another Day" and perseverance anthem "Champion," featuring cheerleader spelling.

It’s a follow-up to her 2002 album This Is Me? Then

The pop icon has revealed she is working on a new album. This will be her first release since 2014's A.K.A, likely featuring an ode to husband Ben Affleck.

The star will release several songs about her relationship with Affleck, including Dear Ben Part II and Midnight Trip to Vegas (reportedly referencing their initial wedding date of 2022). According to a press release, the new album will focus on hope, faith and true love.

Lopez has achieved great success, yet she still keeps a humble attitude and respect for others. She has served as an inspirational role model to other Latinas - particularly women - and is renowned for her charitable work with the Lopez Foundation, which provides assistance to young children in need.

Her debut record On The 6 was released in 1999 and produced several hits, such as "Play" and "Ain't It Funny." For this album she earned both Grammy nominations and a Golden Globe nomination; additionally she starred in the acclaimed biopic Selena which marked the beginning of her career as an international pop star.

She burst onto the scene with her breakthrough hit "Play," a unique blend of dance-pop and electro music that garnered widespread attention and quickly became one of the top played tracks that year.

Jennifer has also starred in several successful films, such as Anaconda and Out of Sight. She earned numerous accolades and became the first Latin actress to earn more than US$1 million for a role in a movie.

In 2002, she released the deeply personal album This Is Me?. On it, she addressed issues from childhood to relationships and faith - using music as a vehicle to share her life with the world. Her songs became part of an effort to share her experience with others.

It was an incredibly successful project, earning quadruple platinum certification and becoming her most successful album to date. Furthermore, it served as a reminder of both her hard-won diva status and humble South Bronx upbringing - which remain deeply embedded in her identity today.

It’s an ode to her husband Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez has come out of the closet and revealed her first full-length album in eight years, an ode to her husband Ben Affleck whom she reunited with 18 years ago in 2021 after 18 years apart. On Friday afternoon, Lopez unveiled the project via social media and said it will be an ode to him.

The album will include songs that showcase her new relationship with Affleck, whom she had been dating for two years before ending their engagement in 2004. Included among the tracks are "Dear Ben Pt. II" and "Midnight Trip to Vegas," a track about their secret July wedding ceremony this July.

On Valentine's Day, Lopez shared a tattoo of herself and her husband on Instagram--a set of crossed and bound arrows vertically flanked by "J" and "B". It serves as a physical reminder of their shared journey through life.

Fans of Lopez and Affleck may have noticed they have been making public appearances together again in recent weeks since their reunion. A few paparazzi photos in June of them walking close to each other and holding hands in California led many to believe they were back together.

Affleck has been seen spending time with Lopez's twins and daughter Emme. Additionally, the "Argo" star visited Universal Studios Hollywood with them and spent some quality family time at the mall.

After returning to Los Angeles, Lopez and Affleck were seen at various locations including a restaurant with Wolfgang Puck where they were photographed walking close together. Additionally, the couple was seen shopping in the Hamptons.

Despite their hectic schedules, the stars were photographed kissing and cuddling in public again. Additionally, they appeared to be having a wonderful time at a wedding in St. Tropez.

Recently, Affleck and Lopez reignited their romance during a week in Montana, where they donned matching tans and were seen kissing. Later that evening, the duo attended the Met Gala together; wearing masks as they shared a passionate embrace on the red carpet.

It’s a philosophy

Jennifer Lopez has announced the release date of her new album: July 21. To her 27.4 million Twitter followers' delight, Jennifer posted an image of the cover featuring her wearing a red vinyl skirt and barely-there top. As anticipation builds for her eighth studio album, it's certain to get fans' hearts racing!

Philosophy is an area of human understanding that explores fundamental questions regarding existence, knowledge, morals and values as well as reason, the mind and language itself. It can be divided into smaller fields like metaphysics, epistemology, logic ethics and aesthetics for further study.

Philosophies differ, yet they all share one fundamental principle: they all rest on the same principles. A philosopher might not be able to provide the equation for projectile velocity, but they can certainly explain why it occurs - which is invaluable information for scientists and mathematicians alike.

The term "philosophy" derives from the Greek words philosophia, meaning "study of wisdom", and logos, meaning "word". It refers to the art of thinking, discussing and debating and has its roots in ancient Greece and China's philosophy.

Philosophers typically view the world through a logic-based lens, which helps them comprehend how things function and why. With this understanding, they use it to construct better theories and make sense of what they observe.

Lopez's latest album is being described as a "philosophy, reflection, zeitgeist moment". It will include songs that discuss her upbringing, failed relationships and eventual love with Ben Affleck.

Affleck and Lopez resumed their relationship in 2021, leading to their marriage the following July. Additionally, the couple stars together in the documentary film Halftime which documents their life together.

At this time, Lopez began releasing non-album singles in both English and Spanish such as "Ain't Your Mama", "El Anillo", and "Dinero". In 2022 she collaborated on a film soundtrack with Maluma and her own movie.

Fans eagerly await the release of her album this summer, as she promises it to be an emotional, spiritual and psychological journey that includes songs about her upbringing, previous relationships and finding love with Affleck.
