After going radio silent on the ironically-named social media over the last few days, musician and actress Jennifer Lopez became the topic of intense speculation among fans and critics. Where could Lopez have gone? Were her and hubby Ben Affleck having difficulties? Was the Divine Mrs. Lopez possibly sneaking off to shoot U-Turn II: Yield the Right of Way? Like her fictional counterpart Carmen Sandiego, everyone began to wonder just where in the world Jennifer Lopez had meandered off to. Luckily for just such a 21st Century cunundrum, we have our ever-sleuthing pals over at The Hollywood Reporter to get to the bottom of the disappearance; rest assured that this story has a happy ending, Dear and Constant Reader!
For the first time in nearly a decade, pop chanteuse Jennifer Lopez is taking a wee breather from the world of movies and television to concentrate on making fans of her inimitable style of music quite happy indeed: Lopez announced the 2023 release of a brand-spankin’ new album entitled This Is Me…Now. For anyone keeping score, the new album title is a wink and a nod to Lopez’s 2002 LP This Is Me…Then. Who says that sequels were only intended for movies?
“Heralding a new era of music for Jennifer Lopez, This Is Me … Now chronicles the emotional, spiritual and psychological journey that she has taken over the past two decades,” exhorted a Friday morning press release for the upcoming album.
According to word ‘round campfire, This Is Me…Now will shine a big light on stories that are near and dear to Lopez’s own life and heart. For example, one of the tracks off of the forthcoming albumm is called Dear Ben pt II, itself a seeming sequel to 2002’s Dear Ben which was front and center on Lopez’s 2002 This Is Me…Then. Everything old is new again!
Always good to have Jennifer Lopez back in the music fold; while we’re pretty big fans of many of the roles in film she’s tackled over the years- aformentioned U-Turn and Out of Sight are two early efforts which spring to mind – we have to admit that when it comes to weaving a musical spell, there are few that are in the class of Jenny On the Block…
This Is Me…Now will drop in 2023 and we’ll have more on this release as more details become known; stay tuned!
