JLo Announces ‘This Is Me…Now’

 

Huge news! Jennifer Lopez has announced the release date of her long anticipated ‘musical experience’, This Is Me… Now! The album and an accompanying film, This Is Me… Now: The Film, will be released February 16, 2024!

The album, written and executive produced by Jennifer and Rogét Chayed, along with Angel Lopez, Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman, HitBoy, Tay Keith and INK among others, effortlessly blends R&B, contemporary pop sounds and hip-hop beats. It will be Jennifer’s most honest and personal album to date.

This Is Me… Now: The Film, is a narrative-driven intimate, reflective, sexy, funny, fantastical and highly entertaining musical and visual reimagining of Lopez’s publicly scrutinized love life. It was directed by Dave Meyers, who also directed a number of Jennifer’s music videos. The pair created a “an extravagant visual and sonic feast with impressive choreography, star studded cameos, costumes, sets and blockbuster-worthy visuals. A heartfelt ode to Lopez’s journey of self-healing and her everlasting belief in fairytale endings, the film promises to captivate audiences and leave them feeling hopeful.”

Amazon MGM Studios has acquired and will release Nuyorican Productions’ This Is Me…Now: The Film on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Nuyorican/BMG will distribute the highly anticipated This Is Me…Now: The Album. ‘Can’t Get Enough’, the first single from This Is Me…Now: The Album, will be released on January 10, 2024 via Nuyorican/BMG.

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!

Per a press release, ‘This Is Me…Now’ chronicles the “emotional, spiritual and psychological journey that she has taken over the past two decades.

JLo Honored With iHeartRadio ICON Award!

 
Jennifer Lopez was honored with the ICON Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards last night! Jennifer thanked fans for the well-deserved award by saying, “Because of you, I get to do what I love the most in life, and that is the most wonderful blessing. That’s the gift you give me, and I just want to say thank you for that.” I loved her speech, especially the end when she said: “”Icon, I-con, I can overcome negativity, and so can you, every single moment. And let me tell you something else, I am just getting started.”

Later, Billy Porter led a fashion show tribute with a group of 12 drag queens – many former contestants of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” – that culminated in a performance of “On My Way” and “Get Right”!
