The new album is a successor to her 2002 hit LP — which was inspired by Ben Affleck — ‘This Is Me… Then’
J-Lovers rejoice! Jennifer Lopez’s long-awaited ninth album is almost here!
On Wednesday, the actress and singer, 53, teased on multiple social media platforms that her new album This is Me… Now — a successor to her 2002 Ben Affleck inspired album This Is Me…Then — will be dropping soon.
“Album delivery day ✨ #THISISMENOW,” she wrote on Twitter and Instagram.
In the new post, Lopez shared a black-and-white photo of herself looking chic and happy as she held her phone and smiled, her head tilted to one side. The posts prompted hundreds of excited reactions online, with one fan asking the singer and actress on Twitter, “and when will you deliver it to us?” Others on Instagram asked Lopez to drop the album already, with one fan writing, “GIRRRRL DROP THAT ALBUM…WE’RE DYING.”
On Instagram, one of the album’s producers, Rogét Chahayed, shared his delight at Lopez’s post, commenting: “It’s time…💪🏼”
Lopez announced her ninth studio album last November with a clip recreating the cover of the 2002 album and then transforming into 2022 J.Lo, she wrote on Instagram, “This is me then, this is me now.”
The star’s new project “chronicles the emotional, spiritual and psychological journey that she has taken over the past two decades,” according to a press release, and comes on the heels of her marriage to Ben Affleck, to whom the earlier album was dedicated.
