Jennifer Lopez is making sweet music and a movie with the help of her husband, Ben Affleck.
Earlier this week, the pop star said wait no more to her adoring fans and dropped the trailer for her highly anticipated music experience This Is Me…Now.
The project is an album that will be accompanied by a film. The movie was co-written by Lopez’s Oscar-winning director husband, Ben Affleck.
The 54-year-old promised to give viewers an inside look into her journey as an artist and a woman searching for her one true love during the past two decades.
This Is Me… Now is the follow-up to Lopez’s hit 2003 album, This Is Me… Then which was dedicated to her husband, Affleck.
The pair dated in the early 2000s and got engaged in 2002 before parting ways in 2004. They rekindled the flames of their romance in 2022 and married soon after.
In a nutshell, Now is a love letter to Ben Affleck.
Here is the synopsis: “This Is Me…Now is the defining era of Jennifer Lopez‘s illustrious career. With an unprecedented rawness and vulnerability, Lopez has crafted a powerful and heartfelt homage to the profound beauty of true love and the indomitable strength of the human spirit. What began as a return to the recording studio after an almost decade-long absence and inspired by love evolved into a vision to weave her songs into an abstract biography reverse-engineered from the powerful music she had written, recorded, and produced.”
It went on to say: “This Is Me… Now is not just another project for Jennifer Lopez. It is a reflection of the immense dedication and hard work she has poured into herself, her unyielding faith, and a celebration of her commitment to doing what is right. This collection of work is a beacon of hope, a celebration of love, and a call to make better choices for ourselves and for the world around us. We may think we know the story of Lopez, one of the most written about women in the world, but this powerful and heartfelt work of art shares the real story, a piece of her soul, and she is doing it in her own inimitable style.”
The teaser featured a series of gorgeous shots of Lopez in wild and creative costumes dancing in the rain, and performing in a factory.
There is also a fascinating scene of motorcycle racing through water. In the teaser for the film, Lopez unveiled a handwritten note from Affleck dated December 24, 2002.
It read: “Life’s tough, but you’re sweet. Thanks for the gift. I hope you like the flowers. You told me you could never have enough. I believe you.” The note is signed B.
The film and album will be released on February 16, 2024.
