Jennifer Lopez’s beautifully unhinged visual album

This Is Me Now is a visual album about her rekindled love for Ben Affleck , whom she dated in the early noughties, then broke up with, then married in 2022 .

After a ten year break from music, she has written her own.

The title of this new record is a reference to the 2002 album that came in the middle of Lopez's original Affleck era.

Her soft Bronx voiceover recalls simpler, more hopeful times in film.

Musically it is retro too a kind of airy RnB.

There are huge numbers of co-writers at work: one song, “ Hearts and Flowers ” credits sixteen , though you wouldn’t know.
