Jennifer Lopez to release first solo album in nine years

Jennifer Lopez announced last night that she is releasing a new record with her new publishing partnership with BMG.

Under this global alliance, the award-winning singer and actress widely known as JLo, will release her ninth studio album titled This Is Me... Now. The album will contain 13 tracks and will release via Nuyorican/BMG.

This Is Me... Now will mark the singer’s first solo studio album in nine years, following the release of her 2014 album, A.K.A.

In 2022, Lopez and the Colombian rapper Maluma released the soundtrack to their film Marry Me under Universal Studios/Sony Music US Latin.

BMG's CEO, Thomas Coesfeld, released a statement on the news, saying: “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with her and her team to release her first album in nearly a decade.” In this statement, the CEO called Lopez a “global superstar artist, entertainer... a phenomenon.”

BMG’s president, repertoire & marketing, of Los Angeles and New York, Thomas Scherer, added: “We are both excited and proud to partner with Jennifer Lopez on this long-awaited sequel to This is Me... Then. Clearly written with love and through experience, This Is Me... Now is uplifting and inspiring. ‘Jenny From The Block’ is back at a point in her career when her message is bigger than ever.”

This Is Me... Now was created during 2022/2023 at Lopez’s home studio in Los Angeles, with producers JLo, Rogét Chahayed, Angel Lopez, and Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman on board.

Other songwriters/producers who worked on the album include Hitboy, Ink, Tay Keith, Yeti Beats, Carter Lang, Kim “Kaydence” Krysiuk, with BMG’s Brandon Riester acting as the album’s artists and repertoire representative.

According to the artist's press statement, the upcoming record “is an exciting musical trilogy showcasing the triple-threat’s extraordinary talents.”

An official release date for the album has yet to be annouced.
