'This Is Me... Now' is Jennifer Lopez's first album in 10 years, while her musical movie includes cameos from Fat Joe, Jane Fonda, and more
she knew a lot of people wouldn’t get the full concept at first. Yes, she was planning an album that would be a direct sequel to her 2002 LP, who she reconnected with and married almost exactly 20 years later. But she also wanted to pair the music with an out-of-the-box film that would capture the romantic journey she’d been on over the last two decades.
When she was bringing people onto the project, she asked them to put their faith in her. “I told them, ‘You’re going to have to trust me,’” she says. “They didn’t know what they were doing. That was kind of the biggest hurdle of the whole project. When you’re making something that’s never really been made before and you’re trying to explain it to people, it’s hard for them to imagine it. I told them as much as I could share with them: ‘I have this album. I’m making this story up.
To release the album, Lopez signed a recording and publishing contract with BMG last year. She enlisted her previous collaborator Brandon Riester as the A&R for. Even while she was balancing multiple other projects, he saw how committed Lopez was to her musical comeback and later making the film“A small fact that a lot of people don’t know, but Jen’s in my phone as Jen the Juggernaut because she’s like an unstoppable machine,” he says.
For the film, Lopez reunited with Meyers, who previously shot her music videos for “I’m Real” and “All I Have.” “I had a great creative partner in Dave Meyers because he had such an amazing imagination,” she says. “He’s such a visual genius. There’s no part of my imagination that he wasn’t able to stretch beyond its limits with how he helped bring this story to life. We started talking about all of the things that had happened.
