Jennifer Lopez: 'I think [This Is Me…Now] is the most honest record that I've ever made'

Pop icon Jennifer Lopez is the next artist to take the stage for Apple Music Live. Fresh off of the release of her ninth studio album, This Is Me…Now, Lopez hits the legendary Orpheum Theater stage in Los Angeles to a crowd full of her biggest fans. The performance will debut Wednesday, 21st February at 03:00 GMT / 7:00pm PT exclusively on Apple Music.

In a wide-ranging and refreshingly honest interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Lopez said, “I think [This Is Me…Now] is the most honest record that I’ve ever made. And I feel very connected to it because of that. It’s not just personal, it’s my whole heart on the wax. It’s my whole heart in the air, and the ether now. And I really feel like, as I shared the music, I wasn’t just sharing music, I was sharing a feeling, a message, a bigger idea about, and that’s why it just didn’t end with the music for me.”

During the performance, Lopez showcases new tracks “This Is Me…Now,” “Rebound,” “Hearts and Flowers,” and “Greatest Love Story Never Told,” plus her biggest hits and fan favorites including, “Jenny from the Block,” “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” “If You Had My Love,” and more.

The performance comes hot off joining Ebro live in New York City for the second episode of her very own, exclusive This Is Me…Now Radio series, celebrating the release of her new album This Is Me… Now. Lopez gives listeners an exclusive look into her love story and all the stops on her journey along the way.

In part two, Lopez talks about learning to embrace her scars while making This Is Me… Now, and how her second chance at love with Ben Affleck made her want to share that sense of hope with her fans. She also shares stories and inspiration during the making of her album, talks about evolving, and how her musical original is breaking all the rules.

Also, she is joined by longtime friends and collaborators Fat Joe and Ja Rule. Fat Joe shares stories about their friendship and talks about how inspirational she is, and she and Ja Rule reminisce about collaborating on the song “I’m Real.” Then, she gets some words of encouragement from LL Cool J and Ludacris.

This Is Me…Now Radio is available on Apple Music.
