Jennifer Lopez is quickly moving on after her breakup with Ben Affleck and focusing on her music career.
The versatile artist aims to produce a successful album to boost her presence in the music industry.
According to sources speaking to Page Six, Lopez is keen on crafting a “major dance hit” to reclaim her position on the music charts.
“They have made contact with various songwriters,” a source shared. “She’s on the lookout for a big dance track.”
Plans for this venture suggest it will be more extensive than just a single, with the insider noting that Lopez aims to produce a full album, stating, “She wants to make hits and release a new album.”
Moving On From the Disappointment of This Is Me… Now
Lopez released her last album, This Is Me… Now, in February 2024, which was heavily influenced by her relationship with Affleck; however, it did not achieve the desired success.
The album only managed to debut at number 38 on the Billboard Top 200, missing the top 20. Critics had unfavorable opinions, with Slate commenting that “much of the album falls short,” and Pitchfork stating “the narrative overtakes the music.”
Prior to the album’s debut, Lopez voiced her uncertainty about her future in music, hinting she might consider retirement.
“Honestly, I don’t know if I’ll ever produce another album after this,” she remarked. However, it appears she’s now ready for a new chapter in her musical journey.
“With her impressive history of hits, she cannot accept that the last album marks the end of her music career,” the source elaborated. “She wants to rid herself of the negativity associated with This Is Me… Now.”
Is JLo Set for a Major Comeback?
Jennifer Lopez is shifting her focus back to music, even as she maintains a strong presence in film. Sources close to the star indicate that her main ambition is to reclaim her musical prowess.
“Music is her top priority,” a source noted, emphasizing Lopez’s commitment to demonstrating that her music career is far from finished.
As she embarks on this new phase, many speculate whether Lopez might emulate Shakira’s successful transformation of personal hardship into musical achievements.
Although Lopez has several film projects in the pipeline, including two associated with Ben Affleck’s production company, it’s evident that her primary focus lies in returning to the studio to create chart-topping tracks for her fans.
It’s uncertain how this potential new album will influence Lopez’s standing in the music industry, but anticipation surrounds her efforts to make a significant return.
