Jennifer Lopez Covers Vogue Magazine, Teases Most Honest Album of Her Career

Unlike Drake and 21 Savage, triple threat Jennifer Lopez is on the cover of Vogue magazine's December issue.

Inside the article she discusses upcoming movies Shotgun Wedding and The Mother, but what she also revealed is that she's finally releasing a new album in 2023, her first full solo body of work since releasing AKA in 2014.

Here's what she had to say about the album in an excerpt from the interview:

“…in the middle of next year, it is this album that pulls Lopez’s enthusiasm at the moment. She says that it will be the most honest work she has ever done, “kind of a culmination of who I am as a person and an artist. People think they know things about what happened to me along the way, the men I was with—but they really have no idea, and a lot of times they get it so wrong. There’s a part of me that was hiding a side of myself from everyone. And I feel like I’m at a place in my life, finally, where I have something to say about it.” She lends me her AirPods so that I can listen to a few rough cuts from the record. There are plaintive, confessional songs, reflections on the trials of her past, upbeat jams celebrating love and sex. As I’m listening, I notice that she has closed her eyes, and she is dancing in her chair and singing along to her own voice. For a moment it occurs to me that she might be treating me to a little performance, but no, she is just so into it.”

She also responded to haters who had a problem with her taking husband Ben Affleck's last name.

“What? Really? People are still going to call me Jennifer Lopez. But my legal name will be Mrs. Affleck because we’re joined together. We’re husband and wife. I’m proud of that. I don’t think that’s a problem.”

She also said she didn't want Ben taking her last name. “No! It’s not traditional. It doesn’t have any romance to it. It feels like it’s a power move, you know what I mean? I’m very much in control of my own life and destiny and feel empowered as a woman and as a person.”

The actress added: “I can understand that people have their feelings about it, and that’s okay, too, but if you want to know how I feel about it, I just feel like it’s romantic. It still carries tradition and romance to me, and maybe I’m just that kind of girl.”

I love JLo as a performer, and it seems that since entering her fifties she's become more personable.

I'm definitely looking forward to hearing what she's been working on in the studio, and I'm really to excited see her Netflix movie The Mother.

All I know is that from the looks of things we'll get a new album from JLo before we get a new album from Rihanna.
