The sultry 53-year-old singer recently revealed that she will be releasing a brand new album in 2023. At the same time, she took fans on a walk down memory lane to show them how she has evolved over the past 20 years.
J.LO: THEN VS NOW J.Lo took to social media, where she shared the news of her brand new album titled This is Me Now due for release in 2023. In a special video, fans get a glimpse into how much she's changed since the release of her 2002 album This is Me Then. And boy, has she changed.
Jennifer first appears innocent and fresh-faced in a pink baby doll dress and matching beany in a recreation of the cover of her 2022 album This is Me Then before transforming into the hot and sexy diva we know today. She can be seen in a white corset, leather jacket and low slung pants and the melody from her title track can be heard in the background.
