Jennifer Lopez is making headlines following her recent split from Ben Affleck and her renewed focus on music. According to source Lopez is aiming for her next big hit, with dance music that could propel her back to the top of the charts.
“The team has reached out to songwriters,” the insider revealed, adding, “She’s aiming for a big dance hit.” According to the source, Lopez is working on an entire album of hits, not just a single track. Although she has explored acting and other ventures, her current focus is entirely on her music career. “Her priority right now is music,” the source emphasized.
“There’s no point in her pursuing this unless it’s a big hit, and critics are saying it’s the classic Lopez,” the insider noted. “She needs a major banger.” This push comes after her last album, “This Is Me… Now”, didn’t meet expectations. Released in February of this year, the album, inspired by Lopez’s relationship with Affleck, struggled to make an impact on the charts.
The album debuted at number 38 on the Billboard Top 200, failing to capture the attention of critics and fans alike. “Slate” noted that most of the album falls short, while *Pitchfork* pointed out that the narrative often overshadows the music.
Lopez hinted in the months leading up to the release that it might be her final album. “The truth is I don’t even know if I’ll ever make another album after this,” she said. “Don’t tell Benny [Medina, her longtime manager] that that’s what I’m thinking — this might be my last album ever.”
However, it appears that Lopez is not ready to step away from her singing career just yet. The insider said: “She has had an enormous amount of hits and can’t accept the last album is the end of her music career.” The insider stated, “She wants to wash away the stink of This Is Me… Now.”
Lopez is eager to reclaim her position in the music industry after the lackluster performance of her last album. The insider revealed that she aims to create hits and release a new album. The pop star, known for hits like “On the Floor” and “Jenny from the Block,” has a long history of producing chart-topping songs and is dissatisfied with the response to her recent album.
Lopez’s films have performed well in recent years, but she is currently focusing on music. The insider described her as a workhorse. Despite her split from Affleck, Lopez is involved in several film projects, including two for Affleck and Matt Damon’s company, Artists Equity. One of these films, “Unstoppable”, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in August and will receive a limited release in December. Artists Equity also produces Lopez’s latest project, *Kiss of the Spider Woman*, which has just finished filming.
