Jennifer Lopez unmasks "This Is Me... Now" album artwork ("the first of many," she says)...

J.Lo's artwork for new album "This Is Me... Now" would have looked so much better without the cropping. The graphic designer probably didn't graduate past elementary school, but then, you don't need graphic expertise to SEE when something looks awful. The font placement is all wrong as well. Who uses three different and terribly selected fonts for an album cover? The font type and placement used for last years artwork reveal was much better (see below). She says this album cover will be one of many but this just screams inconsistency to me. The entire "This Is Me... Then" album was a bop, but then, that was 20-years-ago. So if Jennifer Lopez is trying to rehash it sonically, it might sound a tad bit dated. I love the concept of love though. She does too clearly, which is why she's aiming to narrate her and Ben's love story through film, music and visuals. However, some may feel that at 54, J.Lo is a bit too old to be playing the role of the recently married, crazily in love ingénue, who grabs a second chance with the man who practically left her at the altar (could never be me). I just hope for her sake they stay married.

The original artwork, which debuted last year (2022):

  1. Yeah prefer the 2022 cover, as it's consistent with the This Is Me... Now artwork.

    1. Also, wish she'd have hooked back up with Corey Rooney as he laced that album!
