No more J-Lo please
Share this Story
Jennifer Lopez doesn’t want to be known as her nickname J-Lo because she has a new sense of self, and isn’t the same person she used to be.
The singer has returned to her Puerto Rican roots with a new album of Spanish love songs and insists it has encouraged her to leave her past reputation behind.
"I am incredibly proud of my culture and I think I am a woman who is totally defined by my culture. My temperament, my body shape, the way I am is all very much Puerto Rican." Jennifer told Britain's The Guardian newspaper.
Adding "I'm not J.Lo any more. That's all gone with all the ridiculous stories about tantrums and Egyptian sheets. That's all my past. I'm Jennifer Lopez. I think, as a woman, I've finally grown more sure of who I am. It does seem ironic that it has taken me more than a decade to basically get back to who I am."
The actress turned singer says that her husband of two years, Marc Anthony, guided her through the process of recording her new album 'Como Ama Una Mujer (How a Woman Loves). Anthony advised her to pour out her deepest emotions and Lopez says that’s what created, in her opinion, her best album so far.
She said: "This is the album I'm proudest of. In fact, this is the only album I've ever recorded that I listen to in my car."
