In addition to motherhood, and The Back-up Plan, Lopez is also working on her upcoming album. Despite switching labels, Lopez has not abandoned her original album concept. Lopez says, “I’m going to call it Love?, because I just feel like it’s an endlessly fascinating topic that all my albums have been about. It’s still very confusing to me and so I explore that on this album, probably more than my other albums.” Lopez will work with her new label, Def Jam, to finish the album. She says, “I recently parted ways with my old record company and we have a new one, so you know, they are gonna get involved with it. They’ve heard what I’ve been working on already. Everybody is really happy with it. We just need to finish it.”
Though there’s a solid concept, “[The album] hasn’t taken its full shape, yet,” she says. “I mean, there’s a real base of material that really goes with that concept and then there’s gonna be stuff that we create now, that I don’t even know what it’s gonna be.”
Love?, scheduled to hit stores this summer, will feature a variety of influences like Lopez’s previous albums. “It’s gonna be that combination of, like, dance and a little bit of street, and a little bit of hip hop, and a little bit of R&B and just all of those influences that I grew up with and that my music has always had, you know. My albums if you [listen] from the first one to the last one, it always has a few ballads and then there’s a few great dance cuts and then, you know, kinda mid-tempos,” she says.
Lopez performed two songs that will likely end up on Love?, “Starting Over” and “Until it Beats No More”, this past February on “Saturday Night Live”. Another song that could end up on the album is a song that she wrote for her twins. “I wrote a song for the babies, I don’t know that I’m going to put it on the album, [though]”.
In addition to her English music, Lopez is also going to record an all new Spanish album. “I’m going to start working on a new Spanish album, probably in about a month, as well. Probably right as I finish the other one. I’ll put [Love?] out this year and we’ll ride that out and probably do the Spanish album for release next year.”
While Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony have often worked together in the past, don’t expect to hear her on Anthony’s upcoming album, Iconos. “We didn’t duet on this one. We are going solo. He is doing his thing and I’m doing my thing. We had our moment in our 3rd or 4th year married where we did everything together – El Cantante, we did the tour, we made all the music together, he produced my album, and you know, that was a beautiful time for us and we really enjoyed that, but I think we both kinda subconsciously said, it’s time for us, we have a responsibility to our own individual fans, and we have to go off and do our own thing.” But that doesn’t mean they no longer support each other. Lopez went on to gush, “You guys are gonna love his new album. It’s absolutely brilliant.”

I just hope her next Spanish album is more uptempo than her last one, which got me bored
