If the six songs she previewed at an intimate brunch in Malibu Friday April 25 are any indication, JLO will soon be baring her heart once again on her forthcoming record. I've always sung about love. It was always love in a certain way: A fairytale type of way; I was hoping, praying, and wishing for that," JLO said, sitting before a handful of industry insiders gathered at Nikita Malibu restaurant.
Jennifer Lopez's upcoming eigth studio album finds her with a new understanding of love: a more confident, "right" type of love. I still believe in it more than ever.
I'm still singing about it on every track, but I want it in the right way. I believe there's a certain way that it should be. JLO started recording her new album in February , after finishing her first world tour and divorcing singer-songwriter, Marc Anthony.
Marc Anthony and Lopez, who have two children, twins, Emme Maribel and Maximilian David, divorced in April , after eight years of marriage.

More insightful is how her work on reality TV with "Idol" helped her rediscover her sense of self and empowered her to act on this realization. The main message of the book is that during her divorce, she learned to love herself, the "true love" referenced in the title. As self-centered as this sounds, she sells it more as respect of one's self—"Self Respect," after all, is a far less sexy title.
