Jennifer Lopez is marking 15 years of her album Love? in the best way possible: the 2011 record is getting its first-ever vinyl release, and it comes with a brand new song.“Proof of Love”is a dance track Lopez wrote after her twins, Max and Emme (who now goes by Oskar), left for college this fall. She described the emotional whiplash of that transition openly, saying that when your kids are gone,“you’re facing a life that’s totally different now.”Rather than keep it heavy, she turned it into something you can move to, explaining that the pain and grief of missing someone is itself“proof of love.”
The vinyl arrives in three collectible editions this November, including a deluxe 2LP on translucent royal blue vinyl with five extra tracks, plus a BILT exclusive on cherry red. It’s a full-circle moment for an album that was originally inspired by her twins’birth and went on to spawn the Hot 100 No. 3 hit“On the Floor”featuring Pitbull.
Fans can also catch Lopez on Thanksgiving night when The JLo Show: Live in Las Vegas airs on CBS and Paramount+. With new music, fresh vinyl, and a holiday special all in the same season, the Love? era is getting the encore it deserves. Which edition are you grabbing, and are you team blue or team red?
