Latin sensation Jennifer Lopez's first album sung solely in Spanish, Como Ama Una Mujer, hits stores Tuesday.
The album, Como Ama Una Mujer, which means How a Woman Loves, is co-produced by Lopez's husband, Marc Anthony, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Lopez was talked out of singing in Spanish by former Sony executive Tommy Mottola when her career was just starting, but now she said she is happy to be able to return and do an album in her chosen language.
I thought that my career was going to be in Spanish music, honestly, Lopez said. My life took a different turn, which was great for me. But my heart was always kind of on the Spanish side.
Lopez, like many other Latinos born in the U.S., grew up mostly speaking English. She did not learn Spanish until she became an adult.
I know it's not maybe what people would expect from me, she said. But this is a beautiful opportunity for me to show a side of myself that is such a big part of who I am.
