After a long period of "hibernation", former Disney princess Selena Gomez has officially returned with the new album "I Said I Love You First", collaborating with her fiancé - famous musician and music producer Benny Blanco.

"I Said I Love You First" is the crystallization of Selena and her fiancé's passionate love, reflecting the extremely genuine emotions in their love journey from when they were dating until the time they decided to get married.

Since its release on March 21, after only 3 days, the female singer's new product has been extremely well received by music lovers.

Many listeners commented that this is one of the best albums in Selena's musical career.

Selena's album received many good reviews from the audience.

"I was pleasantly surprised by this album. I'd call it Selena Gomez's best album to date in her career and shows her having fun with her different musical inspirations."

"This album is a work of art because it is so authentic to Selena. She is no longer limited creatively. Benny produced this album exactly as Selena wanted and sent it to the audience", are the comments left by the audience for this album.

"I Said I Love You First" does not follow the old success formula of Selena Gomez's previous album "Rare". In this product, the former Disney princess has truly escaped her comfort zone, combining many contemporary musical materials to release an extremely bold and colorful album.

The star couple Selena and Benny skillfully captured the hyperpop trend with the song Bluest Flame or applied alternative pop and dreampop melodies in composing the song Ojos Tristes.

The album has a total of 14 songs, collaborating with many talented and famous young artists such as Charlie XCX, Gracie Abram and Finneas.

The Guardian commented that this is a well-produced and well-invested album. The essence of the album "I Said I Love You First" is not as cheesy as its title suggests, but "a praise for the wonderfulness of love from a couple who are extremely infatuated with each other".

The Guardian also emphasized that the album, which was inspired by "very personal" things, was a mess and lacked a clear identity, because Selena was a multi-talented singer and had released many great hits before in her career.

However, it is undeniable that the good values ​​that the relationship with music producer Benny Blanco has brought to Selena. This is not only shown through the recently released album but also very clearly in the singer's life and career.

Benny Blanco was the main music producer on Selena Gomez's album "I Said I Love You First".

Not only focusing on music, Selena also entered the film industry with notable achievements in the hit series "Only Murder in the Building" or the Golden Globe blockbuster "Emillia Perez".

Besides, she is also extremely successful with the "cosmetic empire" Rare Beauty, which is the lever that helped Selena join the ranks of young billionaires at the end of 2024.

And perhaps, Selena was not exaggerating when she proudly declared that Benny Blanco "is the best man she has ever dated". The album's title also affirms the singer's love for her fiancé when she was the one who said she loved him first in their relationship.

In 2024, Selena was very active in the film industry, starting with a role in Only Murder in the Building.

Who is Benny Blanco?

Looking at Selena Gomez's "huge" love history in the past with famous faces like Justin Bieber, Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner, Zedd, Charlie Puth, The Weeknd, and even rumored lover Chris Evans, Benny Blanco's fiancé seems to be somewhat at a disadvantage.

However, although he is a rather unfamiliar name to Vietnamese audiences, Benny is a famous musician and music producer in Hollywood.

He is the man behind a series of super successful hits that marked the careers of the world's top singers such as: Teenage Dream - Katy Perry, Circus - Britney Spears, Diamonds - Rihanna, Move Like Jaggers - Maroon 5, or even Lonely by Selena's ex-lover - Justin Bieber.

In addition, Benny is also the main producer of a series of Ed Sheeran's songs, and has collaborated with global stars such as BTS, Khalid, and Halsey.

Thanks to his significant contributions and influence on the pop music industry, Benny has received a series of prestigious awards in the categories for composers. He currently owns two separate music labels, Mad Love Records and Friends Keep Secrets, and leads countless potential young artists such as Rixton, Cashmere Cat, etc.

Benny Blanco was once close to Justin Bieber before dating Selena Gomez.

As soon as Selena made her relationship with Benny public in 2023, the couple's love story received many mixed opinions and gossip about their seemingly "mismatched" looks.

Although he doesn't have a handsome face, Benny's talent is undeniable. In 2024, the music producer was unexpectedly voted by People magazine as one of the sexiest men in the world despite the fact that he publicly admitted to rarely bathing and being lazy about personal hygiene.

Benny Blanco is also one of the faces appearing on the list of richest Hollywood stars thanks to profits from music activities and his own record label.

His total net worth is around 50 million USD. Most notably, Benny's mansion in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles was featured on Vogue's Beautiful Houses with a value of 9.2 million USD (233 billion VND).

Although he doesn't have a "huge" profile like many of Selena's ex-boyfriends, Benny always shows himself to be a standard man. He has no love scandals, is loved by his friends and colleagues, and is always a gentleman when appearing with his girlfriend.

Benny also supported Selena in all areas from music, to encouraging the singer to try her hand at film and cosmetics business. After the two officially got engaged in December 2024, the couple's wedding is currently highly anticipated by fans.
