Don't be fooled by the success that she's got; she's still Jennifer Lopez from the block.
On Feb. 16, J.Lo dropped her ninth studio album, This Is Me... Now, a three-part project documenting her search for love, self-discovery, and, of course, her reunion with Ben Affleck.
The release will be followed up by a third component, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, which is a behind-the-scenes documentary inspired by love letters from Ben. It will be released on Feb. 27.
But, we need to talk about the second component, which was released simultaneously with her album, This Is Me...Now: A Love Story. It's a narrative-driven musical film now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
There are three things J.Lo is excellent at — singing, dancing, and acting — and we get all three in this hour-long musical journey loosely based on her adventurous love life.
While the musical companion film is the perfect cinematic experience to wrap Jennifer's serial romances to and back to Ben, the cameos really blew me away.
This Is Me... Now: A Love Story's star-studded cast included rapper Fat Joe...
...the envelope-pushing singer-songwriter, Kim Petras
...the cuddly tatted-up rapper/singer, Post Malone
...the multi-hyphenated "always keep a bag," Keke Palmer
...the beautifully talented actor, Sofía Vegara
...beloved author and life coach, Jay Shetty
...the brilliantly quirky astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson
...the spiritually renowned founder of the Isha Foundation, Sadhguru
...Tony Bellissimo, Trevor Jackson, AND Derek Hough, as her incredibly handsome dancing husbands
...and not one, but two iconic "Mother of Black Hollywood" Jenifer Lewises.
And then, you won't believe who plays the character Rex Stone.
J.Lo was in her bag with this three-part project showcasing her triple-threat talents, and it comes right after Vogue announced her as one of the co-chairs for this year's Met Gala, alongside Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth.
While J.Lo claimed this might be her last album, based on the fan's reactions to her latest projects, she might want to reconsider retirement and keep the momentum going.
Here's what fans have to say about Jennifer Lopez' latest projects:
Beyond anyone's expectation or opinion on where JLo stand in the music industry... Having the skill, the vision & the ambition to create something like #ThisIsMeNow is extremely commendable.
It may be a little outlandish at times, but I'm so highly impressed. POUR INTO IT!!!
I love how the hate for JLo on this app is not transpiring to JLo's career in real life. Critics are praising #ThisIsMeNow album and film left and right. Haters gonna hate but in the end JLo keeps winning. Her sales are soaring too and that's a great start for this era. ❤️💐 pic.twitter.com/LTNzcOmUsl
