J.Lo is both the protagonist and plot of her new album-movie-musical
LA Times“Whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was always. Now: A Love Story.” Out Feb. 16 on Prime Video, Lopez’s “narrative-driven cinematic odyssey” is teased with an epic, action blockbuster opening — following Lopez and her husband, Oscar-winning actor Ben Affleck, as they barrel across a salt flat like two love renegades on a motorcycle. In the music video for the album’s funky lead single, “Can’t Get Enough,” Lopez cycles through a procession of posh weddings to handsome, albeit interchangeable gentlemen. The film, which was directed by music video maker extraordinaire Dave Meyers, also features appearances by Trevor Noah, Kim Petras, Post Malone, Keke Palmer, Sofia Vergara, Jenifer Lewis and Jay Shetty. The visuals of “Now” depict Lopez’s heart as a factory in disarray, and her mind as a meandering, sci-fi multiverse beyond comprehension.
