both critical themes for Lopez. With 13 new songs, including “not.going.anywhere.,” “Dear Ben, Pt. II,” “Hummingbird,” “This Time Around,” “Mad in Love” and many more, this upcoming cinematic odyssey is said to star Lopez, of course, alongside the likes of other singers, actors and celebrities, such as Affleck, Trevor Noah (“The Daily Show with Trevor Noah”), Kim Petras (“Feed the Beast,” 2023), Post Malone (“Austin,” 2023), Keke Palmer (“Big Boss,” 2023), Sofia Vergara (“Modern Family”), Neil deGrasse Tyson (“Cosmos”), Tony Bellissimo (“La La Land,” 2016), Matthew Law (“Ahsoka”) and more. Leading up to the release of her larger-than-life visual album, the first single off Lopez’s upcoming album (the rest of which will be released in tandem with the film), “Can’t Get Enough,” was released on Jan. 10, with its own music video now available to stream on YouTube as a taste of what’s to come. From “Jenny on the Block” to this groundbreaking moment, see Jennifer Lopez at the top of her game in “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story,” premiering Friday, Feb. 16, on Prime Video. Jennifer Lopez is back with her first studio album in a decade, and this time the artist has her sights set on the big screen: “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story,” premieres Friday, Feb. 16, on Prime Video. From the Grammy-winning director Dave Meyers (“The Hitcher,” 2007), the mind behind hundreds of music videos over the past 20 years — for artists such as Taylor Swift (“Midnights,” 2022), Ariana Grande (“Eternal Sunshine,” 2024), Harry Styles (“Harry’s House,” 2022), Kendrick Lamar (“To Pimp a Butterfly,” 2015) and more — Amazon claims that this upcoming, feature-length, album-long adventure will be “nothing like you’ve ever seen from Jennifer Lopez.” “Alongside director Dave Meyers,” says the Prime Video press release, “Jennifer has created a narrative-driven cinematic odyssey, steeped in mythological storytelling and personal healing. Dropping in tandem with her first studio album in a decade, this genre-bending Amazon original showcases her journey to love through her own eyes. With fantastical costumes, breathtaking choreography and star-studded cameos, this panorama is an introspective retrospective of Jennifer’s resilient heart.” The record, “This Is Me … Now,” will be Lopez’s ninth studio album. It shares a story of love and is said to explore the artist’s personal journey to love — and back to husband Ben Affleck (“Air,” 2023), perhaps — as equally as it explores the importance of self-love and self-acceptance,
