Jennifer Lopez's latest dance hit was at number one this week on Billboards.com dance charts. The song, Do it Well, is part of her latest album, "Brave". "Brave" is Jennifer's 6th studio album in her music career, and her second release this year.
The song was written and produced by Ryan Teddler. David LaChepelle, who is renowned for his "out of the box" concepts and ideas, produced the music video. The video starts with Jennifer getting a SOS message from a little boy. Jennifer then pounds her way into a club, beats up a couple of random people and saves the boy. She manages to do all of this in a short trench coat and still has time for a few dance routines in between, which she does in a red dress and heels.
Although the song has been a big hit and has stayed on the Billboard.com charts for 6 weeks, the music video hasn't been as much of a success. In an interview, Jennifer tells of David's "magical work" by combining colour, art and an underground vibe into the video. She reports that David said, "People want to see her dance," so the video was created as a "high energy dance song."
Her previous album, released earlier this year, "Como Ama Un Mujer" has broken the record for the highest selling Spanish album. Since it's release in March, it has sold over 800,000 copies. The album has been nominated for the American Music Awards (AMA) in the category, Favourite Latin Artist.
This isn't her first time at the AMA. In 2003 she won the music award for Favourite Pop/Rock Female Artist. But singing isn't the only thing that this multi-talented artist does. She still manages to fit in her acting career, song writing, clothing line and her fragrance: J-LO. According to Forbes, Jennifer Lopez is the richest Latin American in Hollywood.
This Latino Queen has taken Hollywood by storm since the beginning of her career in the 90s. She's managed to cover a variety of industries and combine them all into one. During her fame, she has been married several times, her latest husband being her long-time friend, Marc Anthony.
Currently they are on tour together, to promote her album. With two albums out in one year, awards piling up, a movie being planned and touring, it seems there is no stopping her. Who knows, she might be able to fit in a few more dance routines in a red dress and heels before the year is done.
