Jennifer Lopez: This Is Me… Now review – too much information on JLo’s lovestruck return

The syrupy Mad in Love (“With you it’s paradise/ And it was worth the wait”) is perhaps the nadir, while the peppy Midnight Trip to Vegas, which interpolates Chris Isaak’s weepie Wicked Game, gets into the specifics of her and Affleck’s “crazy” and “simple” nuptials. There are nice moments of nostalgia: banger Hearts and Flowers references Jenny from the Block, while the excellent Rebound is a throwback R&B jam accentuated by fluttering harp.
