JLo Set To Film New Music Video in March!

UPDATED!

According to the NY Daily News, Jennifer Lopez will be filming the music video for an upcoming single, called “Follow The Leader” on March 2-4! The song, which features Jennifer, is the first single from Wisin y Yandel’s upcoming album, “Los Lideres”:

Brett Ratner is set to direct the video, which depicts “an urban outdoor adventure game played by J.Lo and a crew of approximately six stunt performers…The tech-forward video will ‘begin with a text or a tweet’ sent by Lopez, that reads, “Ready to play? Let’s go.” J.Lo, 42, and her co-stars will then engage in a game that the source describes as part tag, part urban obstacle sport “parkour” that will have the participants hurtling through billboards and vaulting buildings.”

The music video will reportedly premiere during American Idol between the end of March and the end of April.

The NY Daily News reports that the song is the 2nd single from her recent album, LOVE?, however, we know that is not the case! Though the article makes no mention of it, you may recall that Jennifer has been in the studio with the Latin duo Wisin y Yandel. The group referenced “Follow The Leader” on Twitter while working with Jennifer. The duo also recorded a song produced by RedOne for Jennifer’s album called “Dance Love Dance”.

At this point, it is unclear whether “Follow The Leader” is Jennifer’s first single from an upcoming album or Wisin y Yandel’s first single for their upcoming album “Los Lideres” (The Leaders). We’ll keep you posted, though!
