“Teyana and Normani are true trailblazers, and their voices brought something really special to ‘Ecstasy,’” Ciara shared. “There’s a real sisterhood between us, and it felt powerful to come together on this remix! We each brought our own sauce to the track. It’s bold, nostalgic and full of energy. The fans have been asking for this and I’m so proud of what we created.”

Jennifer Lopez is set to wow like never before in ‘Kiss Of The Spider Woman.’

Eagerly anticipated, the film is directed by Bill Condon, who helmed the Oscar-winning ‘Dreamgirls.’

J.Lo stars as Ingrid Luna, a successful movie maven who becomes the subject of a fantasy world shaped by Luis Molina (Tonatiuh Elizarraraz), a gay prisoner in an Argentinian jail.

A force at the Sundance Film Festival, the movie is powered by themes of sexuality, politics, and human connection.
