"In the Morning" by Jennifer Lopez
Starting off our list is the latest single, “In the Morning,” from 51-year-old singer Jennifer Lopez, who sounds like she hasn’t missed a step since her singing debut decades ago. Lopez premiered her song virtually to fans as she and her children danced along to it via Instagram.
Lopez states the song is about wanting a healthy relationship with another person who can treat her well and love her not only “in the evening” but the morning as well. She discusses the idea of setting boundaries with her lover, a sought-after ideal many fans and casual listeners could certainly relate to!
"In the Morning" is a reminder of why I idolized JLo when I was younger. A sure banger, it is heavy but sporadic on sultry, sexy beats against grinding synths. Lopez's vocals shine and soar as she belts out such emotionally-charged lyrics about finding real love, especially during the chorus where she seems to restrain her range. The song ends with hope for what she seeks.
