Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Like Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez has entered the singing, dancing, acting, can-do-anything zone of the bona fide superstar and has developed an ego to match her talents. J.Lo, the follow-up to her multi-platinum 1999 debut On The 6, makes little attempt to tinker with the latino soul formula she patented back then, employing an army of co-producers and writers (including partner Puffy) to assemble a slick, 15-track affair. If anything, her sound is safe, retro even, with some tracks looking back to the 1980s, particularly the Michael Jackson-influenced "I'm Real" and the funky, impressive "Play". Her Puerto Rican background comes to the fore on a handful of Spanish numbers, notably "Cariño", which samples Cuban percussionist Mongo Santamaria's "Sofrito" to impressive effect. It goes badly wrong on the "La Isla Bonita" sound-a-like, "Ain't It Funny", which merely serves to reinforce the impression that Lopez is happy to settle for being the latino Madonna. --Mike Pattenden

J. Lo is Slammin',
By A Customer
This review is from: J.Lo (Audio CD)
Jennifer Lopez's J. Lo is a rich mixture of Pop, RnB and Dance but unlike On The 6 It isn't heavily laced with latin influences or Ballads. So here's a track by track rundown of this album. Love Don't Cost A Thing- Sassy RnB stompin track. I'm Real- Oriental feel, has an eighties edge a track definetly made for the summer, you can imagine cruisind in your drop top convertible and I'm definetly sure that P. Diddy is MC-ing on the chorus. Play-Electronic, sassy RnB dance track complete with a curse word. Walking On Sushine- P. Diddy produced House/trance track better than most trance tracks out there. Ain't It funny-Reminiscent of Enrique Iglesias Bailamos. Carino- J. Lo sings in a sultry Mary J Blige-y way over a backing track more at home on a Santana Lp. Come Over-Sexy Sultry song. One for those nights when your'e alone with your partner. We Gotta Talk- Song with loads of attitude J.Lo sings real good on this one. That's Not Me- Operatic Drama. But I don't think J.Lo actually cooks cleans and washes her boyfriends clothes. Dance With Me- Latin influenced precussive track. P. Diddy produced, reminiscent of Busta Rhymes Put Your Hands Where My Eyes can see. Secretly- Sweet Ballad without any kind of bassline. Sounds familiar to Janet Jackson's Again. I'm Gonna Be alright. Sassy Pop RnB confident song. That's The Way- Darkchild produced pop/RnB track. Dame (Touch Me) - Blazing, latin track. Si Ya Se Acabo- No Idea what she's singing but still sounds Good. Album is more poptastic than the last but this is still good.

Surprising,
By A Customer
This review is from: J.Lo (Audio CD)
I've never been a huge Jennifer fan but I fell in love with both 'Love Dont cost a thing' and 'Play' when I first heard them and decided to give the album a go. To be honest it's a mixture- some RnB, some latino and a few in-between, album fillers that dont do much. The album would be better if certain tracks were a bit more uptempo, since this is what J. Lo does best. Having said that, track 11- 'Secretly' is a soft, gentle and totally listenable chillout tune, it sounds far better when you have someone there (preferably of the opposite sex) to chill with. I also have to disagree with some of the critics who slated track 5- 'Ain't it funny', which I personally love. It's got such a great (if predictable) melody that makes you want to sing along. 'Walking on Sunshine' is probably the most diverse, with a more electronic sound that took me by surpirse since I didn't expect something like it on an album like this- its a new sound that J.Lo can do nicely. 'Play' is one of my favourites since it has buckets of attitude and just makes me want to dance all the time. Although some tracks are a bit samey, the good tracks are very good and I haven't worn them out yet, and I'm not sure that I ever will. If you love RnB and Latino you will probably really enjoy this since both are used to good effect.

This review is from: J.Lo (Audio CD)
Never mind the mention of 'explicit lyrics' in the title for this CD, the track 'Play' has had words removed to satisfy whatever overbearing record execs care about this stuff. I haven't checked the other tracks, that's enough for me to send this one back.
