Jennifer Lopez: Albums
built 186 days ago
Jennifer Lopez is one of the sexiest women in the world. She's a singer, an actress, a dancer, and a Bronx girl, So many film stars have attempted to launch a career in film; so many hit musicians have sought further success in the movies, Yet none of them have ever matched the monumental parallel achievements of Jennifer Lopez. Three multi-million-selling albums, and counting: several major blockbusters: Hollywood pay packets breaking the $12 million mark, AND a Golden Globe nomination. Then there's the clothing line, the cosmetics and fragrances. The woman is truly an all-singing, all-dancing phenomenon.

Though not a dedicated fan of Jennifer Lopez's music career, her latest offering Rebirth is one of the better of her surprising number of albums ... far (surprisingly due to her lackluster singing abilities). Lead single "Get Right" is by far the best of the tracks on record--the horn sequence is addictive and memorable. Lopez herself actually pulls off a sound that's close to being more than mediocre but that's got a LOT to do with how good the song is. "Cherry Pie" stands out as one of Rebirth's best, in addition to "Ryde or Die," "He'll Be" and "Can't Believe." The grooves are stellar and the faux-Hip Hop R&B sounds make for a pretty good listen. Sure, Lopez is far from being an actual respected singer--but at least this album puts her much, much closer to being a credible performer.

Lopez's second album, J. Lo, was released on January 23, 2001 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. When her film The Wedding Planner achieved number one shortly after, Lopez become the first actress-singer to have a film and an album at number one in the same week.[14] The lead single, "Love Don't Cost a Thing", was her first number-one single in the United Kingdom and took her into the top five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. She followed it up with "Play" which gave her another top twenty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number three in the UK. Her next two singles were "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny" which were quickly rising up the charts. To capitalize on this, Lopez asked The Inc. Records (then known as Murder Inc.) to remix both songs, which featured rap artists Ja Rule (on both) and Caddillac Tah (on the "Ain't It Funny" remix). Both remixes reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for several weeks. She re-released J. Lo on her thirty-second birthday with the remix of "I'm Real" as a bonus track.

Following the success of the re-release of J. Lo, Lopez decided to devote an entire album to the remixing effort, releasing J to tha L-O!: The Remixes, on February 5, 2002. This album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first remix album in history to debut at the top on the chart.[15] Featured artists on J to tha L-O!: The Remixes included P. Diddy, Fat Joe, and Nas, and the album included rare dance and hip hop remixes of past singles. It is the third all-time biggest-selling remix album in the world, after Michael Jackson's Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix (1997) and Madonna's You Can Dance (1987).

The overall theme of Brave is that Lopez is quite content with her life and current relationship. On tracks like “Forever” and “Stay Together,” Lopez sings about making sure she is with her significant other for the rest of her life and that “staying together is the new trend.” This level of satisfaction with the present is ... evident in the quality of music on Brave, as she never sounds hungry for a hit, and croons rather indifferently throughout the album. Even the production lacks risk-taking or any sign of reinvention and could easily pass as leftover records from Lopez' past albums. Although contentment with life is excellent for her, it makes for a very bland record.
