J-Lo's Comeback

Jennifer Lopez has made a big comeback this year. After giving birth to twins, J. Lo is back and looking better than ever. Lopez began her career as a dancer on the television comedy program In Living Color. Subsequently venturing into acting, she gained recognition in the 1995 action-thriller Money Train. Her first leading role was in the biographical film Selena, in which she earned an ALMA Award for Outstanding Actress. She earned her second ALMA Award for her performance in Out of Sight. She has since starred in various films, including The Wedding Planner, Maid in Manhattan, Shall We Dance?, Monster-in-Law, and The Back-up Plan.

Lopez came to prominence within the music industry following the release of her debut studio album On the 6 which spawned the number one hit single "If You Had My Love". Her second studio album J.Lo  was a commercial success, selling eight million copies worldwide. J to tha L–O!: The Remixes became her second consecutive album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 while her third and fourth studio albums – This Is Me... Then  and Rebirth – peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. In 2007, she released two albums including her first full Spanish-language album Como ama una Mujer, and her fifth English studio album Brave. Returning to music with a new record label, Lopez is scheduled to release her seventh studio album, entitled Love?

Jennifer Lopez's latest single, the international smash “On the Floor”, opens with this line: “It’s a new generation of party people.” And luckily the singer has taken note. Lopez, 41, isn’t the same star she was 10 years ago, when she dominated both pop and urban music charts. She is a great entertainer, and that’s reflected throughout most of her seventh album, Love? The Pitbull-featured “On the Floor”, which has the “party, party, party” vibe that has taken over Top 40 radio, is irresistible and addictive. The video releases the same vibe. J.Lo is dropped off in front of a club banging her song. There are three different versions of J.Lo, we see her as dancer, a vixen, and a boss. Her silver clad cat suit simply striking throughout the video. Her video transports the viewer throughout different sequences and scenes, which any good music video should do. Secondly, it looks expensive—another music video must. And lastly, it’s sexy! Its clear J.Lo was trying to take us to one place and one place only with this clip: the sultry, good life in Las Vegas. Right? The video is laced with glitter-covered freaks, people wearing sunglasses indoors, chandeliers, and various club folk—all staples of expense, sex, and—yes—Sin City.

It was produced by RedOne, the man behind Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance and Poker Face. Lopez also has future hits with the Lil Wayne-assisted I'm Into You and Good Hit, a Fergie-sounding jam produced by The-Dream and Tricky. Lopez is best, though, when she collaborates with producer D’Mile. The two songs, (What Is) Love? and One Love, were leaked in 2009 but they don’t sound dated. They’re biographical tunes about Lopez’s love life which includes two failed marriages and stints with Ben Affleck and Diddy. If there’s something this girl can sing about, it should be love lapses and, when she does, she does it well.
