J.Lo is the second studio album by American recording artist Jennifer Lopez, released on January 23, 2001 by Epic Records. The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart with 272,000 copies sold in its opening week,[1] staying in the top twenty for six weeks, after the single "Love Don't Cost a Thing" had reached number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The second single, "Play", performed moderately but disappointingly, which led Lopez's team to bring in Ja Rule of The Inc. Records (then known as Murder Inc. Records) to create "Murder remixes" of "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny". These remixes, which are essentially different songs with the same title, both topped the Hot 100. This album is more urban than On The 6 as it leaned towards R&B and less of a pure pop sound.

On July 24, 2001 (coinciding with Lopez's thirty-second birthday), the album was re-released with the Murder Remix of "I'm Real" as a bonus track. The re-release came with a Parental Advisory warning, although the initial release did not come with one. Although there are quite a number of uses strong language and sexual content on the main album itself (specifically in the songs "I'm Real", "Play" and "Come Over"), many speculate that the large number of uses of strong language and racial slurs in the bonus track led the record company to add the Parental Advisory warning to the re-release of the album. This was also the case with Janet Jackson's album All for You (2001), as that album contained strong language and sexual content, but was only given a Parental Advisory sticker upon its re-release (which, coincidentally, also included a bonus remix). It is Lopez's most commercially successful album to date with nearly eight million copies sold worldwide.[2]

Music

J.Lo was more urban oriented than her debut album, On the 6, which incorporates dance-pop, R&B and latin pop. The style and sound of the album was compared to the works of Janet Jackson, Gloria Estefan, Selena, Aaliyah, Paula Abdul, TLC.[3][4] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine called the album "a mixed bag: part retro dance-pop, part prescription R&B, and part Latin."[3] "Love Don't Cost a Thing", which is the album's opening track, was produced by Ric Wake. According to Cinquemani, some songs on the album have '80s and '90s styles, as he described "I'm Real" to a "reminiscent of Janet" and "Walking on Sunshine" to a '90s standards with a retro sound, drawing comparisons to "Waiting for Tonight."[3] It is followed by the Latin-oriented "Ain't It Funny", which contains a choir of back-up vocalists singing the chorus. Described as a "mixed-meter piece of self-empowerment,"[3] "That's Not Me" is an arrangement of acoustic guitar, piano and complex vocals.[3]

Release and promotion

The album's lead single, "Love Don't Cost a Thing", was included on the soundtrack of the film, The Wedding Planner, in which she starred in. The album was re-released on July 24, 2001 with the Murder Remix of "I'm Real" as a bonus track. The initial release of the album did not come with a Parental Advisory warning, although when the album was re-released the record label added the Parental Advisory warning to the re-release of the album. A remix album version of the album, J to tha L–O!: The Remixes, was released on February 6, 2002 in the United States by Epic Records. The remix album became the first to debut at number one on the Billboard 200,[5] selling over 156,000 copies in its opening week.[6] It is also the third best-selling remix album of all time, after Michael Jackson's Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix (1997) and Madonna's You Can Dance (1987). It featured three new singles, "Ain't It Funny" (Murder Remix), "I'm Gonna Be Alright" (Track Masters Remix), and "Alive" including two collaborations with rapper Ja Rule.

"Love Don't Cost a Thing" was released as the album's lead single. The song topped the charts in the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand, as well as reaching the top ten in many other countries.[7] "Play", the second single, was less successful than "Love Don't Cost a Thing", having managed a peak position of number eighteen on the Hot 100. The song was well-received in the in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and Switzerland.[8] The third single, "Ain't It Funny", failed to chart in the United States although reached the top ten in the UK. "I'm Real", the album's final commercial single in the United States, peaked at number one on the Hot 100,[9] as well as reaching the top ten in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Upon its release, J.Lo received generally mixed reviews from music critics. According to Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, it received an average score of 52 based on 11 reviews.[14] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic stated, "Essentially, this is the same album as On the Six, only a little longer with a little less focus and not as many memorable songs. This lack of winning singles becomes a drag, since at over an hour, the record meanders much longer than it should. [...] meander isn't really the right word, because the album sets its tone from the start".[10] Tom Sinclair of Entertainment Weekly gave J.Lo a C- and commented on Lopez's vocals saying that "There's no way to know if Jennifer Lopez's voice is mechanically altered or not, but on the recorded evidence of her sophomore album, J.Lo, her singing seems to be in key".[11] Sinclair also added, "Our gal consistently aims for the lowest common denominator, shamelessly spouting disco era banalities ... on several dance tracks, and cooing about L U V and S E X everywhere else."[11]

Jon Pareles of Rolling Stone felt "that most of the music sounds like jigsaw puzzles: showers of tiny bits and pieces that interlock as complex, coherent songs."[13] Pareles also stated that "Lopez tries to coo and whisper" on the ballads while comparing her vocals to that of Janet Jackson.[13] He disapproved of latin pop songs like "Ain't It Funny" and "Si Ya Se Acabó" commenting, "She piles on Hispanic signifiers ... only to sound like she's repeatedly remaking Madonna's "Isla Bonita."[13] Christian Ward of NME gave the album negative reviews, giving it a 3/10 rating while describing Lopez to a market between, like, Janet Jackson and Gloria Estefan.[12] Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani felt "that so many of the tracks on her sophomore effort, J. Lo, sound like they're straight out of 1986" and compared the album to Janet Jackson's Control era.[3] Jake Barnes of Yahoo! Music UK gave the album 5 out of 10 stars and said that "The number one hit 'Love Don't Cost A Thing' kicks off this 15 track album and from then on it's kind of ... OK-Lo."[4]

Commercial performance

In the United States, J.Lo debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, grossing a total of over 272,000 copies sold in its opening week.[1] In addition, her 2001 film, The Wedding Planner, opened at number one at the box office making her the first actress and singer in history to have a film and an album, at number one in the same week.[15] The album was first certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 28, 2001, denoting 500,000 units shipped within the United States.[16] The same day, the album's certification was raised to platinum, denoting 1,000,000 units shipped.[16] Seven months later, J.Lo was certified multi-platinum on August 3, 2001 and then certified triple platinum on November 2, 2001.[16] Two years later, it was again certified 4× Multi-Platinum on October 31, 2003.[16] In the United Kingdom, it reached number two on the UK Albums Chart, just behind Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water.[17]
