Jennifer Lopez - Love?

Jennifer Lopez - Love?Jennifer Lopez is a longtime multi-tasker. At five, she was taking singing and dancing lessons. As a teenager, she started acting and got her first break on TV’s In Living Color. After dancing briefly for Janet Jackson, she landed her breakthrough part in the 1997 movie Selena. Two years later, she released her debut album, On the 6.

A bona fide brand, Lopez has sold over 55 million albums, appeared in two dozen films and launched her own perfume and fashion line. These days, J.Lo is juggling other duties, including wife to singer Marc Anthony, mother to their twins and judge on American Idol. Add to that her latest album, Love?, which she describes as her most personal to date. “You can’t help but put not only your kids into it, but anything you are going through,” she says of the songs. Although happy in marriage, she adds, “Love is the most confusing thing in the world, that’s why the album is called Love with a question mark.”

With its club-ready r&b, pop and hip-hop, Love? is destined to return Lopez to the charts. “On the Floor,” featuring rapper Pitbull and a “Lambada” sample, is already a smash. Also chart worthy is the booty-shaking “I’m Into You,” a duet with rapper Lil’ Wayne. The album’s most autobiographical number is “One Love,” where she references paramours past and present, including Sean Combs, Ben Affleck and husband Marc. Writing from the heart, multi-talented J.Lo clearly has yet another hit on her hands.
