About J.Lo [Holland Bonus Tracks]

J. Lo is the second studio album by American singer Jennifer Lopez. It was released on January 23, 2001, by Epic Records. Lopez began recording the album in April 2000, enlisting producers such as Cory Rooney, Troy Oliver, Dan Shea and Sean Combs, all of whom she had worked with on her debut album On the 6 (1999). The album's title refers to the nickname given to her by fans, with Lopez describing it as an homage to her supporters. Drawing from her own experiences, Lopez included more personal songs on this album, which deals with themes of relationships, empowerment and sex. J. Lo is a primarily pop album which encompasses R&B, Latin pop, retro and dance-pop. Upon its release, the album received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who criticized its manufactured sound, while praising its Spanish and dance material. Commercially, J. Lo debuted atop the US Billboard 200 the same week as her film The Wedding Planner opened at number one at the domestic box office, making Lopez the first entertainer to have a number one album and film simultaneously. The album was certified quadruple platinum in the United States, making it her highest-selling to date, and became the sixth most successful album of the year worldwide. more »
