Produktbeschreibungen
Die Musikkarriere von Jennifer Lopez ist, das darf man nach 25 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern innerhalb von nur vier Jahren ruhig einmal sagen, bisher phänomenal verlaufen. Die Sängerin aus New York präsentiert gut zehn Monate nach ihrer überaus erfolgreichen Remix-Kollektion J To Tha L-O elf erstklassige Songs, mit denen sie erneut die ganze emotionale Bandbreite abdeckt, von klassischen Balladen wie "Again" über geschmeidige Midtempo-Nummern wie das gemeinsam mit LL Cool J aufgenommene "All I Have" bis hin zu HipHop-lastigen Tracks wie "Jenny From The Block", bei dem sie auf die Hilfe von Rappern wie Styles und Jadakiss zurückgreift.
Jennifer Lopez klingt auf ihrem dritten Studioalbum hörbar gereift. Ihre Gratwanderung zwischen Pop, Soul, R&B und HipHop, bei der sie erstmals auch als Co-Autorin in Erscheinung tritt, funktioniert sogar noch besser als gewohnt. Zu den herausragenden Songs zählt neben dem mit deutlichen Referenzen an die 80er-Jahre ausgestatteten "I'm Glad" und dem fast schwerelos dahingleitenden "I've Been Thinkin'" vor allem das mit einem lässigen Funk-Groove veredelte "You Belong To Me" aus der Feder von Carly Simon und Michael McDonald, in dem sie einmal mehr ihre herausragenden gesanglichen Talente unter Beweis stellt. Mit diesem Album muss sie sich vor der Konkurrenz in Form von Britney Spears, Shakira und Kylie Minogue nun wirklich nicht verstecken. --Norbert Schiegl

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Don't pay attention to the title, which is absolutely nonsensical and bewildering — it suggests that This Is Me...Then is a compilation, which it isn't, and it also suggests that this has some sort of theme, which it doesn't — and concentrate on the music, which is the strongest, sultriest, best music Jennifer Lopez (who has abandoned the moniker J-Lo) has recorded for any of her three albums. This, of course, doesn't mean that it's a radical musical departure, though there are differences here — the glitzy dance-pop has been phased out, there's a stronger urban soul vibe, particularly on the lush surfaces and sexy grooves — but it does mean that the album has a solid set of songs and a sharp production pitched directly at the mainstream of 2002, yet with nice allusions to classic soul and early-'80s pop-funk and soft rock. Since Lopez is a celebrity and a regular feature on gossip pages in the early days of the 21st century, and since she's unabashedly mainstream — her only attempts at street-cred are on the laughable lyrics to "Jenny From the Block," where she insists that success hasn't spoiled her yet and she's the same ol' Jen she's always been (if so, why the paparazzi on the back cover?) — it's easy for some listeners to dismiss her, but it's harder to make to make a pop album as easily enjoyable as this. Sure, there are some flaws — as mentioned above, "Jenny From the Block" is silly and no matter how much you love Ben Affleck, "Dear Ben" is unbearably mawkish — but all mainstream pop albums stumble through filler. What counts is the overall feel and the highlights. Here, the feel is sexy, stylish, and fun, and there are numerous highlights, all feeling effortless. And if you think that's easy to do, take a listen to a few other pop-R&B albums from late 2002 (Stripped and Charmbracelet come to mind) and hear how good this record is.
