Title: JENNY TONES IT DOWN
Product review: While it's certain Jennifer Lopez is no Mariah Carey (or Madonna for that matter), she has decided to tone down what she's famous for, catchy computerized noise and all-star producing. Only the bare essentials are evident on this record, a neo-soul filler album that it seems only devotees could love. Being one such devotee, I loved it. The ever-catchy "Jenny from the block" is extremely dancable, while her blatantly bland "Glad" falls just short of boring. She brings a more earthy feeling to a Carly Simon classic, "You Belong To Me" and records one of her best tracks yet, the smile-inducing "Baby I Love You." While this record isn't nearly as polished or hit-worthy as her past efforts, "This is me...then" seems to be a stepping stone to something better.
