Title: run of the mill
Product review: This debut album by Jennifer Lopez works only because of her undeniable star power. Most of the songs on the album are very average and similar sounding ballads. Only 3 songs stand out. "If You had my love", the first single, produced by Rodney Jerkins, is a sexy dance number which reminds one of Toni Braxton's booty call classic "You're makin' me high". "Waiting for Tonight" is a very Mariah-esque house number, not unlike Ms Carey's own "Someday" or "Prisoner". Perhaps the best song on the whole album is "No Me Ames", her duet with Marc Anthony, which is a breezy latin ballad which evokes summer, palm trees and lazing on the beach with a cocktail in your hand. The Puff Daddy-produced "Feelin' so good" is the worst song on the album. It ranks as Puffy's worst production effort yet, even though it features a rap by Latino MC, Big Punisher. Jennifer Lopez will probably evolve with her subsequent albums, but for now, she is stuck with a very average and uninspiring debut album.
