Description

Marriage can change a person, and it sure seems to have changed Jennifer Lopez. Ever since she tied the knot to salsa superstar Marc Anthony, Lopez has quietly receded from the tabloids, retiring her J-Lo appellation in the process, and turned toward the same Latin audience that is Anthony's constituency. She took a supporting role as his wife in the biopic of legend Héctor Lavoe, El Cantante, but before that hit the theaters in the summer of 2007, she released her first all-Spanish album, Como Ama una Mujer, in March. What's startling about Como Ama una Mujer is that it sounds as if Lopez ismore… not only content to play his wife on screen, she's content to now make music for housewives, which this album most certainly is. This is a slick, ballad-heavy affair that pointedly avoids any current trends either among Latin record-buyers or crossover artists, along with pointedly avoiding the intoxicating, glittery dance-pop of her English-language releases. Certainly, it's not as daring as Shakira, but it's not as thrilling as any random video you'll see on Latin MTV — and it's by far the most sedate Lopez has ever been on record, an album that almost plays as matronly. She acquits herself well as a vocalist — she never indulges in vocal gymnastics, but she can carry a tune strongly — but this is an album misconceived at its very core as it abandons everything that was appealing about Lopez the pop star in favor of music that's classy and placid. Musically, this is interchangeable from any number of soft, ballad-driven Latin pop releases from the last decade or so. If Lopez truly wanted to make a splash into a new market, she should have acted like the star she already is instead of this dull wallflower she's become.
