HMV Review

Jennifer Lopez's debut album, On the 6, showcases the actress' sultry, versatile voice in a number of settings, including pop ballads, Latin pop, and R&B. Star producers like Sean Puffy Combs, Trackmasters, and Emilio Estefan, Jr. lend their talents to the album, making On the 6 a perfectly polished and varied album, which features a musical blend Lopez calls Latin soul. Smooth ballads such as Should've Never, Too Late, Could This Be Love, and No Me Ames, a duet with Latin superstar Marc Anthony, dominate the album's first half; while these songs show off the gentler side of Lopez's vocal gifts, they tend to sound too similar. It's on the R&B and Latin-tinged tracks where Lopez really shines. Along with the insistent first single If You Had My Love, cuts like Feelin' So Good and Let's Get Loud have a fiery, soulful sound more in keeping with Lopez's public persona. On the 6's second half capitalizes on this spicy, upbeat side, particularly on Waiting for Tonight and Open off My Love, which draws inspiration from rap, R&B, and Latin styles with its sparse arrangement of horns, keyboards, and beats. The tropical remix of No Me Ames and Una Noche Mas, the Spanish version of Waiting for Tonight, emphasize Lopez's distinctive heritage, which elevates On the 6 from a star's vanity project to an individual but accessible work of pop songcraft by a widely talented performer. [The Holland release adds two bonus tracks: Baila and Theme From Mahagony (Do You Know Where You're Going To).] ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

    アタシ、ジェニファーよ。このアルバムはアタシの記念すべきデビューアルバム。ロドニーがプロデュースしてくれたデビュー曲は1位になったわ。これもすべてアタシの実力だけどね。みんながアタシの歌声を聞きたがっているの。それに見事答えた素晴らしアルバムよ。

    すごい歌が聴けます、、、 しかしトラックは結構ちゃんと作られているのでトラックを聞きましょう。 特に4曲目のグダグダの歌とさわやかできめ細かいプロデュースのギャップはある意味、奇跡。バックコーラスがもう曲を引っ張ってて、ジェニファーが「でぃーじぇーい」と歌う時の脱力感といったら。その後、ジェニファーは下手なヴォーカルと恵まれたトラックというギャップを利用しながら、他の歌手では狙えなさそうなセンでヒットを連発することとなる。 ちなみにon the sixとは彼女が成功する以前に毎日のっていた六番ホームの電車のことらし
