Music reviews of This Is Me...Then
Music Review: Jenny's New Sound
Rating: 5 Stars
When I listen to "This Is Me...Then" the first thing that jumps out at me is the maturity within the music. Ordinarily and if you read my other reviews of her albums, the first thing that stand's out to me is individual songs and that is the focus of my review and evaluation. However, I find the focus and evaluation undertaken here is directly involved with the maturity of the sound of the record. Jenny sounds for the first time introspective on an album of hers and I appreciate the insight and her letting us into her world. To finish up I will say that at the time, I thought this was her best record to date and while I think over time I have put J-Lo back above it and I think Brave might be her best, "This Is Me...Then" is a Masterpiece. I particularly enjoy the upbeat "Loving You", the soaring duet "All I Have", The very sweet "Baby, I Love You" and finally the hauntingly beautiful "Again" and the very moving "The One". Oh yeah I also love the peaceful and soothing "I've Been Thinkin".
Again this is a Masterpiece, Go out and give it a try.
Description of This Is Me...Then
Between her first and second albums, Jennifer Lopez moved from sharp hip-hop to a slicker sound that captured the sass and heat of the streets, thanks mainly to the production acumen of her erstwhile boyfriend Sean "Puffy" Combs. On her third album, This Is Me ... Then, Lopez shows she's just as facile as her ex in changing names as well as musical personas. She abandons the impish J-Lo moniker for a more benign, and less interesting, Jenny, who makes an appearance on "Jenny from the Block." Here, Lopez insists she is still the same down-to-earth girl who emerged from the Bronx a decade before mega-stardom hit: "I used to have a little/ Now I have a lot," she chirps before cautioning, "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got/ I'm still Jenny from the block." The claim stretches credibility given her well-documented status as a diva, but "Jenny" shows more pizzazz and humor on the album than anything else, except for her saucy duet with LL Cool J on "All I Have." Elsewhere, the album--which includes nine songs cowritten by Lopez--serves up a recycled paean to '70s soul, an anemic cover of Carly Simon's vituperative "You Belong to Me," and cloying ballads inspired by her new fianc?, actor Ben Affleck. Lopez dedicated the disc to the actor and includes a far-too-personal and gooey love song to him titled "Dear Ben." In it, she declares: "You'll always be my lust, my love, my man, my child, my friend and my king." There's plenty of love here, but what's missing is the verve and crackle of Lopez's earlier stuff. --Jaan UhelszkiGeneral CDs
