Love? is the upcoming seventh studio album by American recording artist and actress Jennifer Lopez. Conceived during the pregnancy of her twins Emme and Max, Love? is Lopez's most personal album to date, taking inspiration from the birth of her twins and her own experiences with love. Recording for the album began in 2009, with an original release date for the project was set for January 2010 to coincide with Lopez's latest film The Back-up Plan. However following the lack of success with lead single "Louboutins", Lopez and Sony Music Entertainment decided to end their ten year partnership leaving the fate of Love? in uncertainty. In 2010, Lopez has signed a new record deal with Island Def Jam, which will see her release Love? in 2011.

Currently the album is set to include a mixture of previously recorded material, along with new records with Tricky Stewart, The-Dream and RedOne commissioned by Island Records. The album will combine R&B, pop music and hip hop songs for a mixture of club-ready singles as well as slower mid-tempo songs. Lopez refers to Love? as containing her best vocals to date. The album's first single under Island Records is "On the Floor" and features Pitbull. It is the first release from Love? to garner Canadian and U.S. airplay and is currently impacting on charts around the world. Released from February 11, 2011, it is Lopez's first top-ten hit in the United States in eight years. At least one more single will precede the album's release.

Background

Love? is the seventh studio album of Lopez's career and follows the footsteps of her least commercially successful album, Brave (2007), which failed to enter the top-ten of the U.S. Billboard 200.[2] Its foundations can be traced back to late 2007 and early 2008, during Lopez's pregnancy with twins Emme and Max. While pregnant, and while at home after pregnancy, Lopez had been working on new music for future projects.[3] In February 2009, a new song from those recording sessions titled "Hooked on You" leaked online.[4] Lopez would address the leak on her official website in May 2009, where she said "I'm always excited about my music and this ["Hooked on You"] is one of a few tracks I'm currently working on. I'm flattered by everyone's interest in the track and really excited for you to hear the real thing..."[5] Songwriter Wynter Gordon also addressed another leaked from the album, a song that Gordon wrote called "What Is Love". In a personal blog through her official Myspace page, Gordon expressed her discontent that an unfinished, unmastered version of "What Is Love" had been leaked through the internet. "I wrote this song from a deep place in my heart. If the world was gonna hear it . I wanted them to hear it right... Its as good as gone to me now ..The story was given a lifetime tv special instead of a movie .. sad." Gordon did note that she was dissatisfied with the circumstances but was in "no way dissing Lopez."[6] The following month Lopez told MTV's Larry Carol that she was keen to finish the album and several singles, with a potential release date for the end of 2009.[3]

In February 2010, Lopez left Sony Music Entertainment (and Epic Records) by mutual consent.[7] Her departure from the label temporarily halted production on the album.[8] However upon signing a new contract with Island Def Jam Music Group, recording resumed on the album, and Lopez entered the studio with Kuk Harrell[9][10] to record brand new material for the disc.[11] The New York Daily News revealed that Lopez would be taking some of the records recorded under Sony Music to her new label so that they could be included on the album. She said "stuff I'd been performing will be on the album as will previously released dance cuts." According the paper, Island Def Jam will also release a remix disc alongside the album.[11] AOL's music entertainment site, PopEater, later reported that Epic Records had actually shelved Love? and never committed to releasing the album, although this was never confirmed by Lopez, Epic or Island Def Jam.[12] In February 2011, Lopez told BBC that the album was nearly complete. She had around twenty songs recorded from 2009-2011 which were being considered for the album, but she was finding it hard to edit the final tracklisting. "I'm very proud of the album; it's so hard to edit it because I have recorded maybe 20 songs and of course I'm not going to put 20 songs on an album, so to cut out eight to ten of those... it's breaking my heart."[13] Lopez credits Love? as her best album to date because on it she finds "her best vocals to date".[14] The album was executively produced by RedOne and Lopez's new label boss, L.A. Reid.[15]

Music and production

"I'm very proud of who I am as a vocalist from where I started... The voice was always there, I was just so insecure about it in the beginning. Marc [Anthony] helped me so much because he was the one who was like, 'You have a beautiful voice,' I think people are gonna be surprised with some of the vocals on this album. It [will have] urbanny-type tracks on it. Don’t worry. Booty shakers, mid-tempos, feel-good [records]."

— Jennifer Lopez[14]

When asked by Larry Carol, of MTV, as to what type of album she would be making, Lopez said "I just love making great pop/dance music with beautiful lyrics."[3] She also responded to questions about the leaked songs "What Is Love" and "One Love", referring to both songs as singles but stating that its unlikely that "those hits" will be the first singles.[3] "What Is Love" is a deeply personal record written by Wynter Gordon and Emile Dernst.[16] When referring to the song's leak, Gordon said "[What Is Love is about] not knowing what love is ...I felt like so many woman have that same story. No fathers, families, abusive boyfriends and husbands..no parental support, they feel alone .. Ive had my few relationships and have yet to feel love [sic]."[6] Jean Baptist produced a sequal to the song, "What Is Love (Part 2)", which was amongst the songs considered for inclusion on the album.[17] "What Is Love" subsequently appeared on the track listing for the official soundtrack to The Back-up Plan.[18] Gordon also wrote at least two other songs for the album including "Everybody's Girl" co-written by Mike Caren and Shep Crawford. The lyrics speak of whether the female protagonist's man can love her "under the intense glare of the spotlight", over an up-tempo production, while the Nathaniel "Danja" Hills and Gordon-written "Starting Over" describes the hardships of "getting back in the game after a breakup."[17][19][20]

The other leaked song "One Love" was written by Lopez, Antea Birchett, Anesha Birchett and Dernst, as a tribute to her past relationships.[21] According to Rap-Up, Lopez references her famous lovers from the past, Sean Combs ("bad boy from the block"), Ben Affleck ("Came and swept me off my feet") and present husband Marc Anthony ("Made me want to try once more and I couldn’t say no").[17] The Birchett sisters also worked with Muhammed Kateeb and Otis Greyson to write the third leaked song, "Hooked on You."[22] Danja also produced two other songs for the album, "Love and War" and "Keeper". The latter bares some resemblance to T.I.'s "Hell of a Life" (2009) which was also produced by Danja. It also follows in the same vein as "One Love" with lyrics that focus on Lopez searching for and then finding Mr. Right.[17] Meanwhile, Caren and Chris Sernal respectively produced and wrote the guitar-driven ballad "Beautiful", which according to Rap-Up, is resemblant of production work by Ryan Tedder.[17] Lopez worked with Pharell Williams and his production outfit The Neptunes on the album too. One record they produced, "Fresh Out the Oven" was written by Williams, Pitbull, Lopez and Amanda Ghost. It also features additional vocals from Pitbull, but was only ever intended to be a fun record that was leaked by Epic Records and promoted in U.S. night clubs.[23] It topped the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.[7]

However not all of Lopez's collaborators were new, she did reunite with longtime collaborator, Rodney Jerkins (Darkchild) who has worked with Lopez numerous times in the past. Darkchild produced "This Cannot Be Love" for Love?, a song with similar introductory chords to "The Boy Is Mine" (1998) by Brandy Norwood and Monica. "This Cannot Be Love" has a progressive uptempo melody which continues to gather pace of the course of the song, while in the lyrics Lopez "asks if true live exists."[17] When asked what inspired some of the album's records, Lopez told The Advocate, that whenever she records a new album she always thinks of dance music as it is popular in the gay community and club cultures. She said songs like "This Cannot Be Love" have musicality to her worldwide hit, "Waiting for Tonight" (2009), which was well received by the LGBT community. "[This Cannot Be Love] talks about the idea of getting lazy in love. You know how we do that? When you’re with somebody and you’re like: Wait a minute — remember when we were so in love and obsessed with each other? What happened?"[24]

Lopez also worked with Norwegian producers, StarGate on a personal song called "Story of My Life."[17] Other major producers on the album include Christopher "Tricky Stewart" and The-Dream, who produced the album's Epic Records lead single, "Louboutins". The song was initially produced and written by Stewart and The-Dream for Norwood, but following Norwood's departure from Epic Records it was subsequently given to Lopez.[25] The song, backed with strong synths and trumpets "tells the story of a woman stuck in a dead-end relationship with a man who clearly doesn’t deserve her, and with her journey to realizing that and eventually walking out on him", and her frustration that her man is not 100% committed.[26][27] The song managed to top the U.S. Hot Dance Club Songs chart but did not garner any airplay.[7] However critics gave the song mixed reviews often calling the lyrical content "boring", "dated" and "poo,"[28][29][30] although some did appreciate that the song was "catchy" and had some club appeal to it.[31][32] Other songs recorded with Stewart and The-Dream include the Rick Ross-assisted "Run the World" and buzz single "Good Hit". The former has a breezy summer vibe and was tipped by Lopez as a potential single for Summer 2011,[33] while the latter was described by MTV's Chris Ryan as a slick dance bear where "Lopez sings about dropping it low in a voice coated with the much-maligned but incredibly popular vocal filter.[34]

In November 2009, Stewart told Vibe that his and The-Dream's fellow production associate Kuk Harrell, would be producing a lot of the album too. He said "I heard him working on some of the vocals and she has a lot of really good songs, I will say that", The stuff I heard was really good, really strong".[35] Following Lopez's move to Island Def Jam, Lopez re-entered the studio to record new material with Harrell,[9] on of the songs recorded is titled "Greatest Part of Me".[36] Lopez has since revealed that most of the album has been revamped and most production now comes courtesy of Stewart and The-Dream although she recorded several new songs with Moroccan producer RedOne which will make the album.[33] Amongst those recorded with RedOne is the latin music-influenced "On the Floor" which features Pitbull and a sample from Kaoma's 1989 hit single "Lambada".[37] She told fans in March 2011 that she recorded some of the album's songs in Spanish.[38][39]

Release and change of labels

In July 2009, a spokesperson for Lopez told People magazine that Lopez was not replacing Paula Abdul on the eighth season of American Idol because she would be busy promoting her film, The Back-up Plan as well as her new album. Both projects were slated for a January 2010 release, despite Lopez previously stating that she was aiming for the end of 2009.[40] However during an interview with KTU Mornings, Lopez revealed that both the album and film were being pushed back to April 2010.[41] Rap-Up magazine would later confirm that the album and film were being released together in cross-promotion of each other.[17] However this date appeared unlikely when, backstage at the 52nd Grammy Awards ceremony, she said "I'm working on my album that will be out... hopefully this year, we'll see if I get it done... You know how it is, you go in your there non-stop, you leave it alone for a minute and you come back - you're like, okay, this is what I need."[42]

On February 22, 2010, it was announced that Lopez parted ways with Epic Records, leaving the fate of the album in jeopardy.[43] The initial press release from Lopez's manager Benny Medina said: "Jennifer had a wonderful relationship with the Sony Music Group, and they have shared many successes together, but the time was right to make a change that best serves the direction of her career as an actress and recording artist, she is grateful and appreciative to everyone at Sony for all that they accomplished together".[8] That same day, Lopez's representative confirmed the news to Entertainment Weekly and reported that Lopez is negotiating a deal with several other labels.[44] Lopez herself confirmed the split and announced that she found a new label and that the album will be released in the summer of 2010, "I have fulfilled my contractual responsibilities with Sony/Epic up to this point, and we have both reached friendly terms about my departure from the label. I'm also happy to say that we've found a new home for my album, 'Love,' and that it is slated for release in the summer of 2010."[7] Billboard magazine would later go on to confirm that Lopez had signed to Def Jam Records and that the album was now due in Summer 2011.[9][45] According to Rap-Up magazine, the album will now be released on March 29, 2011.[46] Just several weeks after the first announced, Rap-Up announced that the album had been pushed back to April 19, 2011. No reason was given for the new date.[47] This conflicted with comments made by Lopez during an online chat with her fans. On March 13, 2011, Lopez said that album was most likely to come out at the end of May 2011 after at least one more single had been released.[38]

Title and concept

Lopez revealed to MTV that the album would have a very tight and focussed concept. Although in initial interviews she refused to reveal the title or concept, she said the album was personal to her. "You can't help but put not only your kids into it, but to put anything you are going through in your music", she said. "That's the only thing you can really sing or write is stuff that you know. The more music you make and the more that you get into it and the more you write, the more you realize that's all you can write."[3] In October 2009, People magazine revealed that Lopez's album was going to be called Love?.[23] She would tell KIIS FM's DJ Skee, that she had chosen to call her album Love? because love was something that still confused her. "Love is the most confusing thing in the world, that's why the album is called Love with a question mark."[48] Lopez told The Advocate's Brandon Voss that she also took into account the gay community and how they might feel towards the album. She said all her previous albums had a universal appeal and the LGBT community had role to play in the success of her music in the past ("Waiting for Tonight").[24]

During interviews with one of her official fansites, Lopez also revealed that fans could expect a mixture of musical styles like her previous albums. "Expect pop records, R&B and a little hip hop."[49] When Billboard previewed the album in January 2010, Ben-Yehuda Ayala said "Lopez sings, talk-sings and broods (within pop reason) on the subject of love,"[50] while Rap-Up said it is very much in-keeping with the title, "a love roller coaster, taking you through the ups and downs of a relationship."[17] Following her move to Island Def Jam, Lopez said she would still be pressing ahead with the album under the title Love?. "I just feel like it's an endlessly fascinating topic that all my albums have been about. It's still very confusing to me and so I explore that on this album, probably more than my other albums."[49] She also revealed that her husband Marc Anthony initially disproved of the title because he felt that it may imply that the couple were having marital problems. However in interviews with DJ Skee, she said "love has always been a theme of my career and this record wasn't going to be different. The album has a lot of up-tempo, dancy, urban tracks."[48]

Marketing and promotion

As scheduled Lopez performed and officially premiered her new single "Louboutins" at the 2009 American Music Awards, which aired on November 22, 2009. She was subsequently praised for the way that she recovered from an unplanned fall in the middle of the performance.[51] Lopez reprised the performance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on December 3, 2009 where she also laughed and joked about the incident.[52] She was also booked to perform on the season six finale of So You Think You Can Dance on December 16, 2009. The performance took on a holiday theme and was choreographed by the show's team.[53] Her final performance of the year came on December 31, 2009 where Lopez performed "Louboutins" along with a medley of previous hits "Waiting for Tonight" / "Let's Get Loud" at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Lopez's choice of outfit, a shimmering skin-tight cat-suit, received attention from the media with the NY Daily News praising her for her "flawless physique".[54]

On January 18, 2010, on the talk show Lopez Tonight, Lopez appeared in place of George Lopez and opened the show with a ten-minute comedy set. G Lopez appeared after she finished to continue with the show and announced that Jennifer would be back in several weeks with a live band to perform.[55] On February 19, 2010, Lopez performed at the 60th annual Sanremo Music Festival in Sanremo, Italy. She performed a medley of her chart-topping hits, as well as "What is Love?", introducing it as the lead single from the soundtrack of her then-upcoming movie The Back-up Plan.[56][57] On February 27, 2010, Lopez performed and hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live. She performed two new songs: "Pieces" and "Starting Over"[58] although it was later confirmed that the first song Lopez performed was actually called "Until It Beats No More", and not "Pieces" as reported.[49]

On January 16, 2011, a trailer for a new promotional single, "Good Hit", was released. In the video Lopez assumes the role of a teacher to lead a classroom of beauty school students.[59] It was directed by Alex Moors back in October 2010, back to back with another song called "Take Care".[60] It is Love?'s second buzz single after "Fresh Out the Oven" with Pitbull (2009).[23] The debut of the album's first official single, "On the Floor" with Pitbull, was timed to coincide with the premier of Lopez's L'Oréal hair commercial during the 68th Golden Globe Awards ceremony and her debut as a full-time judge on season ten of American Idol.[61]

Singles

The album's first single under Island Records is titled "On the Floor". The uptempo dance song features rapper Pitbull along with a sample of Kaoma's 1989 hit single "Lambada", and elements of house and latin music.[37] It was sent to CHR/Mainstream radio on February 8, 2011,[62] and will be released for music download two weeks later.[63] The song was well received by critics who compared it to Lopez's 1999 debut single "If You Had My Love",[64] and her turn of the millennium hit single "Waiting for Tonight".[61][65] However the lyrics and music video were both compared to Kat DeLuna's single "Party O'Clock" (2010), to which DeLuna expressed dismay towards.[66][67] In the chart week ending February 12, 2011, "On the Floor" made its Canadian Hot 100 chart debut at number eighty-six.[68] It is consequently the first single from Love? to receive recognition on Billboard charts, after the Epic Records' buzz single "Fresh Out the Oven" (also features Pitbull) and previous lead single, "Louboutins" failed to receive any airplay.[7]

During an online chat, with fans, in March 2011, Lopez revealed that the second single is likely to be a new song titled "I'm Into You". It features, what Lopez called, her favorite male rapper, Lil Wayne and will precede the album's release.[38][39]
