Christened after the nickname given to her by supporters, the ‘J.Lo’ LP served s a pivotal shift for the Bronx native; one which saw her lean more into her regional roots. Both sonically and aesthetically. It’s widely considered a cornerstone of the Y2K era.
The album launched at #1 on the Billboard 200, the same week her romantic comedy The Wedding Planner topped the Stateside box office, making her one of the few entertainers to lead both charts simultaneously.
The era also delivered signature hits, including Love Don’t Cost a Thing, which became a global smash, as well as ‘I’m Real,’ and ‘Play.’
News of the ‘J.Lo’ 25th anniversary edition comes as the diva dazzles at her ‘Up All Night’ residency in Las Vegas.
