The follow up to On The Floor
Spyke
Since appearing on American Idol this season I have become a massive fan of J.Lo. The show has allowed us to see what a fantastic person she really is; just as Cheryl won the heart of the nation here when she appeared on the X Factor, J.Lo is doing the same stateside. However whereas Cheryl appears so meticulous and composed, Jennifer Lopez comes across as very entertainingly and yet entirely genuine at the same time. I can't help but sense that every word Cheryl says and every tear in her eye is somewhat planned and staged, so I'm intrigued to how well she handles the comparisons if she does get that US X Factor seat.
Jennifer Jopez is after all the most beautiful woman in the world (according to People Magazine this week). After climbing to the top of itunes charts internationally with the Red One produced On The Floor, here we get a more subtle second single from her upcoming album 'LOVE?'. This might not quite have the same hooks as its predecessor but it fits very comfortably on my current playlist.
In the build up to Tha Carter IV Lil Wayne has found time to fit in on this record. It's a pretty standard rap which neither makes or break the song, but maybe they were trying to replicate the success of Drake's sexually charged intro to What's My Name? - unfortunately they don't quite get there. J.Lo opens with a brief verse before going straight into the chorus singing 'When I look into your eyes it's over, you got me hooked with your love controller', emphasising how much she has fallen for this guy - though in my experience girls aren't quite as blatant with their advances.
This track is definitely a grower and gets better with each listen. It is, however, just a weaker version of Rihanna's What's My Name?. Subtle sexual references and similar-sounding backing track, a featured rapper and plenty of Na Na Na's to keep you busy; all they need now is for J.Lo to go and spill some milk in her corner shop for the video.
