Album - Rebirth: Music Review

Artiste: Jennifer Lopez
Album: Rebirth
Rating: 2/5

Big Boi, Timbaland and Rodney Jerkins are among the producers for J.Lo’s first album in three years. Other guests include Fat Joe, Fabolous and Marc Anthony.

Focused, slick and likable as Rebirth undeniably is in places, the fact that the Limited Edition comes with a sample of Ms Lopez’s new fragrance, confirms that its still just another shameless exercise.

It says a lot about an album when the best song, Get Right, is actually a leftover from Usher’s Confessions. Though Lopez often comes off as little more than a featherweight studio concoction, Rebirth contains a few moments with the sugary snap of fresh bubble gum. The album’s drawback lies not with the producers or the material, but with Lopez herself.
