Jennifer Lopez goes unabashedly romantic with Como Ama Una Mujer

“The buzz swirling around “Como Ama Una Mujer” “How a Woman Loves” is that its Jennifer Lopezs first album sung entirely in Spanish. Big deal. Shes always been singing en español, starting with “No Me Ames,” the salsa hit with Marc Anthony then just a twinkle in her mascaraed eye from her 1999 debut, “On the 6.”

What’s remarkable about “Como Ama Una Mujer,” which is released today, is how willfully out of synch it is with the latest trends in Latin pop music. There are none of the faux-R&B beats you’d hear on an RBD album, no ramped-up guitars suited for Juanes, and no remixed dance anthems tacked onto the end for maximum club rotation. Most notably, there’s not a hint of the hip-hop that has propelled much of Lopez’s music. (Sorry, no Ja Rule cameos, either.)”
