![]() ![]() But his influence (along with Kevin “She’kspere” Briggs and their shared source, Timbaland) is all over the album, as acoustic guitars and computer-generated harpsichord tones pick out airy, minimalist lattices. ![]() Rodney (“Say My Name”) Jerkins produced only two songs on J.Lo, and they’re not his best. Modeled around her merely adequate, studio-assisted voice, J.Lo shamelessly follows the lead of TLC, Destiny’s Child, Janet Jackson and Madonna, as Lopez singsongs through one clever staccato construction after another. So it’s fitting that most of the music sounds like jigsaw puzzles: showers of tiny bits and pieces that interlock as complex, coherent songs. In “I’m Real,” one of seven songs on J.Lo for which Lopez shares writing credit, she offers voluptuous good times as long as you “don’t ask me where I’ve been.” While she brags that she’s made you fall in love, an admiring male voice chants, “She’s a bad, bad bitch.” Getting through the post-feminist hip-hop contradictions here is more of a brain twister than finding the bad guy in The Cell.
