With its collection of remixed hits, J TO THA L-O! is Jennifer Lopez's bid to establish her place in the world of dance music. Guest shots abound as fellow Bronx native Fat Joe pops up on the chart-topping RJ Schoolyard Mix of "Love Don't Cost A Thing" while P. Diddy and G. Dep sprinkle rhymes over the Tom Tom Club-flavored bleeping of the Bad Boy Remix of "Feelin' So Good." Ja Rule also makes his presence known on the Murder Remix of "I'm Real" before hooking up with Caddilac Tah to transform "Ain't It Funny" into a slower, hip-hop flavored outing.

Elsewhere, a bevy of producers take Lopez into various strains of dance music. Pablo Flores puts a house spin on "Let's Get Loud," Metro's Mark and Jeff Taylor take "I'm Walking On Sunshine" to Ibiza via jacked-up BPM and breezy flamenco guitar, and Hex Hector pumps ambient-flavored beats into a juiced version of "Waiting For Tonight." Co-written by hubby Cris Judd, the ballad "Alive" (from the motion picture ENOUGH) is the only cut that deviates from J TO THAT L-O!'s all-encompassing dance theme.

What the critics say...

Q (4/02, p.116) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...Ja Rule weighs in tellingly on a reheated 'I'm Real' and new single 'Ain't It Funny', P.Diddy's canny restructuring of 'Feeliln' So Good' improves on the original, and Hex's bleep-friendly remix of 'Waiting For Tonight' is surprisingly ace."
