RedOne+Jennifer Lopez=Lambada


CHART SPOTLIGHT. WelcheMusic has closely followed Jennifer Lopez career and recently reported about her collaboration with the Swedish producer RedOne. The question is – will Lopez get the Lady Gaga effect? Well, she got Pitbull anyway.

Her way back to the record aisles has been quite strenuous. There was this mishap at the Grammys when performing the 2009 single “Louboutins,” and then there was…nothing. The new single “On the Floor” borrows heavily from Kaoma’s 1989 hit “Lambada.” Mix this with Edward Maya’s “Stereo Love,” Nightcrawlers’ “Push the Feeling On” and you’ll have the new Jennifer Lopez.

Expect the track to impact in the US next week as “La Vida Lopez” joins American Idol as the new juror. Don’t expect the same level of enthusiasm as fans provided Britney Spears lately. She’s doing just fine – images from the red carpet shows her in Zuhair Murad at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards where she attended with hubby Marc Anthony. Do you remember that they recorded the duet “No me ames” on her debut album On the 6?

Jennifer Lopez’ last big song to reach the US Top 20 was “Get Right” a No.12 hit in 2005 – it even topped the UK singles chart! Will 2011 be the year when Jennifer Lopez returns to the charts?

UPDATE 03-04: Read everything about Jennifer Lopez comeback to the charts as “On the Floor” races the tallies worldwide.

Can Lady Gaga’s Producer Revive Jennifer Lopez

The Swedish producer RedOne will help Jennifer Lopez with new material. She’s in dire need as WelcheMusic pointed out in the earlier blogpost “Will Jennifer Lopez Return to Her Former Glory?” RedOne has produced a majority of Lady Gaga’s hits, including “Just Dance” and “Bad Romance.” According to Expressen, “[Jennifer’s] very positive and content. She knows what she wants.” Jennifer Lopez is currently one of the judges on American Idol. RedOne is launching Swedish Mohombi in the States. His “Bumby Ride” has become a pan-European hit and will promoted in the US.

So far, Jennifer Lopez has produced seven studio albums. The last single was “Louboutins” in 2009, which peaked at No.1 on the US dance chart. The singer debuted in 1999 with “If You Had My Love” – a Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper, which peaked at No.4 in the UK.
