Jennifer Lopez Discusses “Love” and her Split with Sony Epic

Jennifer Lopez has been working on her new album “Love” with Sony Epic, but recently announced that she has left her record label. Jennifer has a long history with Epic, as they are behind all her hits, but she was quickly signed on to Island Def Jam. LA Reid, the very same person who added Jennifer to Def Jam’s family is working on her “Love” album, and making some changes before it will be released.  Here’s what Jenny from the block had to say about her recent split with Sony:

Let’s talk about your split with Sony. Was it friendly?
Totally. We knew some people would try to paint a negative picture, but the split wasn’t negative at all. I gave them seven albums and fulfilled my contract, and had tremendous successes — over 40 million records. It was time for something new, a fresh start.

It was hard to leave — Sony Epic was my whole history. But in my heart, I knew it was time, and that maybe a fresh team and fresh blood were what was required. All the people I’d worked with at Sony were gone; it was all new people I had no history with.

At Island Def Jam, we’re going to work on finishing this album. Stuff I’d been performing here and there will be on it, the dance cuts previously released. And new stuff. We’re aiming for end of summer, but it’ll be when it’s ready.

Well if Def Jam doesn’t work, Jennifer could always sign on to comedy, she did a good job on SNL!

Jennifer Lopez Signs with Island Def Jam

Jennifer Lopez has signed with L.A. Reid’s Island Def Jam label. Since her split from Sony’s Epic Records rumours were circulating a possible deal between the two, but never confirmed.

During an interview on Jennifer’s “The Back-Up Plan” she was asked whether she was signing with Def Jam and she happily said yes. Reid will not only add her to his famous record label, but will also produce her next album.

“Louboutins” and other singles were so disappointing that her seventh studio album “Love” was never released. Jennifer has produced a lot of poor music lately, let’s hope that this new deal will bring the old “Jenny from the block” back.

Jennifer Lopez - Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve

Ryan Seacrest managed to convince Jennifer Lopez to perform on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. She performed “Louboutins”, “Waiting For Tonight”, and “Let’s Get Loud” wearing a cat suits with studded diamonds. Jennifer looked amazing, and proved that' she’s still got it!

Ryan Seacrest even said: “That outfit has made my year!”

'You didn't think I could do that in the rain did you?' Jennifer Lopez said after risking a major wardrobe malfunction with a hugely energetic routine.

New Jennifer Lopez Song - "Fresh Out The Oven"

Jennifer Lopez has just released a new track titled "Fresh Out of the Oven". Having rapper Pitbull on the hook, the track is produced by The Neptunes and contains up-tempo jams which allow people to dance.

When the track came out, rumor suggested it would be included in Jennifer's upcoming studio album tentatively titled "Love". There was also speculation that she would launch her alter ego, Lola. However, both reports were turned down by her camp.

"This is a hot club record that the label loved and Jennifer thought was fun," Amanda Ghost, president of Epic Records explained to People. "Jennifer and Pitbull got together and the record leaked. Lola is a fun character just for this song." A source close to the singer emphasized, "Lola is just for this song, it's not her ongoing persona. It's something fun. She hasn't become Sasha Fierce [Beyonce Knowles' artistic alter ego]. There won't be anything to do with Lola on her 'Love?' album."

What do you think, is Jennifer Lopez trying to copy Beyonce? Sasha Fierce worked so well for her, maybe Jennifer thinks she can do a great comeback with a new name.

New Jennifer Lopez Album

Jennifer Lopez has announced it herself, her next single will be released this September and her album sometime next year. Jennifer spilled the beans during an interview with Italian TV Channel 5.

Pitbull tweeted about working with her and Jim Jonsin in this studio project. Furthermore, it was said that Mike Caren, the mastermind behind Madonna, Beyonce Knowles, T.I. and Keyshia Cole's hit singles, will also make contribution to the set.

New Jennifer Lopez Song - What Is Love

It seems like Jennifer Lopez will be coming back to the music scene soon. A new song titled "What Is Love" has leaked. It is written by Wynter Gordon, an aspiring singer, and produced by Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins.

Jennifer is also currently working on her new movie "The Backup Plan". In this new comedy, Lopex plays a woman who conceives twins through artificial insemination, only to meet the man of her dreams on the very same day.
