This Is Me... Then is the third English-language studio album by American recording artist and actress Jennifer Lopez, released on November 19, 2002 by Epic Records. The album was more R&B oriented than her previous albums, On The 6 (1999) and J.Lo (2001), and was noted as a departure from her previous dance-pop material. Originally planned for a December release, after the leak of the lead single "Jenny From the Block", Lopez announced that the album would be released in November.[1]

During the album's production, Lopez was in a relationship with actor Ben Affleck. The relationship, dubbed as "Bennifer" by the media, was the center inspiration for This Is Me... Then, with much of the songs and lyrical structure declaring her love for Affleck, most notably love songs like "Dear Ben" and "Baby I Love U!". Lopez worked with producers such as long-time collaborator Cory Rooney and Troy Oliver. Lopez had more input on this album than her previous, co-writing, writing and producing more tracks. Critics said that despite Lopez's vocal limitations, the album was "fuller" and had a richer sound than her previous works.[2] Overall, critics were divided over the reaction of This Is Me... Then; while some highlighted Lopez's growth as a performer and vocalist, others labeled it as "annoying" for its love themes.

This Is Me... Then debuted at six on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. It propelled to two on that chart months later. In the United States, This Is Me... Then was the 12th-best-selling album by the end of 2003, and has since earned triple certification. Its sales in the United States stand at 2,593,000 as of October 2010. [3] The album spawned four singles, which performed moderately on the charts. "Jenny from the Block" (featuring Styles P and Jadakiss) was released as the first, reaching the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, while its second single "All I Have" (featuring LL Cool J) topped the chart. Soul-tinged tracks "I'm Glad" and "Baby I Love U!" served as the third and fourth singles.

Background and production

This album features more of Lopez's writings then her previous albums, which consisted of other writers and producers.[1][4] It also had more of an R&B focus. Cory Rooney who has worked with Destiny's Child, Mariah Carey and Marc Anthony, and worked intensely with Lopez on her sophomore album J.Lo (2001),[5] had production credits on 11 songs on the album and writing credits on 9. Other producers featured on the album include Troy Oliver, Dan Shea, Poke & Tone (Trackmasters), Davy Deluge, Ron G, Dave McPherson, Rich Shelton, Kevin Veney, Loren Hill and Reggie Hamlet.

Musically, majority of the songs on This Is Me... Then were lyrically "dedicated" to her relationship with then-fiancé, actor Ben Affleck.[6] The Age newspaper said the album was a "declaration" of love for Affleck.[6] During an interview, Lopez said "I wrote a lot of songs inspired, in a way, by what I was going through at the time that this album was being made, and he [Affleck] was definitely a big part of that."[7] Several critics highlighted that the album showed how "smitten" she was, and that the content was borderline "annoying".[8]

During the production of the album, Affleck and Lopez were a prominent super couple in the media, and were dubbed as "Bennifer". Lopez stated "We try to make the best of it [...] I'm not saying there's not times that we wish [we] could just be going to the movies and come out and there's not a crowd there waiting. You just want to spend your Sunday afternoon not working, but at the same time we both love what we do. If that's something that's part of it, then that's fine. We feel the love and we're very happy about it."[7] The overexposure from the media and public interest in their relationship resulted in less admiration for their work and negatively affected their careers.[9][10][11]

Composition

This Is Me... Then was described as more of a Minnie Riperton sound then her previous album, J.Lo had, which was more of a "Missy Elliot sound".[12] The album's lead single, "Jenny from the Block" attempts to contrast the life of Lopez growing up in the Bronx, New York City, with her later life as a celebrity. She claims that despite her success, she is still "Jenny from the block." Its lyrics refer to Lopez's first two albums, On the 6 and J.Lo. "Jenny from the Block" also contains samples of Beatnuts' 1999 hit "Watch Out Now" Herbie Mann's "Hijack" and KRS-One's "South Bronx." Faith Hill would revisit the same theme of being true to one's roots in a country music context for her 2005 hit "Mississippi Girl," which many observers compared to "Jenny from the Block".[13] The song "intones her (Lopez) modest childhood roots vowing she wishes to remain simple despite her diamonds."[6] The first track on the album "Still" is a song to a departed lover, and is considered by critics an "open" letter to Sean Combs ("Diddy"), the lyrics read "Do you ever wish we never split?/'Cause I've still got love for you."[12] The fourth track of the album, "The One" was built around the Stylistics' song "You Are Everything" (1971).[12] The album's sixth track, a duet "All I Have" which features American rapper LL Cool J is an R&B song which samples Debra Law's 1981 song "Very Special".[12] The songs from the album, in particular the fifth track, "Dear Ben" and the eleventh "Baby I Love U!" detailed her romantic relationship with Affleck.[6] In "Dear Ben", Lopez speaks of how she can't control herself when it comes to her addiction of loving "Ben", a song which professed their love in the media.[14][15] Steve Morse from Boston Globe wrote that "[the] love affair has fired up Hollywood and now pop listeners can now share the vibe. This is one hot album, as [Lopez] sings to lovers everywhere with a soulful passion that will quicken pulses and libidos."[16] "Baby I Love U!" lyrically speaks about Lopez being a hopeless romantic, she sings "What I wanna know is/ Are you willing to try?/ Can you love me for a lifetime/ In just one night?"[17] R. Kelly was featured on the official remix of the track.[17] "Baby I Love U!" utilizes a sample of the "haunting" melody from the theme of Midnight Cowboy.[12] Lopez's cover version of Carly Simon's 1978 song "You Belong to Me" was the ninth track on the album. Several other tracks on the album contained samples. "Loving You", the album's second track contained a sample of Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" (written by James Mtume) and George Benson's "Never Give Up on a Good Thing" (written by Michael Garvin, Tom C. Shapiro). "I'm Glad" features a sample of Schoolly D's 1986 song "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?", and lyrically speaks of being glad in a relationship, despite the cameras.[18]

Promotion

Singles

The album's lead single, Jenny from the Block" (featuring Jadakiss and Styles P) was released and reached the third spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The song "intones her (Lopez) modest childhood roots vowing she wishes to remain simple despite her diamonds."[6] The song received mixed reviews. Allmusic said that "Jenny From the Block is silly and had laughable lyrics" but gave a track pick for the song.[19] Tom Sinclair from Entertainment Weekly was more favorable, saying "On Jenny From the Block, Lopez insists that fame hasn't changed her, and seduced by the breezy pleasure of her new music, we're almost inclined to believe her".[12] Its accommodating music video featured Lopez and her then fiancé, Ben Affleck under the scrutiny of the paparazzi.[20]

The album's second single, "All I Have" (featuring LL Cool J) was released in December 2002 and reached summit of the Billboard Hot 100 after one of the highest chart debuts of her career. "I'm Glad" and "Baby I Love U!" were the final two singles released from the album, peaking at 32 and 72 on the Hot 100 respectively. The video for "I'm Glad" recreated scenes from the 1983 film Flashdance, leading to a lawsuit over copyright infringement, which was later dismissed.[21][22] Lopez's cover version of Carly Simon's 1978 song "You Belong to Me" was released in Brazil, where it appeared on the soundtrack to the telenovela Mulheres Apaixonadas, whereas "The One" was released to radio stations in Europe—charting at number forty-one on the Romanian Top 100 in mid-May 2003[23]—and Brazil.

The music video for "Jenny From The Block" received a nomination for Best Female Video at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards Japan. The music video for "I'm Glad" received four nominations at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, including Best Female Video, Best Dance Video, Best Choreography and Best Art Direction. The song won a Billboard Latin Music Award for Best-Selling Latin Dance Single Of The Year. This Is Me... Then was nominated for "Choice Music Album", while "I'm Glad" and "All I Have" each received nominations for choice Music Single and Love Song of the year at the 2003 Teen Choice Awards.

Debra Laws controversy

In March 2003, Debra Laws sued Epic Records in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, claiming that the use of samples from "Very Special" without her consent (even though the writers of "Very Special" and Elektra Entertainment Group—successor to Elektra/Asylum Records, which had released the original recording of "Very Special"—had given their consent to the use of the samples) violated her statutory and common law right of publicity under California law. In November 2003, Judge Lourdes Baird granted Sony Music's motion for summary judgment on the ground that Laws's state law claims were preempted by Section 301 of the United States Copyright Act. In 2006, that decision was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.[24]

Reception

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number six on the U.S. Billboard 200 selling 314,000 copies during its first week, then propelled to number two two months later[25] remaining in the top twenty for twelve weeks and on the chart for thirty-seven weeks. It has sold 2.5 million copies in the United States[26] and over six million copies worldwide.[27] The album remained in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 for 3 months.[28] By February 2003 (5 months following its initial release) it remained in the Top 10, managing to average around 80,000 copies per week.[29]

The album garnered mixed reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 52, based on 9 reviews, which indicates "mixed or average reviews".[36] Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic gave to the album a rating of 4/5 stars, saying that "The feel is sexy, stylish, and fun, and there are numerous highlights, all feeling effortless".[19]

The Billboard review was also positive, saying that "Even naysayers will have to serve props to Lopez for the considerable growth she reveals as both a performer and tunesmith". Ton Sinclair from Entertainment Weekly say that "While no one's likely to confuse anything here with high art, the girl has a way with hooks, even if they're often borrowed".[37] A mixed review came from Rolling Stone who gave the album a rating of 2/5 stars, saying that "Most of the songs are pitched too high for her register, the production sounds cheap, and love has dulled whatever street edge she might have had".[32]

Jon Caramanica from The Village Voice was negative, saying that "Jennifer Lopez makes albums for the same reasons you and I give holiday gifts to people we don't exactly like: vanity and obligation".[34] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine gave a favorable review, saying that "Rather than rehash her previous hip-hop successes with Murder Inc., Jennifer Lopez makes a surprising step toward more adult-oriented R&B on her third studio album". He conclued saying that "This Is Me…Then manages to find the right formula for Lopez's slinky vocal and is more unified than its predecessors".[33]

James Poletti from Yahoo! Music gave also a positive review and a rating of 7/10 stars, saying that: "Lopez' voice frequently sounds a trifle thin accompanied by the sort of sounds that we're better used to hearing behind a Creative Source or Gwen McCrae vocal but the honeyed backing massages any real concerns from your mind. It remains to be seen what her present blissed-out state might do for J-Lo's on-set antics but here it has helped add more than a glimmer of humanity to this Latino Corporation".[35]

Reissue

In Europe and other non North American Countries, the album was issued with "I'm Gonna Be Alright (Trackmasters Remix featuring Nas)" as track 13.[38] A Limited Edition of the album was also issued (as This Is Me...Then: +9 Bonus Tracks!) with 8 more tracks (in addition to the original 12), 7 of the bonus tracks being remixes that originally appeared on J to tha L-O! The Remixes, released earlier that year. In addition to the 7 reissued remixes, a special "Radio Remix" of "Play" was also added as track 20.[39][40]
