Branching out into music was most certainly a risk for Lopez, but her commitment to her music led ‘On the 6’ to connect with audiences and level any barrier she might have encountered.

Upon its release 20 years ago, Lopez’s third studio album was irrefutable proof of a newly minted creative thought process in her musical work ethic.

Emblematic of Lopez making the most innovative music of her career in the mid to late 2000s, her sixth studio LP is solid, with no filler to be found.

Lopez’s fifth studio affair is an engaging stratum of traditional-to-contemporary Latin pop aesthetics bedrocked in romantic melancholia.
