Happy 50th Bday J.Lo!

One of my favourite singers Jennifer Lopez just turned 50. It was her birthday on Wednesday (24th July). She celebrated with a big party in Miami. Read about it here: https://people.com/music/jennifer-lopez-50th-birthday-miami-bash/

Jennifer started her career as a Fly Girl dancer on the American TV series In Living Color in the early 90s. She moved into films and her breakout role was in the 1997 movie Selena, in which she starred as real life Mexican American singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez who was tragically shot and killed in 1995. Her other films since include Anaconda (1997), U Turn (also 1997), Out of Sight (1998), The Wedding Planner (2001), The Back-up Plan (2010),  2015's The Boy Next Door, Second Act (2018) and the upcoming Hustlers. 

She's also returned to TV starring in the crime drama TV series Shades of Blue, and executive producing the reality show World of Dance, on which she also appeared as a co-judge.

In May 1999 Jennifer launched her music career with the single If You Had My Love, followed by her debut album On The 6 in June. I remember when If You Had My Love first came out. (Seems mad that was 20 years ago!). I was 15 at the time and I actually bought the single in Paris. I was on holiday there and went to Virgin Megastores (remember them?)! I then got On The 6 when it came out. I still have the original CD!

Since then she's released 63 singles, including If You Had My Love, Waiting for Tonight, Love Don't Cost a Thing, I'm Real, I'm Into You, On the Floor, First Love, Ain't Your Mama and Medicine. And she's brought out 7 studio albums to date- On the 6, J.Lo (2001), This is Me... Then (2002), Rebirth (2005), the Spanish language Coma Ama Mujer ("How a Woman Loves" in English) in 2007, Brave (also 2007), Love? (2011) and AKA (2014).

She also has two remix albums,  2002's J to tha Lo: The Remixes (I have this; my fave remix on there is Ain't It Funny Murder Remix feat. Ja Rule and Cadillac Tah) and Dance Again... The Hits (2012); as well as an EP The Reel Me, released in 2003.

My favourite album is still On the 6 and second to that would be J.Lo. My fave singles are If You Had My Love, I'm Real remix and I'm Into You, although I like lots of others.

J.Lo is currently on her It's My Party tour (named in honour of her birthday) which started in June and finishes tomorrow.

So to celebrate her birthday, here is a round-up of posts. :)

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences.  The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
