    It's not the best album of their career. But if you look at it these days, there's so much bad stuff being sold as music, that A.K.A borders on a masterpiece.

    An unfairly review bombed album that deserves some praise for showcasing JLo's versatility as an artist. The only flaw is the sequencing because nearly ever song is single worthy between the ballads the pop gems and the hip-hop/dance inspired moments.

    There's nothing I can say that can translate how good this album is. Just listen to it. Give it a chance. My favorites are Never Satisfied, Let It Be Me, I Luh Ya Papi, Booty, A.K.A. and Expertease.

The problem with JLO's music and music in general is the fact that people let the actions of the musician influence their opinion greatly. Music is music and although the person making it aims to define herself/himself in a particular way, you shouldn't let that get in the way of how you perceive and enjoy the music. JLO has created something fun and immensely entertaining, and that's what music should be about. This is an epic album.… Expand

    After the EDM experience with "LOVE?" album, Jennifer Lopez returns to her urban roots on "A.K.A.". Differently of her previous studio work, "A.K.A." presents a mature Lopez in a sophisticated and modern sound. Despite songs as "Emotions" and "Never Satisfed", that would fit better in a deluxe edition of the album, "A.K.A." has all the necessary elements to please her fans and public.

Despite songs as "Emotions" and "Never Satisfed", that would fit better in a deluxe edition of the album, "A.K.A." has all the necessary elements to please her fans and public. The titled track opens the record in a infectious beat while Lopez sings followed by T.I.s verse, showing a Jenny from the Block who fans and people wanted back. The record also represents great and well produced R&B jams as"Acting Like That" and "Worry no More", along with summer-ish pop pleasures as "So Good" and "Expertease". The highlighs are due to "Let It Be Me", a kind of spanish guitar and latin influenced ballad with a beautiful melodie and vocals never explored before from Lopez; "Troubeaux", a track which reminds the great hip hop classics from 90s full of quality and a great old sample behind it; and "TENS", where a totally difrferent J-Lo offers a gay-oriented club banger and promising dance hit. On her 10th album, Lopez definitely joins a bit of all her past works, in a surprising pleasant music journey.… Expand

    This album is the most pleasant musical surprise i had all year!
    Lopez after serving dance anthems like "On the floor" and "Dance again" returns with an album that dares to risk but also keep every element that made JLo successful in the first place! First of all it's an All-Stars effort and it shows!

First of all it's an All-Stars effort and it shows! With producers like Detail, DJMustard, Max martin, Roccstar, Diplo, Harmony etc and featuring artists like T.I. , Iggy Azalea, Rick Ross, Nas and Ptibull the album just "screams" quality! Even Sia penned the excellent "Expertease"! It is a mix of RnB / Hip Hop and Pop elements but very cohesive as a whole and with great flow.
    The opening track is "A.K.A." where she declares how she can be many things and she closes the album (the deluxe version) with "Same Girl" in which she says that despite all this she is still the same girl. It just comes full circle in a way and it shows. From hard RnB tracks like "Worry no more" and "Acting like that" to pop masterpieces like "First Love" and "Expertease" and from timeless ballads like "Let it be me" and "Never Satisfied" to uptempo bangers like "Booty" and "Tens" Lopez shows real artistic growth and will for experimenting!
    Personal highlights:
    - Booty (a monster urban club banger!)
    - Let it be me (a gorgeous stripped down ballad)
    - First love (a Max Martin pop masterpiece)
    - Acting like that (the hardcore Iggy duet)
    - So good (the best feel good production i've heard in a while)    … Expand

    ΑΚΑ: Flawless production. It's one of these songs that you really want to play it again and again. I find T.I.'s verse a little bit boring!

Sick production and the idea for Iggy involving was really brilliant! Emotions: I think it's one of the best song of this album. Maybe her vocals sound too weak but I'm in love with the melody of the song. I closed my eyes when it started. The bridge is just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! So Good: And, yas! Jenny from the block is here. I feel like J.Lo of "This Is Me... Then" is back! It's SO GOOD! Let It Be Me: "Brave", "Como Ama una Mujer" and "Rebirth" to a song. It would be easily one J.Lo classic song. I'm really slayed with the lyrics! Oh, my... this song is incredible! Her vocals >>> Worry No More: Perfect production. No need to say anything else. I just wanted a great bridge to be perfect! Booty: One of the catchiest songs from throughout her career. It can be her next "On the Floor". Tens: Work, **** Slayage. Icon. Pure perfection. AMAZING, SICK SONG! Troubeaux: It gives me "Problem" teas and some sound of 80's/90's! The lyrics of Nas' part are just out of this world. haha Expertease: I love Sia's work for this song! For some reason I find this GREAT. Same Girl: Wait, they really butchered this. French's part needed a new production. Plus his backing vocals are too annoying. It sounded great at concerts.

    JLo is reinventing herself constantly and when you think she's not in a place to push herself further she releases this amazing album. She has finally stepped out her comfort zone of bubble gum pop songs. Songs like Booty or Worry No More or Acting Like That just show off what she can do that you didn't know you were even expecting. Highly recommended.

    I have to say J.LO really surprised me with this album. It has A good beat and it is very well Produced. The vocals may be not the best but still a great album. I am very disappointed that this album did not do well with the charts or sales. I recommend people to listen to this album especially if they like Pop/R&B Songs
    My score:
    1. A.K.A. 8/10 2.First Love 9/10 3. Never Satisfied    I have to say J.LO really surprised me with this album. It has A good beat and it is very well Produced.

    This album in my library since its release. And now I listen to this album again and I had the feeling that half of the songs I did not know until I heard the chorus of the song. It is a shock.
    But there are some songs on AKA I just love: Emotions, A.K.A., Booty, Tens, Acting Like That.
    The whole album in colors that I love.

    A widely inspirational album that contains pop and R&B beats and very personal lyrics, feels like J.Lo is going back to basics and God I can't believe this is her 10th album she is such a legend

    This album is so beautiful, any piece brings very majestic rhythms, just the best of JLO, First Love ends with the whole career of Shakira.

    Não é dos melhores, mas tem singles bons e Booty é a melhor e Let It Be Me merecia vídeo

    Icônico. First love é a melhor música do álbum. Lendária. Amo muito um talento puro. Diva.

    Increíble todas las canciones, Ready Set Go podría haber sido un buen single, es una lástima que el álbum no haya tenido el reconocimiento que se merece.

    To me this album has so many different genre, but most of the tracks on this album is catchy and wonderful like the ballad song on this album “Let It Be Me” the most beautiful track on this album and “Emotion” other tracks is pop you can vibe to it, this album of her is so underrated and unappreciated I don’t understand why.

    A poor album due to poor production and song writing, poor sales and poor vocal delivery.

    Much of A.K.A. is still mawkish, midtempo melodrama that does too much to accentuate J. Lo's tunelessness.

    A.K.A. finds J.Lo throwing anything she can at the wall to see what sticks.
