    Predictably packed with hip-hoppy dance numbers and chiming ballads that don't dare push her vocal range, J.Lo vibelessly goes through a series of songs about love, fidelity and how real she is.

    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.

Even tracks that are not singles are very well produced. This is one of the most careful jobs of the career. The influences of hip hop, soul, and R&B are very well used throughout the 12 tracks. The cover of "You belong To me" is one of the most pleasant surprises of This is Me ... Then.
