New J.Lo single ahoy!

Published Monday, Nov 23 2009, 16:10 GMT | By Nick Levine | 5 comments
Yesterday's AMAs wasn't all about Taylor Bloody Swift, you know. Jennifer Lopez used the LA gongathon to launch her new single 'Louboutins' with a performance that wasn't exactly lacking in chutzpah. Put it this way - she strutted onstage, dressed as a very sexy boxer, to the strains of a rapper hollering: "THE CHAMP IS HERE!"

And the track itself? Well, it's a Tricky and The-Dream-produced club banger with a chorus that succeeds through sheer attrition, a proper Janet-style dance break and a Sod-This-I'm-Off message - the outro goes: "Boy, watch me walk it out, walk it out..."

Truth be told, it's not a J.Lo classic to rival 'Play' or 'Love Don't Cost A Thing', and it's about as original as starting your day with a bowl of Kellogg's Cornflakes, but it does burrow into your brain after a few spins and it's a definite step up from 'Fresh Out The Oven', the Pitbull-assisted buzz track that popped up last month.

Man, this song is so freakin' hot! One more time, J.Lo proves that she knows what she's doing, and does what she does best: great urban pop songs. This is so catchy and makes you don't wanna stop listenin' to it. It's definetely a #1 potentional! Hope critics give Jennifer Lopez a credit this time... she deserves it.

WOW! I didn't like this either when hearing it for the first time, but i grew on me so quickly. It is total J Lo. I would urge anyone to watch the AMA's performance. It is sensational. The entry and exit on to and off stage was supreme.

I love it, it's awesome. I thought she was just repeating the same thing over and over, but it starts growing on you very quickly and now I can't stop. This will be a top 20 hit.
