Hold You Down By Jennifer Lopez

The fourth studio music album, fifth overall, ‘Rebirth’, by American singer Jennifer Lopez was released in 2005 by Epic Records. The album's title song, Call Me Jennifer, was Lopez’s response to the “J-Lo” tag that she claims gave her an unfair diva reputation that she doesn’t seem to enjoy any longer. The title eventually chosen is seen as an attempt to start a new beginning after the "Bennifer" fall-out and the immense critical and commercial box-office blunder of the 2003 film ‘Gigli’. The music itself is standard Lopez sound, '80s-tinged urban pop and funk combined with orchestral ballads.

Her new husband, Marc Anthony has co-written the lyrics and co-produced one of the album's tracks, "(Can't Believe) This Is Me". "Hold You Down" is the second and final song single from Rebirth. Released in 2005, this song single which features rapper Fat Joe scored number sixty-four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number six in the UK. Although the song didn't achieve the same success euphoria as "Get Right", it was a modest success in some parts of the world. The song was produced mainly by Cory Rooney, who shares work relation with Lopez in the past. However, many say "Hold you Down’s” choice as a single caused Rebirth's average sales.

At the Concert

Marc’s charisma never fails at venues, making wife Jennifer absolutely jive. Yet, with motherhood pending and more acting jobs sure to follow, I suspect her concerts will become rare treats for rabid devotees. (She and hubby, Marc would perform again occasionally though.) You could sense from her infectious laughter between songs here that she's as surprised as anyone to be headlining arenas night after night. Ever-driven, and executing this show with typical resolve, she nonetheless still seemed to enjoy this as if it were a lark.

The music video for the song was directed by Diane Martel and was shot in March 2005 in the Bronx, New York City where Lopez has spent her growing up days. Lopez is shot singing on top of a building and in a hallway, while Fat Joe roams on the streets. The video peaked at number five on MTV's Total Request Live. Also there is an "Eliel Remix" featuring Don Omar, which did well on reggaeton and hip-hop radio stations. Fat Joe's sixth studio album All or Nothing also featured the same song.

The following chart information highlights the moderate reception of the album: UK Singles Chart 6, U.S. Billboard Hot 100 64, U.S. Billboard Pop 100 38 However, though Lopez is not a really appealing singer Rebirth, with songs like ‘Hold you Down’, has more energy and better punches than her other albums. It may not be introspective, but surely it’s fun and after the tumult of 2003 and 2004, Lopez surely does deserve some bit of fun. So hey Lopez fans… what are you waiting for? Go ahead and download the song on your MP3 s and have some fun time listening to this husky voiced American singer.
