Love? (The Epic Sessions)

A collection of material recorded by singer Jennifer Lopez during her recording sessions with Epic Records.

Over half of the “Love?” album had already leaked in demo form from 2008-2009 before the release of the final album with Island Records in 2011. The only new tracks were the ones Lopez had recorded with producer RedOne which were all placed on the album after the massive success of the lead single “On The Floor”.

Lopez first expressed disdain with her label boss Amanda Ghost when talking about the initial single to launch her new album era, “Fresh Out The Oven”. Speaking to Scottish Newspaper The Daily Record she explained “The head of my record company, Amanda, really loved this record. She said, ‘This record is for Jennifer Lopez. We’ve got to get this record to Jennifer Lopez.’ She let me hear it and I said, ‘You know what? I love the record, but it doesn’t fit in with the album I’m making.’ And she said, ‘I don’t care. You just have to record this record. I don’t care if you put another name on it.’ Lopez released the record under a different artist name: Lola.

After the commercial failure of the lead single, Lopez then released the track “Louboutins” which again failed to chart, ultimately leading her to leave Epic Records and sign to Island.
