Miami - Prior to starting a promotion for her first Spanish-language album, Como Ama Una Mujer, out in April, Jennifer Lopez spoke from her Los Angeles home about her burgeoning Latin creative side.
Because I love the music. I love the drama. It must be the actress in me.
I love the deep, intense passionate way of expressing yourself in those kinds of songs.
I think so.
I think this is the side of me that people don't know, and it is really a big part of who I am.
I had to really, really express to them the kind of album I wanted to make.
But it started to come very naturally to the writers when they got to know me.
It wasn't supposed to be a duet at all.
It was the very first song we recorded, and there was a background male voice, and Marc did the back-ups. I asked to put his voice up, because I think the harmony parts blended so beautifully.
. We see the best of each other and we're able to reach higher levels. It's the best way I can describe it.
I've matured as a singer. Marc gave me confidence in the studio as well.
When someone believes in you so much, you don't want to let them down.
And it's also the material. I think this material lent itself to my voice.
And it actually made me approach my new English album in a different way.
I would never mess with the integrity of this album.
This album is what it is.
What is the story behind that?
We were almost over with the album, and we said, "Let's make believe we don't have any songs, and let's do three or four more." And one of the first songs we came up with was Tu.
It was an emotion I had about wanting to sing that to a child one day; to my own child.
