Search - Jennifer Lopez :: I'm Glad

One of Jennifer's underrated singles

"I will state that personal bias, colors this review. This was the song that defined the relationship I am in right now. I liked this song & video so much when seeing it re-air during Jennifer Lopez's "Rebirth" special on MTV-2 in early 2005, I bought all of her records.



From a musical standpoint, this is one of Jennifer's more, subdued cuts. Which is why I like it. She went for a Schooly D sample of "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?" which gives it a gentle, yet urban undertone. There are harp flourishes throughout the song, as well as subdued strings.



Jennifer, as with many of the cuts from the "This Is Me...Then" record, gives a rather surprisingly spirited lyric & vocal delivery. This is what makes the track so engaging, she sounds engaged herself. A celebration of a person that has entered another's life & just brought joy. It isn't overly what one would call "brilliant" or "original", but it is delivered in a gorgeous mid-tempo number that functions as both ballad & dance cut.



Despite what became of her highly publicized relationship with Ben Affleck, it clearly gave her a sense of heart during this period. I recommend this song for anyone who is in a relationship & needs something to identify with. For music fans, if you want something nice to chill to, I recommend. One of Jennifer's more overlooked, but better singles.



If you liked another subtle single like "Alive" or "Baby, I Love You"...then you will like this. Also, great video...she did the "Flashdance" film justice."

"This is the US cd single for the latest track off of Jennifer's new cd. This is one of a few cd singles now being released by Sony in the US to help kick start the market back up. This single is "I'm Glad" and comes in 2 versions the original album mix(3:42) which is good and the stunning Paul Oakenfold Perfecto Remix(5:46) which hit number 4 for 2 weeks on the Billboard club play charts. This mix is featured on a more expensive import cd so for this price you can't go wrong. The track only got as far as 32 but is still one of her best."
