5.17.13 - New Music - Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull

Jennifer Lopez isn’t exactly trying new things here, but then again, who says she should?

After finding success again with “On The Floor” thanks to RedOne (and a little bit perhaps to Pitbull), the singer/actress/dancer/designer/Latina badass isn’t taking any chances at falling into a slump again. She has enlisted both of her former colleagues to put her back at the top of the charts.

“Live It Up” plays exactly as one would expect: thumping beats, clubby lyrics and Pitbull being fucking obnoxious. Jlo is replaceable and Pitbull is abominable, but RedOne delivers yet again. It might not be his best work, but the drop that follows a few spoken words in silence is one that, were it better placed in the pop radio landscape, could have rocked us all summer long.
