A Jennifer Lopez By Any Other Name Is Still JLo

Consider this the J. Lo version of Prince changing his name to a symbol. According to sources at Epic, her label, Jennifer Lopez has a new name, Lola.

It's a kind of, sort of, Jennifer Lopez new name, as it seems to be some sort of promotional teaser. A new single, credited to an artist named "Lola," appeared on the web recently.

Aside from the fact that the singer sounds a lot like J. Lo, there's the aforementioned admission by Epic. The song is titled "Fresh out the Oven." It's hard to hide that it's Jennifer Lopez, new name or no.

There's even a website, and Twitter account as well, asking "Who is Lola." Could we also ask, why this Jennifer Lopez new name gimmick?

It could be because her last album wasn't exactly a smash hit. In fact, 2007's "Brave," bombed. Then again, that was before Jennifer Lopez got a new name.

In all seriousness, the Jennifer Lopez new name gimmick is just that: a gimmick. Go to the above-linked site and you are teased with taglines like "Lola reinvented sexy," "Lola left me wanting."

Truly, this Jennifer Lopez new name stunt leaves us wanting, all right. It leaves us wanting it to be over. Watch the new single.
