Artistry
• Musical style
Over the course of her music career, Lopez has delved into various music genres including latin pop, dance, R&B, hip hop, rock, funk, house and salsa. According to author Ed Morales, her music explores both the "romantic innocence of Latin music" and hip hop. While heavily influenced by Latin musical styles ranging from salsa to bachata, it was the 1979 hip hop song "Rapper's Delight" by hip hop trio The Sugarhill Gang that inspired her career. As she forayed into the music industry, Lopez fused Latin music together with the hip hop sound she loved, which she branded Latin soul.
