BRAVE

Brave is the sixth studio album by American singer and actress Jennifer Lopez. It was released on October 4, 2007, by Epic Records. Inspired by her marriage with Marc Anthony and taking influences by Jamiroquai and Sade, "Brave" features prominently samples from old classics, mixing up with funk and R&B music. Brave sees Lopez working with new collaborators, such as Ryan Tedder, Midi Mafia, Jonathan Rotem, Bloodshy, Lynn & Wade LLP, The Clutch and others, while also working with long-time collaborator Cory Rooney throughout the album. The album received a mixed reception from critics, with some complimenting its production, calling the album one of her strongest albums to date, while many called it a formulaic and bland album. The album underperformed commercially, becoming her first album to miss the top-ten on the Billboard 200 chart, while also missing the top-twenty in the UK, Australia, and other markets. It has sold only 650,000 copies worldwide. -WIKIPEDIA

    Brave has two obsessions: love and cheesy strings.

    her stab at making pure feel-good music.

  • The Guardian

    The sound harks back to the genre's golden age at the turn of the century: chunky bass lines, disco strings and purring beats dominate, and the brassy melodies are engineered for maximum dancefloor impact.

    Expensive beats and uplifting material are offset by listless vocals.

    just another disposable pop record with no redeeming value.

  • ALL MUSIC

    it's lively enough to be fleeting fun, with enough good tunes for a mild party, preferably one that's held at home.

    Innocent pop musings on love hit the dance floor.

  • Variety

    has few signs of inventiveness, a problem, one suspects, when song after song is assembled by committees of writers and producers.

    Brave is full of relentlessly catchy tracks which are so good, even an ego as large as J-Lo’s couldn’t mess them up.

    Brave isn't a terrible album, but it's spectacularly unspecial.

    Even if you've discounted her in the past, give her another chance with this album. Be brave enough to buy it.

    `Brave' not so daring.

  • The San Diego Union Tribune

    Lopez's voice has never sounded so weak and marginal as on this record.
