    I must say, Jennifer Lopez hit this one out the park. This is an excellent dance album full of very catchy tunes. Easily her best album in her career. Every song seems ready for radio play. Even the skeptics should be impressed.

    The only thing that's brave are people who walk into their local entertainment store with purchasing this dreck in mind. And then actually doing it!

    Best work to date, by far. Great sounding voice and production on each and every track. The album is not desperate in trying to sound like everyone else, while maintaining a contemporary fill with the right mix of producers. Jennifer Lopez is still being true to herself and expressing herself through pleasant and intriguing music.

    She does have an average voice but you get the feeling with this album that's she's taken her time. Previous albums seem to have had one strong track then a tonne of filler. This one seems to be more personal and considered and has some strong tracks on it - definitely worth bonus points for effort - maybe it's the Marc Anthony 'fluence......

    Her best english studio album to date in her music career. She did show off her vocals more on her spanish debut. But, this is dance pop music and she does it well. Job very well done Jlo.

    The album is full of poorly written mediocre, but catchy tunes. Jennifer is not the best singer but shes alright.

    I wish I could even categorize this as a 'guilty pleasure' but I can't. Just a very weak effort.

    I think it's a good record, she should go in another direction but it's ok. The best tracks: "Hold ir don't drop it", "Do it well", "Mile in these shoes", "Wrong when you're gone", "Brave" "Forever" and "Stay together". It's better than her previous two english albums.

    This album's hot ! Jennifer proves on Brave that she can sing and there is no doubt of her talent on the music business. The great vocal and the smart beats make this an deserving chart-topping album, with many possible hits in it. The open-track, Stay Together, is a catchy-dance song that talks about how staying together is on trend now, at least for Jennifer. Forever, a great R&B track that reminds Beyoncé's hit Baby Boy. The hit single Do It Well, one of the best tracks of the album, is already killing the charts around the world with the dance vibe that only J. Lo knows how to handle and it's clear too on the Michael Jackson's Gotta Be Where You Are sample track, Gotta Be There. Breaking down a little bit, Mile In These Shoes is a strong pop track with a hot and mysterious beat, which is on Desperate Housewives new promo. Be Mine and I Need Love bring a sexy and smooth vibe, reminding J. Lo's Rebirth Era. Closing the album, Wrong When You're Gone, a R&B ballad that shows Jennifer's romantic side of the album, along with Never Gonna Give Up, her best vocal performance on the album. And, finally, my favorite track on the entire album, the album-title Brave closes the album in the best way: a sexy, catchy and addicted track that is a sure top 10 single that will bubble on the charts, proving that J. Lo's back and doing very, very well. Expand

    i must say that I was a little dissapointed in "Brave'. Donm't get me wrong I love J.Lo but I feel this album lacked what her other albums had.......Hot beats and Hot lyrics. The album is good but the onbly call out was "Do It Well"

    Esse álbum não me surpreendeu não. Eu pensava que ia ser um pouco melhor. Mas mesmo assim, Jennifer é linda! Gostei do novo CD dela Love? bem mais legal que esse.

  1. It's nothing more than modest music for mellow good times, but it's lively enough to be fleeting fun, with enough good tunes for a mild party, preferably one that's held at home.
  2. The album is another market-smart collection of radio fodder, rather than Lopez's artistic breakout. That said, no one does classy pop quite like she does.
  3. Expensive beats and uplifting material are offset by listless vocals.
