Even when she attempted to rep the block, Jennifer Lopez’s music career has been about as edgy as her famous booty. Auto-Tune and star power have buoyed her since 1999’s On the 6, but now J. Lo has turned away from the slick, minimalist future funk currently ruling the pop zeitgeist for chintzy production that screams 1990. Brave has two obsessions: love and cheesy strings. Dollops of orchestration are plopped onto all but two of twelve tracks, from the Latin freestyle-esque opener, “Stay Together” (“Heartbreaks are overrated, stay together, that’s the new trend,” insists the twice-divorced Lopez), to stubbornly undanceable midtempo duds like the synth-overloaded “The Way It Is” and “I Need Love,” on which Lopez convinces herself it’s time to quit partying and settle down. But the club, not love, is her salvation, as she proves on “Do It Well,” the only track that lets J. Lo do her thing: dance.

I actually just heard the whole CD on MTV where it leaked and I must say that it is actually refreshing and cool. I didn't know what to expect from her because her last cd Rebirth was full of midtempo songs that just had nothing to do with her. This time you can really see how much her voice has improved and the beats are actually note worthy. I don't know how the public will receive it but I actually enjoyed it.
