Track listing


Random Info

"Recently a demo came in for Jennifer Lopez that had potential but needed to be tweaked, like make the track hit harder, tease the hook up front and edit some of the chorus so it wasn't as repetitive. It was the last song that came in that she recorded, and is now cut #2 on the album."
Epic A&R Manager Brandon Creed talking about Forever in an interview with Remix Magazine 11-2007.

"We actually recorded 10 songs with Jennifer over the past 2 years, and she chose the 5 from those. "
Lynn & Wade about the umber of tracks they recorded with Jennifer in Beyond Beautiful's exclusive interview. (full interview)

Peter Wade: "My favorite is "Never Gonna Give Up." It was the first Lynn & Wade song she recorded, and I think it embodies her desire to innovate musically. I was kind of depressed when I made the track, and when I played it for Michelle she wrote the most amazing melody -- sad but uplifting, and the lyrics are incredible. It was a real moment."
Michelle Bell: "When Jennifer heard it, she nearly cried. She learned the song on the spot and sang her heart out."
Peter Wade: "... And I think you can hear that on the record... I wanted to produce it like "Elenore Rigby," just Jennifer and a string quartet. Julio Reyes, who I met at Jennifer's place, arranged the quartet. The mixture of organic strings and big RnB drums is a really modern way to use a classic sound. The song is particularly special because Michelle and I went down to Orlando to mix it with the legendary Engineer Bruce Swedien."

james you got it the wrong way round

Brave was 17 in the UK albums charts selling 24,000 copies (lol shocking i know)
Do it well went to number 11 in the UK going onto sell 32,000 copies

But i learned e=mc2 only sold 30,000 copies in the uk so thats not much diff from brave

and janets damit jo album sold 5,000 copies lol and her last 2 albums sold around 6,000/7,000 copies lol braves like a blockbuster compared to them

mines grey too.

I really love this album!! It's one of my favourites. Wish Brave was released as a single.

hahahahaha... i LOVE it! if only the haters knew these numbers from mariah and janet, it would give them some perspective

  

Me too! I love that song so much and the album is great
