Brave by Jennifer Lopez (2007)
Much like Rebirth, Brave was not a weak album. However, similar to its predecessor, the album's single selections and overall promotion left both the general public and her fans disappointed. I never stood by the last-minute decision to swap "Hold it Don't Drop It" for "Do It Well" as the lead. Plus, Lopez's eventual pregnancy caused all promotion to cease.
Additionally, the use of "Miles in These Shoes" for Desperate Housewives really was a missed opportunity to capitalise on it as a single from the project. However, there were steps I could have taken to guarantee the album maintained a strong release and some longevity, and then Lopez could still have taken her break ahead of the Love? project.
This is accomplished considering that Como Ama una Mujer had been released in 2006 as it was first intended, allowing most of 2007 for the promotion of Brave, which would have been released in May in this timeline.
