Online only: Jennifer Lopez Brave Grade: B-

It used to be that when it came to Jennifer Lopez, I was like Wooderson from "Dazed and Confused": I kept getting older, but J. Lo, like those high school girls, man, stayed the same age.\nNo longer.\nLopez, now 38, starts to show her years on Brave, mixing lyrics about leaving the club and settling down with dated production styles to create an album that should make the over-35 crowd go nuts.\nThat's not to say Brave doesn't offer some bounce. J. Lo certainly delivers on her promise to create a more "danceable" album than the Spanish-language disc Como Ama una Mujer, released earlier this year. "Stay Together," "Hold It Don't Drop It" and the Jackson 5-influenced "Gotta Be There" should keep you on your feet -- even if it's at a wedding reception and not la discoteca.\nDespite a remix featuring a Spanglish verse from Ludacris that should set back U.S.-Puerto Rican relations about 50 years ("Me gustan hermosas señoritas / I love how you shake your distinctive features"), "Do It Well" is the album's highlight, but it still pales in comparison to past collaborations like the Fabolous cameo "Get Right."\nThe rest of Brave features slow jams that are just as catchy and feel-good as the fast ones and, like the album's other tracks, feature beats that sound like they belong in the '90s with lyrics that are almost too cheesy to be true.\nBetween her mass-market, PG-13 pop hits and her curvaceous bod, J. Lo has never been that edgy, but this is a departure, even for her. While Jennifer Lopez the entertainer boasts more star power than ever, Brave shows that J. Lo the bodacious R&B diva is growing up and\nsettling down.
