LeAnn Rimes has dropped her 12th studio album and Jennifer Lopez has launched her fifth English album. We're taking a look at the latest releases from these music industry veterans!

Jennifer Lopez - Brave

J. Lo has returned to her dance music roots with this light, upbeat record. It's a comfortable, unsurprising album that is full of hooks, but not too many twists and turns. The production is impressive, but the album doesn't have a particularly current sound and Jen's vocals are as weak as her "I'm not pregnant" routine. You may want to dance to a few tracks when they hit the radio, but put your piggy bank down - this isn't an album worth shelling out for.

Family is LeAnn Rimes's 12th studio album.

LeAnn Rimes - Family

She may only be 25, but LeAnne Rimes is already an industry veteran. Her latest album harkens back to her crossover past, which blended country crooning with top 40 pizzazz. The album is both slick and intimate, and shows off LeAnn's impressive vocal range. If your music tastes lean more towards "a little bit country" than the do towards "a little bit rock and roll" this is an album worth checking out.
