Album history
A mix of contemporary pop and dance tracks and soul covers, Brave became a major success on the Australian albums chart, firmly establishing Ceberano as one of Australia's premier artists, and would become the most commercially successful album of her solo career.
Brave also established Ceberano's role as a chameleon of sorts, following on from successful jazz and adult-oriented releases, Brave also seemed to, in part, pay homage to her dance roots as a vocalist in Australian band I'm Talking.
The album spawned a succession of four Top 40 singles; "Bedroom Eyes", "Love Dimension", "Brave"/"Young Boys Are My Weakness" and "That's What I Call Love", all of which achieved strong rotation on Australian radio and helped propel the album to triple platinum status.
Brave went on to become the fifth highest selling album of 1989 by a local artist on the ARIA Albums Chart. It reached a peak of number 2 on the Australian albums chart.
Overall sales placed it as the 20th highest selling album of 1989.
