Sep 25, 2020Christina Aguilera
-
Feb 28, 2023BORING.
Here's what I think. Christina was so worried with being compared to big music legends that she ended up releasing music for the critics, rather than for her pop fans. The problem is that not even the critics liked it. -
Mar 20, 2021any popstar could do an album like this one at 25, this record proves the talent Miss Aguilera possess and her soaring voice is everything, it should've won the aoty

Oct 23, 2021I honestly don't know in which state a human being has to be to not find atleast one song from this album great. This album is not "over-done" it's simply out of this world

Nov 11, 2021Una obra maestra, un viaje en el tiempo, la voz de Christina se adapta muy bien a este género musical. Uno de mis discos favoritos de todos los tiempos. Mis fav son slow down baby, hurt, mercy on me.

May 22, 2022Aguilera at its FINEST FINESSE. This album is like everything check: production ✅ vocals ✅ lyrics ✅ emotiveness ✅ visuals ✅ vibe ✅ . The production on disc 1 is exceptionally unbelievable. It's unbeliavable how she can build an entirely new & fresh-sounding songs on obscure beats.

Mar 13, 2022Este álbum es otra de las joyas de Xtina! Demostrando su versatilidad musical, pasando de su imagen rebelde en Stripped a su lado más elegante en B2B! ✨
-
Mar 18, 2022An album that combines perfectly retro sounds with contemporary ones like Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black".
-
Jun 21, 2022In my opinion this is the greatest album a female pop star ever made. Only Aguilera could produce such a fine balance between old scoold and modern pop with powerhouse vocals, emotion and narrative singing. This album and era is just genious at every aspect
-
Apr 27, 2023all the songs on the album follow the vintage theme (which is very difficult to do) the vocals are exceptional and there are some songs with very strong lyrics and about the artist's past like "oh mother", hurt is also a beautiful ballad, can not be about the artist but it continues to bring a very strong message
-
Jul 28, 2023Amé como Xtina usó sonidos de los 40' (no recuerdo bien de qué tiempos) y mezclarlos con sonidos de esa época, tiene letras bastante buenas en cuanto a cada canción, la producción también fue bastante buena.
Awards & Rankings

Beyond the retro instrumentation, however, it's unclear what Aguilera has really learned from her idols.
-
Aguilera doesn't have the gravitas of her heroes, and her forays into bluesy torch singing and '40s-style swing are stiff and mannered. But she needn't genuflect before the past -- she can make her own glorious kind of 21st-century noise.
-
This rather bloated record should be regarded as a disappointment - an interesting one, but a disappointment none the less.
