    It is so amazing how she is able to be this versatile artist that she is and bring in each album, a different sonority with a different Christina.
    Liberation has quality, has soul, has talent.
    The combination of the tracks Liberation, Searching For Maria e Maria are, definitely, the heart of the album and one of the bests moments in her career.
    No doubt, it's the best female album of 2018!

    The best album ever released this year, Christina shows us her flawless singing in various musical rhythms, R & B, Soul, Hip-Hop and Pop. She deserves all the good. She is amazing!! Maria, Fall in Line, Masochist e Deserves the best of the whole album.

    Only Christina Aguilera has the balls to make an album like this. She explores, she experiments, she DELIVERS. Her voice is at her best, and the sound is sick. 'Deserve' has to be a single, THE best song of the year.

    Liberation is a beautifully done, cohesive album. She plays with many different textures/tones of her voice which i loved. lyrically it was both deep/introspective as well as flirty/fun. I LOVE this album. There are not many albums I can listen to from beginning to end without any skips and truly enjoy the journey and story being told. It's everything you'd want from a Christina Aguilera album.

    Acompanho a Christina desde o seu grande álbum Stripped, que assim como a mim, ajudou a muitas outras pessoas a superarem as dificuldades e não abaixarem a cabeça, após tantos trabalhos que nos dá orgulho de escutar e compartilhar, ela veio com Liberation algo totalmente diferente do que esperávamos e simplesmente surpreendente. Um álbum maravilhoso e inspirador

    Christina Aguilera has one of the greatest voices of all time. Her ability to improvise and interpret her music is nearly unparalleled. Her voice transcends. She constantly amazes me. Her lives performances are breath-taking; often times, they surpass her studio recordings. Most pop artists cannot do that. Her range, her execution, her performance, everything is sublime.

    With "Liberation", Christina proves that she's still one of the few singers out there capable to successfully reinvent theirselves after decades in the music business. With this album, Xtina truly liberates herself with meaningful lyrics and new sounds like in her track Deserve, where she releases a ballad with modern sounds and staggering vocals.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Christina Aguilera has done it again. With "Liberation," she has reminded the public of why she is such a superstar. Her iconic voice and artistry come full-circle with this sixth release, marking her 20th year in the industry. Such longevity is hard to come by, but Christina's raw talent and musical reinventions have kept it going. And now, with "Liberation," undoubtedly her best album since 2006's "Back to Basics," has added another gem to her glorious discography. Firstly, this album is quite an experience. It feels like a story is being told in stages.

    "Liberation" and "Searching for Maria" are two captivating and cinematic intro tracks that lead into the exciting and encaptivating "Maria," which features a Michael Jackson sample and searches for the passionate girl inside her. The "collaboration" works and the production is genius, especially the haunting outro backed by just a triangle. A stand-out for sure.

    "Sick of Sittin'" delves into rock-ish/Americana territory and is about breaking chains and being free, reminiscent of "Fighter" and "Army of Me."

    "Dreamers" is a nice little interlude leading into the explosive, powerful, and spine-tingling "Fall in Line" featuring Demi Lovato, one of 2018's best singles. It is a redeeming empowerment anthem with a great key change. The vocal power on this song is out-of-this-world, and the built-up production takes this song to another level. Definitely a stand-out.

    "Right Moves" and "Like I Do" move on to chill reggae/R&B territory and feature some moody/vibe-ish tracks with lots of stellar production, restrained vocals, and great features.

    "Deserve" is a great song with trap production but is entirely Xtina, with lyricism about relationships and introspection.

    "Twice" is a haunting piano ballad reminiscent of something on Stripped. It is a beautiful song and showcases Xtina's vocal talent and emotional delivery. Very much a stand-out.

    "Accelerate" is one of 2018's most underrated tracks! It is such a groovy track with different production, and yet it works as it's quite infectious.

    "Pipe" is the reactivation of Dirrty Xtina. Its lyrics aren't very subtle, but that adds to the flavor of the song, which speaks about a lover giving it down. It is sexual, sensual, and relatable. The production is also top-notch and bouncy. Definitely another stand-out.

    "Masochist" is a witty track about causing self-inflicted pain to oneself over other people. It is one of those happy-sad songs, with quaint and longing production. It is quite emotional inducing, too.

    "Unless It's With You" is an IMPECCABLE closer! It is classic Xtina and reminds me of songs like "Save Me From Myself" from Back to Basics. It is a wedding song, for sure, with lyrics like "I don't want to get married/Unless it's with you" backed by a gospel choir, piano, and Xtina's acrobatic vocals that hit mind-blowing runs, whistle notes, and emotional vocals enough to move the most jaded of people to tears. By far another stand-out.

    All in all, this "Liberation" demonstrates how Christina has returned to form. It is inspired, mature, vulnerable, unabashed, insecure, truthful, and most of all: meaningful. It is a classic Xtina album. The six-year gap was worth the wait as it is hands-down one of 2018's best releases.    … Expand

    Xtina delivered a cohesive piece of art and allows her voice to shine. It's a clear narrative she is telling - about finding yourself again. The standouts are the R&B tracks - Pipe, Deserve, Like I Do - and the ballads - Masochist, Unless It's With You, Twice. And can we talk about the intro - that's art!

    We needed this album at a time when all music on radio sounds the same.

    Xtina is back with a genuine masterpiece since her "bionic". Liberation, as its name says by itself, is about to be free after years chained. Aguilera show us she still own the game and put her soul and heart in this new project.

    WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE & TO BE A “DAY ONE” #FIGHTER. Y’all #Liberation had me sobbing at the end with ‘Unless It’s With You’ -NO LIE! Understand from B2B was my ultimate and this song is its better twin. @xtina gave me everything I want & need with this album! I am beyond proud!

    This is Christina's much anticipated comeback and she nailed it. Great vocals and empowering music. She worked with talented people and she created a very different album that will get people talking about it.

    No doubt, this is one of the best albums of 2018. It's sincere, funny, liberating and thought-provoking. Maria is powerful melodies set the tone for the album. Deserve is a very sympathetic song. Generally speaking, every song on this album is suitable. The message is clear: let's release it!

    What a riveting album from start to finish. A very cohesive album and in my opinion Christina's best album to date. This album is a Story unravelling and Aguilera's emotions are felt through every song. Deserve is heartwrenching, Maria is Stirring and emotional and Unless Its With You the albums closer will have you in tears. And after all was said, sung and heard i came away liberated.

    After six years, Xtina delivered a fantastic, well thought-out and solid album. It's not perfection, but one should be pretty happy with hit. Hearing her voice again made me love every second of it!

    Liberation never reaches the heights fans likely wanted from Xtina, it serves as a pleasant refresher for a voice that has earned its place in the annals of pop history. That said, it’s a bit sad to feel like her finest moments are, at least for now, also in her past.

    Aguilera lets her talent fly as high as her freak flag, solving pop’s current obsession with box-ticking by nudging their lines into shapes more her liking.
