    I think in this album Christina showed one more time that she knows what she is doing in this world. She sounded so authentic, mature, and true to her own feelings, Its not just a set of songs grouped together to please de radio listeners or to make a lot of money. It's true and pure art, with personal and universal messages, that should be listened by everyone with open heart and mind.

A part of this,its also so good to listen to her exploring different genres of music one more time, its brave. The artists that she was inspired by and all the care and finalization of the album, is a prove that she is in a different and high level of music industry, even when criticism obviously influeced by nonprofessional factors, doens't gives her the true value she deseves. She remains supremme to all generic and artistically poor material they use to acclaim as "excellent".… Expand

    Christina can sing whatever genre she wants. Her voice is so good in every song. No doubt i'ts the best album of 2018. The highlights: Maria, Deserve, Fall in Line and Twice.

    A very mature album, strong, powerful and incredible. It has a great passage through pop, r&b, soul, hip&hop and reggae. The lyrics are very good, they bring strength and strength. It also talks about love, sex, life, about meeting in life and marriage. Christina Aguilera came back in style, brought a wonderful album and her vocals are beautiful and strong as ever.

    Christina Aguilera has the gift to reinvent herself in music whenever she takes the initiative of her albums, she continues being the greatest inspiration of generations for music, for her talent, love of music and of course her voice that is the best in the industry musical, simply deserves Grammy of the album of the year. the song "maria", "pipe" and    new album is amazing, a work of art

    There is something for everyone, baroque pop on the title track, soul-sample with a trap beat on Kanye-assisted Maria, pop-rock (Sick of Sittin'), belting power pop (Fall in Line), reggae (Right Moves), ballads (Twice, Unless It's with You), electro-R&B (Accelerate) and dreamy Deserve. Definitely worth the wait, great comeback, Xtina.

    I was waiting again for Christina Aguilera and her new music, I always thought that I did not want to hear those songs that are only made to be played in a club. This album has hip hop, R & b and beautiful soul. It shows that she wanted to sing, really. Liberation is easy going. Listen Maria, Deserve and fall in line. (sick of sittin is the most rare and I love it)

    So happy for her comeback! finally after 6 years, she is comeback with new album. And I think Liberation album is place where she is find her way again and be herself no matter what hatters say. And the track by track have own meaning like Fall In Line about Empowerment etc. Track by track in this album is like Stripped 2.0 with more R&B sound but still have Christina Style.

    My Favourite track is Maria, Fall In Line, Right Moves (This song is so much like Agnez Mo style, you can check "Damn I Love You by Agnez Mo"), Like I Do, Deserve, Twice, Accelerate, Masochist, & Unless With You

    But one thing that i'm not really like that there is too much Interlude & Intro in this album, so I can't get another full track from Christina but just a Intro or Interlude. But this album still can be my jam.

    So Glad for your comeback Queen #Fighters Forever !    … Expand

    Fortunately, with Liberation Christina Aguilera proved that she still owns the throne and she did not and will not disappoint her fans.
    Liberation is definitely one of her best work and out of this world amazing record.

    Liberation is such an interesting experience. The blending of sounds is interesting, and the lyrics go beyond any bubblegum pop CD out there. We all know Xtina is a risk taker, and she doesn't want to be labeled as a Pop singer. Here she sings her heart out, experiments and plays with soul, RnB and Hip hop. An interesting approach.

    Her vocals are always a blessing to listen to, but in some tracks, that incorporate a more trap beat, her voice doesn't work very well, and it sounds kind of awkward at times.

    The features are overall weak, with the exception of Demi Lovato and Lauren Evans, Demi surprised me in Fall in line, her vocals and Christina's match almost perfectly.

    So overall, it is a good album, but her experimental efforts don't really pay off the way she was expecting.

    Favorite Songs: Maria, Fall in line, Twice, Pipe, Unless i'm with you

    Liberation is the best album of christina aguilera.
    the voice and range is out of this world.
    Liberation is a masterpiece a caviar ratchet.
    Chistina shows the big star she is and why she is the best singer of our generation
    Xtina is a legend and wonderful artist

    the album definitely has a purpose, flow, and delivers all the different ways in which someone can be "liberated" - creatively, physically, socially and spiritually. She covers the genres she tackles with grace, and you can tell each track _means_ something. Love hearing her go all out.

    The liberation album is a journey. You really have to listen to it from beginning to end. The songs are connected to each other. Christina is really a story teller just like her stripped album.

    Christina always give me the feeling of excitement every time she release an album. Given the fact that she is one of the best vocalist, she continue to explore and experiment her vocal capacities without losing her identity.

    Stripped and Back to Basics were the best Christina's album because she was free, she decided everything, she doesn't care about nothing and gave us two milestone albums. I love every single seconds of these 2 albums then Christina lost something, she stopped to write, she worked With mainstream producers and she gave up to the sound of the moment, for this reason I save 12 tracks inStripped and Back to Basics were the best Christina's album because she was free, she decided everything, she doesn't care about nothing and gave us two milestone albums. I love every single seconds of these 2 albums then Christina lost something, she stopped to write, she worked With mainstream producers and she gave up to the sound of the moment, for this reason I save 12 tracks in Bionic and 9 in Lotus. I was very very scared about this album, I couldn't think she was made me love her like early of her carreer! In Liberation she's present in every detail, she wrote her song again and she's been the boss of herself! I loved immediately "accelerate" but I think the figure of her on the video ruined everything... If Rihanna or Taylor Swift had sang "accelerate" surely it's been a success but she's Christina and she needs to get back her fame and respect.
    Liberation is a journey, hip-hop or pop or soul are restriction When you talk about Christina because she's those and more more more things. This album sometimes looks like a greatest hits because every track is extremely different but I don't know Why every word and every song are pieces of the puzzle, and extraordinarily makes sense! Christina doesn't care to be loved, she just did her job, she created What she was feelings and I'm seriously love this album more and more and more every day.
    My favourite songs are: Deserve, Pipe, Accelerate, Maria, Unless it's With you but I love every song. I think Christina knows perfectly What she wants again, she's honest as f*ck and staying impassive is impossible!    … Expand

    A coherent album that focuses on several chapters of Xtina's recent Liberation: her liberation as an artist; her liberation sexually; her liberation romantically and her liberation of negative people around her. The albums highlights are 'Unless It's With You', 'Deserve' and 'Like I Do'.

    The best album of 2018. Dirty Computer is extraordinary don't get me wrong, but Liberation is just a towering accomplishment, Xtina has outdone herself.

    Um dos melhores álbuns do ano, sem dúvidas. Uma mistura de um pop com R&B, nada genérico. Vemos Christina em sua essência, com sua voz potente e letras marcante. Não é a toa que foi eleita uma das vozes da geração. Xtina is Back!!!

    Over the past 6 years, since her last album "Lotus," much has changed for Christina Aguilera personally and professionally. Much has also changed within the music industry, as well. The fact that Liberation offers a relevant point of view is incredible, as most of the material was recorded throughout those 6 years.

Much has also changed within the music industry, as well. The fact that Liberation offers a relevant point of view is incredible, as most of the material was recorded throughout those 6 years. Some of the highlights are: "Deserve" - no other female singer could pull off a track such as ||"Deserve"|| the way Christina can. he approach is incredibly confident, yet, there is an immense undertone of defeat: her tone suggest she knows what she’s done wrong, and she wishes to make it right by displaying tremendous vulnerability admitting the reasons as to why she has faltered this way. ||"Accelerate"||, is one of Christina’s strongest lead singles. It does not conform to traditional structures, and it is experimental on all fronts. Yet, it manages to stay cohesive throughout, and above all, one never loses sight of the fact that Xtina is in the song’s driver’s seat. ||"Pipe"|| Though it’s still unclear as to who Christina’s collaborator “XNDA” is on "Pipe" (literally, the internet has no clue), there is little confusion as to this song's brilliance. The track is a smooth jam, with trip-hoppy undertones. It oozes smoothness and warmth. I envision Pipe being the song one plays, when about 70% of one’s party guests have arrived, and the party is about to officially take off. ||"Masochist"|| the 14th track on "Liberation" is yet another exceptional offering. Though it is not about overt Sadomasochism, the song details the painful gratification gained when one stays in a moot relationship. ||"Unless It’s With You"||, is the album’s closer. In this beautifully restrained, blues inspired ballad, Christina details her lack of preoccupation with white picket fences, and the idea of marriage - in fact, she won’t entertain marriage unless it’s with this one special person. Liberation's only weak point is it narrative structure, moving a few of the songs around would result in a much more thematically cohesive record. Additionally, in my opinion, ||"Fall In Line"|| makes such a great impact on its own, that it could do without ||"Dreamers"|| as its intro. But my goodness, it's a very special day today, as we have Christina Aguilera back in artistic mode, officially. As Jon Pareles, of the New York Times states, in his review of "Liberation": A voice like [Aguilera's] has become something like a turntable: a vintage prize, a modern novelty, a niche taste." Welcome back Xtina.… Expand

    Ame cada uno de los tracks de Liberation , los fts, el tener a Demi Lovato y todos esos sonidos , Xtina busca siempre experimentar y el hacer algo distinto en cada album, salir de la casilla no es facil pero Xtina siempre lo hace y el resultado es fantástico.

    The sound quality, the lyrics and the voice is just pure genius. You can tell it wasn't made to please the top 40 chart but meant to keep it real about the music - which is what makes it so good. Few singers can do it like Aguilera does.

    Não há um erro em Liberation, a não ser, acabar após 15 músicas.
    Obrigado Xtina por nos presentar com sua arte. Maria e Deserve patroas do álbum, apenas.

    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.
