She also successfully dive into modern sounds and make them fit softly into her voice, which is a total stand out in the album. She gives us many textures and ranges of her voice, exploring R&B and soul music. Maria, Deserve, Like I Do, Fall In Line, Pipe and Unless It's With You are the highlights in an album with few lows. Only the track Right Moves seems to be misplaced, but it doesn't break the power of the entire record. Expand

    Absolutely the best album released this year so far. The album entails a story of Christina Aguilera going back to her old self and finding what she have lost. Tracks 1 to 3 were on fire. They were tailored perfectly. Liberation shows how Christina Aguilera's voice can shift from one tone to another and to another and to another. She is a beast! Not a lot of singer can do that.

    After six years of "searching for Maria", Christina Aguilera found her liberty as a creative artist again. She redeemed herself from the failures of Lotus and, I hate to say, Bionic (but I will continue to defend the genius of that album and how true of her to say that it was ahead of its time) and delivered a sincere and powerful statement in her new record, Liberation. As a long timeAfter six years of "searching for Maria", Christina Aguilera found her liberty as a creative artist again. She redeemed herself from the failures of Lotus and, I hate to say, Bionic (but I will continue to defend the genius of that album and how true of her to say that it was ahead of its time) and delivered a sincere and powerful statement in her new record, Liberation. As a long time fan, I assumed I knew what I was in for—the raw vocals, the powerful lyric statements, the sensuality—and yes they were all there, but Aguilera managed to surprise me with the new dimensions of her vocals despite me knowing that she can SING ANY GENRE. The hip-hop, r&b (and even a touch of reggae) route she chose as path and the unique production that was arguably out of character for her in most of her albums (save for Stripped), really showed her authentic versatility. She has always been such a risk-taker and a true chameleon in the music industry never settling for the confines of a single one-dimensional genre (despite being a pop star, she has always expressed that pop music is her least favorite), the current fad and sought-out collaborators and producers. Listen to Stripped, Back to Basics, and Bionic in one sitting and you'd know what I mean.... I always try to be constructive with her music and I must say, Aguilera was able to pull all the right stops in this album. I do wish she added a real club banger, and another Lift Me Up ballad. I would love to hear the song(s) she and Linda Perry did that was not able to make it to the final cut. A deluxe edition, anyone? Anyway, tens, tens, tens across the board! Expand

    Some people just spread hate and can't accept the fact that Christina Aguilera's work will always be ahead compared to the rest. The wait is definitely worth it. The Intro is just liberating + Track #2 is just awesome. Where is Maria is an outstanding piece of her. There are a lot of songs in this album that make others cringe. Slow clap for Miss Aguilera. You liberate the nation.

    Xtina made sure that what she brought to our plate is something unconventional. This masterpiece cannot be beaten by other artists. She brought us to her world. The Intro was enchanting and the arranagement of the songs were put on a shelf correctly. The ending showed us how vulnerable Xtina is when talking about love. Indeed, it's worth waiting for. Chrissy for the win.

    This is by far my favorite album of 2018 and definitely one of her best. I feel like this album is up there with her iconic album "Stripped" and I couldn't be any more impressed. The songs themselves are great, but her vocal delivery is what makes them truly shine. Also, her versatility and ability to sing songs of varying genres is beyond amazing to me.

    Christina Aguilera topped herself again this time. I must say that I really enjoyed the album. It's her most cohesive album ever produced. This album shows her versatility. My favorite track is number 15. It's the best way to end an album. It was a cleansing moment hearing the song.

    As usual Aguilera didn't joke when it comes to a new album an a new conception for it! Liberation tell us a storie from the first track to the last one, and you can feel how she gets liberated trough every single song you'll listen. If you're familiar with her discography Liberation can easily become one of your favorite album from her. Congratulations Christina, you did a great work!

    An album that keeps pace with modern pop trends while remaining true to Aguilera’s past.

    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.
