    Accelerate is a standout track, with some slick and forward thinking production from Kanye West, autotune-less raspy Ty Dolla $ign vocals and a dope 2 Chainz verse with a beat switch mid song. Its eccentric, eclectic and a party starter!
    Other standouts are the other Kanye produced cut Maria, which has a catchy Jackson 5 sample and strings paired with a hard hitting beat. It knocks! Like I Do which shows Aguileras ability to sing-rap with the best of them! Sick Of Sittin is pure genius with help from Anderson Paak. Right Moves and Pipe are a sexy one-two punch, sure to get you in the mood. & closing the opus with Unless Its With You... A soon to be classic powerballad with gospel influences... She takes us to church and out for dinner afterwards with those pipes! Amazing album!    … Expand

    This album is genuine and pure. This only shows that Christina Aguilera is an artist who writes music with meat of message and not some songs with melody but no substance. Honestly, i can't pick until now what's my favorite tract/s. All are so good.

    This album is worth the 6 year-hiatus. Xtina truly liberated herself in this masterpiece and has let everyone know HER truth. She showcased her versatility, musicality, vulnerability, strength, weaknesses which, once again, inspired her fans, "fighters". Maria is so good, she and Kanye should work more together. And the last three songs of the album are hands down the BEST.

    I found this quote.

    "I felt caged by my childhood. And unsafe: Bad things happened in my home; there was violence. The Sound of Music looked like a form of release. I would open my bedroom window to sing out like Maria. In my own way, I’d be in those hills."

    Liberation is her best album! Still very real and raw!

    For those who hate it. / don't like it. You say: ,,This is NOT Christina Aguilera!'' but you know what? This IS Christina Aguilera! I feel more of her soul in this album.

    Definitely the best musical return in 2018! This album is so complete; lyrically, musically and not to forget vocally.

    This album has shown the real evidence of Xtina still hold that she's still the best voice of her generation maybe til now. She just not releasing the record but she delivers the positive message for all humankind.

    Also the album counted her existence still lives on.

    I'm not a big fan of pop music but this album was the greatest surprise of the past 5 years. Evry song is a masterpiece, I really liked the intro and how it defines the whole album. Aguilera redefines herself as a pop masterpiece and vocalist who is never scared to play with different genre and experiment with her vocals. I hope this album wins at least two Grammys next year. Well done, Christina.

    miss for me and Lotus seemed all over the place. She performed at Jazz Fest in New Orleans a few years ago and while I didn't go, from the videos I saw of her performance I felt that she was getting back to that place where I fell in love with her first three albums. So now we have Liberation, which reminds me of Stripped in subject matter, genres, and vocals. The song and interludemiss for me and Lotus seemed all over the place.

So now we have Liberation, which reminds me of Stripped in subject matter, genres, and vocals. The song and interlude sequencing on the album is spot on. Strong, confident, but a richer version of Stripped is what I would describe Liberation as. There is not a song that I skip on this album. The song "Maria" with the use of the Jackson 5 song also titled "Maria" along with Christina singing is absolutely brilliant and perfection. As a diehard MJ fan, "Maria" is so epic and it's my favorite song from the album. This is the Christina that I have been waiting for. I'm so glad you're back Christina and don't take so long next time! Lol!… Expand

    I strongly believe that this album is truly one of the best works of art created in the past few decades but unfortunately most people are not open for true art that is raw and imperfect but perfect in the same way. An actual masterpiece. And Christina Aguilera is an artist that we do not deserve.

    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 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

    Liberation was well worth the six-year wait. Christina has come back with an unforgettable album that hits the refresh button and allows for everyone to experience her voice in it's purest. Christina is a true vocalist - much like Whitney, Mariah, Aretha, Ella... and this album perfectly display's her raw and unforgettable talent.

    The album has been on repeat since it was released, however, I can't imagine it's getting much airplay.
    Christina is an artist, albeit a pop star - she is a true artist and Liberation solidifies that.

    I really feel sad that many artists no longer think about the album as a whole, but rather focus on creating single songs that don’t match in sound. This album and the story it tells is quite moving.
    Christina gets to show all the colors of her voice in this. From the lows at the end of Maria, to the highs Deserve and Unless It’s With You. I’m addition we hear the quiet softness displayed in Searching for Maria and the subdued vibey vocals in Like I Do and PIPE.
    There are songs that are sexy, empowering, heart-breaking, and full of low key fun. The whole record, I would describe as a sexy vibe. Congrats to Xtina for creating another work worthy of bringing the same emotions that Stripped did for me when I was young. Not to mention her subtle political statement with an interlude entitled Dreamers being followed up by Fall In Line. Thank you for you resisting this administration and culture that is still working to bring people down.

    Liberation is about being free to look within yourself, and recognize what is good, which does well!
    It's about freeing yourself from the opinion of others, and showing the truth that exists in being yourself!
    It's about love; THE LOVE OWN!
    Mixing sounds and playing with her voice, she has created a beautiful work of art, showing that she is a real artist.

    She’s one of the few artists in this generation who supports new talents and adapts new genres artistically. No doubt she’s one of the best singers in today’s music. And, this album really proves her status again as pop icon, from new waves of genres, pop, soul, hip hop, reggae and ballad, she remains the ultimate reinvention of artist musically and artistically. The legend and the queen.

    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.
