    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.

    Liberation is dope! Well worth the wait.. Christina is back and better than ever. There are absolutely no filler tracks on this album. Even the intro and interludes sound amazing and they help tie everything together. I've been listening nonstop for the last 2 weeks... and I'm not showing any signs of stopping. Bravo Xtina

All the concept around the themes of liberation, freedom and liberty appear in different layers all placed into the well known Aguilera's universe, just like girl power, sexuality and boldness. 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

    The six year wait was worth it. Christina gets criticised for taking so long between albums but if this is the quality she comes up with when she does release music than IMO it's worth it.

    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.

    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.
