    Xtina during 6 years worked in different sounds and lyrics and the results is the amazing Liberation. From the beginning Searching For Maria and Maria its full of art and good message! The album starts with strong answers and flows in R&B, some Rock taste and the end its the incredible Unless its you, where Xtina really did a great job with the most perfect voice ever!

    Liberation es un álbum conceptual. Posee el alma de su disco "stripped" y la alto nivel creativo de aguilera en "Back to basics". Cada canción te cuenta una historia sobre la búsqueda de Christina así misma. La voz de christina suena fresca en cada canción.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O álbum é perfeito do início ao fim. Sou absolutamente leigo, mas o álbum é todo amarrado, música a música.
    As melhores faixas não minja opinião são Maria, Sick Of Sittin, Right Moves, Accelerate e Fall in Line

    Uma verdadeira obra prima!!!!    … Expand

    Awesome Album, no autotuned voices, no generic formulas this is One the best albums out right now, you can see the hard work and the love of this passionate piece of work. From the fenomenal instrumental intro composed by an Oscar nominated producer to the glorious finale with “Unless its with you” with those falsettos and almost scremed raw beltings this is one of Christna’s best album.Awesome Album, no autotuned voices, no generic formulas this is One the best albums out right now, you can see the hard work and the love of this passionate piece of work.

    Her best album since B2B. I am in love with Maria, Right Moves, Deserve, Pipe, Masochist and Unless it's with you. It was worth waiting six years for this.

    We've been waiting for six long years for this incredible album. Christina Aguilera has shown through her carrier a huge musical evolution, and now Liberation is released with such great songs, a mixed of pop, R&B and Soul. Her voice still sounds amazing like when she used to sing on Stripped and Back to Basics era.

    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!

    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 it's the best female album of 2018
    The combo Liberation / Searching for Maria / Maria is one of the best moments of the discography of Christina Aguilera.

    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.
