    Christina Aguilera is truly the greatest female singer of our time, with the ability to command total attention on stage and manipulate the emotions of listeners with her powerful and touching voice, Christina's vocal range and unique tonality of her voice easily lift her to the position of the greatest female singer of today.

Move over mariah, simply trilling and belting with no feeling isn't enough to win my vote. You may have an amazing voice but Christina's expression and emotional style beats you hands down. Whitney is also a beautiful artist!… Expand

    Desde Stripped, este tal vez es su segundo álbum mas personal. tiene algo de cada disco, la libertad de Stripped, un concepto muy solido como el de Back to Basics , la experimentación de Bionic y ese renacimiento de Lotus. Sin dudar, ¡ella lo hizo otra vez !

    Once again she reinvents herself! Liberation is fresh, powerful and cozy at the same time. Christina plays with her voice in different rythms and proves, once again, how versatile she is. This was my favorite 2018 album!

    I really love this album and it deserves to be even more critically acclaimed. Too bad jealous and embarrassing britney and beyonce stans and xtina haters can't handle Christina succeeding and have to sabotage her. Tragic.

    Liberation is a masterpiece like Christina Aguilera herself. She's really having the most beautiful voice. We should celebrate amazing artist before they're gone. I admire Christina Aguilera and her honesty. Xtina just cares about music.

    Christina Aguilera is the greatest singer in the world. Honestly, the most beautiful voice, the soul and the heart. On the top of that she's just doesn't care about charts anymore and that one of the reason why Liberation is so amazing : we don't feel like stupid sheep buyer but like we are blessed with a golden voice. THANK YOU. Peace and love.

    Christina em toda sua voz e honestidade, além de uma grande produção. Um dos melhores de sua carreira, e que realmente funciona enquanto um conjunto, todas as faixas se interligam. Grande álbum!

    Such a great album. It's so different from anything she's ever done before. My fave tracks are Right Moves, Pipe, Like I Do those sound very experimental and different she sounds different but great in those tracks.

The production all throughout the album is of great quality that really helps to bring the songs to life. The lyrics are everything from fun and energetic to vulnerable & deeply personal. Perhaps the greatest quality of this album, to me at least, is that it is very versatile and includes many different sounds and vibes while still managing to have unity & cohesiveness as a whole musical body of work! In Liberation, the listener can find a song for almost any occasion and any mood they might be in and the music will fit in greatly. It's also never really a Christina Aguilera album if it doesn't include those powerhouse vocals that the singer-songwriter is known for! This album is certainly no exception, as it contains some of her best vocal performances in years! Liberation is overall some of Aguilera's best work since Back To Basics in 2006. While it may not necessarily be her best album ever, Liberation is a worthy and quality addition to the excellent discography that Aguilera has given us over the years! Overall, this album is a solid and impressive body of work and I would recommend it to all Aguilera fans and any fan of music!

    People who have so much hatred in their heart do not appreciate a masterpiece. Go pick your own kind of music.

    To me, Its one of her best record. She dropped the oversinging and brought a material more fresh. A record short but with good quality music.

    This is exactly what I was expecting for a Xtina album! Her tone and the rawness behind some songs is something only herself could deliver. My favourite after more than 400 spins is "Twice"

    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.
