Editorial Reviews

All Music Guide
After a stint judging the US TV talent show The Voice, the hugely popular diva returns to making music of her own with this seventh studio album, the follow-up to 2010's Bionic. Having recently been divorced, she viewed this album as a chance for a kind of rebirth, and kept her horizons wide open, refusing to be tied to any one genre. The material within encompasses dance-pop, piano ballads and R&B, and features collaborations with her fellow Voice judges Cee-Lo Green and Blake Shelton, as well as the racy single "Your Body."

    Christina's new hyped album "Lotus" is truly a rebirth

    Christina's new hyped album "Lotus" is truly a rebirth for her. We've been waiting for it since early 2011 when she went through a lot of backlash for the national anthem, weight gain, arrest and hundreds of weird rumours created by media about her life. So, you know very well that she had a lot to say on the new album about the last two years. It's quite obvious in songs like "Army of Me" ("So how does it feel to know that I beat ya, that I can defeat ya, how does it feel, 'cause it sure feels sweeter to me") which is characterized as "Fighter 2.0" by Christina herself and it's true that both songs are similar lyricwise. It's one of my favourite tracks! Another song about empowerment and feeling invincible is "Best of Me" ("Aren't you tired of throwing stones, trying to kick me when I'm down, but you'll never get the best of me"). Those two songs are representative of one of the album's main theme and concept of the unbreakable flower (Lotus) which survives under the harshest weather conditions, implying Christina has survived from the backlash all these years and she's back, stronger than ever.

    If you guys thought Bionic was bad, dear Lord this is worse. There's just about one good track on this mess, and it's completely mediocre. Aguilera's trying much too hard to become a mainstream pop artist, and the sheer talent of her voice just doesn't work with that. Yes, she's incredibly gifted, and yes, this album understates it in such a way that there's nothing left but Ke$ha-esque autotune.
    Which is in no way a good thing.
