[Review] Christina Aguilera Lotus

Hey FINALLY, I finished this Lotus review. It's a great project because it is really tiring to review 16 song one by one, but I did it and I'm happy it's Xtina. Because I grow listening to her and I really do know her material and..... Let's stop the talking here's the review.
*Warning this review represent my opinion only

1. Lotus
Just hear the lyrics, it generally said revival, new beginning, and survival. A perfect metaphor for the flower lotus and although it's only an intro song it's addictive. I always think Christina's voice doesn't need any auto tune because it's too beautiful no machine can make it more beautiful, but it's fit and quite good. The ethereal feeling fits perfectly and the poem is really touchy. It's fun to see someone sings about empowerment, don't give up thingy, freedom, and love. While the others sings about party, sex, drugs, illuminati (because if it's a joke, it's not funny), satanism, etc.

2. Army of Me
Not surprised if it's called Fighter 2.0 because the wiser, stronger, and fighter lyrics. Sounds like her Bionic material but sounds nice, voice is as awesome as ever, and what attracting me is the lyric. It isn't said that her heart is healed, it's still crumble, but in that miserable state she found power to get "revenge" hahaha, revenge is not my thing. Anyway this is the kind of track you want to releases as the third or fourth single, solid track, but doesn't follow the trend (thanks Rihanna and Kesha).

3. Red Hot Kinda Love
This is the kind of addictive pop song with catchy words that Rihanna's alike has been promoted lately (sorry for hating Rihanna so much, I love her song btw although it sounds like hell). Basically Xtina want to fuck you, feel good about it, own you body and soul, and.... huft a little red hot let me rest a bit. What else to say, it's a catchy song and highly addictive.

4. Make the World Move (feat Cee Lo Green)
I love this song, it's like a pop techno song with a bit retro feel to it. The lyrics highly suggest that this will be some kinda anthem song. It talks about unity and peace,  I think the lyrics and the song really fits perfectly and it's a catch song. So for God's sake promote it Xtina. Oh, the only downside of this track is, I can barely hear Cee Lo.

5. Your Body

Yupz, this is the title track everybody. Sounds nice, the lyrics is so now (sarcasm), catchy song, and why it's still flop. Oh come on, I'm a fan, but it's pretty clear it flopped at the chart. One night stand lyrics, techno music, catchy notes, funny video, and it also contain what lacks in other song, great voice. With such package, why it still flopped? I don't know really, I just don't know. Maybe if I can suggest something is to make the track a bit faster. Based on my predictions maybe it 90 until 95 bpm, maybe it'll be more catchy if they make it 120 bpm, only a suggestion btw.
Oh yeah, the MV is amazing, funny, and Xtina really confident in her curvy body. She and J-Law could make a good role model for young teen girl. I mean the curvy thing not the one night stand part. Lots of color, and the blue paint and pink confetti as blood, wow it's so funny, eccentric, great MV.

6. Let There be Love
The first time I hear it was at the AMA, and I got attract at first hear. I immediately thought why this track is not the title track, and I am still wondering. This disco sound is a great never failed formula for a highly catchy addictive song. The tension that build into the refraign along with Xtina powerful voice just great and the 'let's go' part is like a brief pause for a great climax. The lyric is talking about some free sex again which is okay (and I'm getting used to it), no more comment, I love it and Xtina better promote it ASAP.

7. Sing for Me
Mostly piano with a bit extra instrument. The instrument sounds really slow and it's good because as the title says, the highlight should be Xtina's voice only. Yes her voice because the even though the lyrics sounds sincere, it covered by Xtina's voice. It contains belting, and the others technique that Xtina always use and it's totally okay. This track is made for Xtina and in this track there's nothing I or fans or critique can say, the moment is yours.

8. Blank Page
Piano, ahh this instrument never fails to create a great ballad track. Christina's voice is softer in this track, it's great because the lyric is very fragile and vulnerable and the interpretation hit the spot. Unlike Sing for Me where Xtina's words covered, in hear we can hear her, cry with her, and comforting too. This track sounds sincere and great for a closing track in an album hahaha.

9. Cease Fire
Everything fits, the marching band, the lyrics, and the metaphor it's great. The chorus is intense and the refraign is more relaxed  which gives a unique feeling, oh and don't forget the intense bridge. huft I'm sweating (litteraly) here. The lyrics talk about freedom mostly and covered by war metaphor. Quite interesting because most war triggered by money or freedom.

10. Around the World
Yupz in this track Xtina (again) wanna have fun, sex, and traveling at the same time hahaha joking. She wants a really good sex it feels like she's traveling around the world. Honestly I'm not really understand hahahahaha sorry I'm a bit slow. The music sounds great and ah hem, no more comment hahaha.

11. Circles
Hahahahaha, this is verry funny song, and once again the lyrics sounds perfectly fit with the music. The start we hear funny eccentric sound and it get's crowded in refraign. I think it's a bit overprocessed at the refraign but just as Xtina says "you can spin around in circle in my little middle finger". The awwwhhh, the laugh, it's a mocking song and it did good on it's job.

12. Best of Me
After a couples of fun song, we get serious again. It talks about a human paracite, who can only take a make use of you, oh wow a bit emotional here, it's so me. The lyric keep it general so you can relate it to you lover or friend or anything. The intense refraign and marching really makes a strong statement "You never get the best of me". I've broken into pieces, I've been mistreated, but I won't go down. Thx Xtina, promote it, it's a great inspiring catchy song.

13. Just a Fool (feat Blake Shelton)
Once again the lyric is so fragile and gloomy. Talks about the cruelty of love, *sigh. A solid pop song, great voice, although I don' think their voices doesn't suit each other. I like it, but I don't think it'll be a great second single. It's just my guess anyway.

14. Light Up the Sky
Another empowerment song. He eh, I'm getting dizzy and tired because it's late night urgh vertigo. The lyric is beautiful and I think it's lighter than other song. So far everything has been intense, crowded, some are over processed. Hearing this makes your ear relaxed after those songs before. Maybe because it's almost the last of the album. Anyway I like it, what can I say?

15. Empty Words
I know the notes are completely differeny, but the feeling is still the same. It's lighter, talk about empowerment too and the worse is Xtina technique is exactly the same singing those song. It's not a bad track, but it's blood track 15th, put some mind blowing song so at least listener will listen the album to the end.

16. Shut Up
Hahahahaha, almost like Circle, but this song is not trying to be funny, it's a pure mock. Basically after hearing all the track people will criticize and all Xtine will say is "Shut the fuck up". Great closing song I like it.

This song is revival, a process to be strong, it contains it's fragile side too, and it also tell us to have fun. For me the track divided into 3 category, the fun which my favorite is Let There be Love. The fragile part which my favorite is Blank Page. And the last is empowerment part and my favorite is Make the World Move and Best of Me. I think Xtina is going back to her roots as pop princess and It's a pretty solid album although not brilliant like Back to Basics, I love it anyway and it's a worth to buy.

Oh btw, the album gallery which contains pink, blonde, silver, and white is georgous.
