Very moderate Song Collection

Predecessor "Bionic" was a commercial disaster, especially disappointing for fans because Aguilera's promise to make an electric album with experimental, cutting-edge songs was not only not redeemed, but trampled. Banal numbers without context, as defined innovative singer apparently to imitate Santigold, MIA and Sia.

"Lotus" now is the classic second album to total flop - swiftly collected numerous hit-producers and those geleiert some nice Nümmerchen from the ribs (bought). Too bad: Even reliable hit Liferanten like Max Martin but only second choice from. "Let There Be Love" should probably be Aguilera's "Where Have You Been", but completely fails in comparison. Ever: Constantly more than sneaking the listener the feeling that he had yet heard that somewhere before. "Army Of Me" is a weak disco number that could not even help Cher comeback. "Circles" with such lines of text as "spinning around in circles on my middle middle finger" and "Shut Up", with its seemingly-casual "Hater, you can me times" -Lyrics are banal, infantile. For theoretically successful songs like the Positive Energy ballad "Sing For Me" and the country duet "Just A Fool" with Blake Shelton Aguilera draws unfortunately again too much all vocal register. Because can Aguilera sing well per se, they are too often force precedence over feeling (and yes, the authors are aware that they in "Sing For Me" sings that she does not care how people find their vocal style, so I have to but do not keep it off for good). "Blank Page" would be the flagship ballad on this album.

Party Suitable for this is certainly all that, however, there are also hundreds of specialist publications, which are not only suitable for party, but also good. Here the listener a loose song collection is served, lack the connections and sense of style. Unlike other Hitmaschinen like Katy Perry and (in the US still) Britney, whose albums are not cohen immersive, but still from the same cast act (what Christina recently with "Stripped" managed), this disc is only a compilation of different , igniting little ideas. As a precaution, fast pseudo-slogan draufgepinnt ("Lotus" - after the intro to sound especially because for once different and interesting textured), anyone wirds buy already. Rihanna does nothing else for years, but their Poduzenten have for example the finer sense of hits - and run after not only the competition. It's no coincidence that one of the Anspieltipps that promiscuous "Around The World" also sounds as if there Aguilera Rihanna kindly provided.

Too bad, but somehow no longer gets the Aguilera there since the great "Stripped" partout on album length back.
