Liberation is the eighth studio album by American singer Christina Aguilera. The album was released on June 15, 2018, through RCA Records. It is Aguilera's first studio album in six years, following her seventh studio album Lotus (2012). The album was Aguilera's last album under RCA Records as she parted ways in 2024. The singer started recording the album in late 2014, and throughout 2015 and 2017, Aguilera collaborated with a handful of producers and songwriters to reach her desired sound; Pharrell Williams and Linda Perry were in the studio in early stages and ended up not being on the album, while new collaborators such as Anderson .Paak, Kanye West, Che Pope, Mike Dean and Tayla Parx were confirmed to be on the album. It features collaborations with Demi Lovato, Keida, Shenseea, GoldLink, Ty Dolla Sign, 2 Chainz, and Lewis Hamilton under the pseudonym "XNDA".

Liberation was preceded by the singles "Accelerate", "Fall in Line" and "Like I Do", and the promotional single, "Twice". Critical reception towards the album was generally positive, with music critics complimenting Aguilera's vocals, the album's experimental styles, and the cohesive sound. Commercially, it positioned within the top ten in nine countries, including the United States, peaking at number six on the Billboard 200 chart. It also reached number one in Spain, number three in Switzerland, and number five in Canada.

The album's second and third singles "Fall in Line" featuring Demi Lovato and "Like I Do" featuring GoldLink, earned nominations for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 61st Grammy Awards, respectively. To promote the album, Aguilera embarked on her fifth concert tour, The Liberation Tour, beginning in September 2018. It was her first tour in nearly ten years after the Back to Basics Tour. Liberation was nominated for the International Album of the Year award at the 2018 GAFFA Awards ceremony.

Background and development

[edit]

Following the release of her seventh album Lotus (2012), Aguilera took a career hiatus to focus on her family.[1] Later in October 2015, Aguilera confirmed that she was recording two albums: one in English and one in Spanish (which was slated to be her second after 2000's Mi Reflejo).[2] During the interview, she also elaborated on the album's working process, saying: "I've been loosely working and sort of accumulating ideas for what my next album will be over the last couple of years. I'm excited for my fans to finally be getting something from me — it's been a while!"[3] In 2016, she returned to The Voice season ten, winning the series with her contestant Alisan Porter, making Aguilera the first female coach to win the series.[4] During a promotional interview for the TV show, Aguilera stated about the album: "It will be an album of freedom."[5]

On June 16, 2016, Aguilera released the song "Change", dedicated to the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting,[6] while on August 23, 2016, she released "Telepathy" for the TV series The Get Down soundtrack, which topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.[7] In February 2018, media reported that Aguilera was collaborating with Demi Lovato who confirmed a collaboration.[8] In March 2018, a low-quality snippet of a song called "Masochist" leaked online, as well as the full-length demo of the song "Fall in Line", which prompted rumors that the tracks were supposed to be on the album.[9] On May 3, 2018, Aguilera released the first single "Accelerate" featuring American singer Ty Dolla Sign and rapper 2 Chainz, as well as its music video,[10] while also confirming the album's title, Liberation, and its art, track listing and announced the album was available for pre-order online.[11]

Recording

[edit]
Kanye West (left) and Anderson .Paak (right) produced two tracks each.

Recording for the album initially took place in early 2014.[12] At early stages, the first producer that was confirmed to be working with Aguilera was Pharrell Williams, which according to the singer, had one song that she loved.[13] In 2015, Aguilera confirmed that she was still writing and gathering songs for the album to eventually record them.[13] In late November 2015, Aguilera confirmed she was working again with long time collaborator Linda Perry.[14] In February 2017, Aguilera claimed she was adding the final touches to the album,[15] however in the same month, Tayla Parx confirmed she had worked with Aguilera, as well as Da Internz, Kanye West and PartyNextDoor.[16] Billboard would later reveal that Aguilera met West in Rick Rubin's Shangri La studio in Malibu, California, a few months before West released The Life of Pablo in 2016.[17] About West, she commented: "I've always been a huge fan of Kanye. Outside of, you know, his controversial aspects, I just think he's a great artist and musicmaker and beatmaker. The artists that he chooses to pluck from different walks of life are so interesting."[17] He produced "Accelerate" as well as "Maria", which is Aguilera's personal favorite.[17]

Later in September 2017, Aguilera entered the studio again to work with Mark Ronson and Anderson .Paak.[18] Aguilera also mentioned about working with Paak, which produced two tracks, by saying: "He and I connected big-time. He was like, 'I used to watch you on TRL!' He's a great lyricist, soul singer and rapper. And he murders the drums."[19] Billboard also revealed that Liberation would have a collaboration with Demi Lovato, which was in the same song co-written by singer and songwriter Julia Michaels.[17] Commenting about choosing Lovato, Aguilera claimed: "We went through a few names of women. I needed a belty singer, and she took it to the next level. I almost cried when I first heard her on the record."[19] American singer and songwriter Jon Bellion confirmed in a now-deleted tweet that he is the producer behind "Fall in Line".[20] The singer revealed that during the album's working process she regretted not having Cardi B and Childish Gambino on the album; the first "got lost in the shuffle", after being discouraged by a producer to work with her, while the latter was working on the TV series Atlanta and the two never had the time to materialize the collaboration.[19] It was reported in the media in June 2018 that Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton had performed on the track "Pipe", under the name XNDA.[21] Hamilton did not initially confirm this,[22] but confirmed the rumors in July 2020.[23][24][25]

In August 2018, Aguilera revealed that she recorded "a lot more" songs during the Liberation studio sessions, and they could end up on her follow-up album.[26] A demo of a Spanglish song "Lolita" — recorded in 2017 and co-written by Tayla Parx — leaked in February 2021.[27] Another song supposedly recorded for Liberation but scrapped from the album was "Search the World", a neo soul track produced by Pharrell Williams. It leaked in April 2021.[28][29]

Music and lyrics

[edit]
Lewis Hamilton is featured on the R&B song "Pipe", under the pseudonym XNDA.

Liberation is a pop, R&B and hip hop record,[30][31] with soul, reggae, trap, Southern rock and dancehall elements.[32][33][34][35] It was described as a "hip-hop and R&B inspired" album by Billboard.[17] Aguilera commented: "To me, there's nothing like an amazing hip-hop beat," while also claiming: "At the end of the day, I am a soul singer. When you strip back the words 'pop star' and the many things that I've done, singing soulfully is where my core, my root and my heart really is. And as you can see, it's what I'm inspired by."[17] The New York Times's chief critic Jon Pareles noted that on the album Aguilera largely concentrates on such themes as "trauma, lust, resistance, obsession and, finally, lasting love."[36]

The album opens with the eponymous composition, "Liberation", written by Nicholas Britell.[37] We hear the voices of laughing children,[37] the melody has a cinematic quality and is played on the piano.[38][39] This instrumental prelude, lasting no more than two minutes, emphasizes the essence of freedom and being oneself.[39][40] Billboard described the third track, "Maria", as "a pulsing, intricately orchestrated piece that includes a Michael Jackson sample and an extended introduction in which Aguilera sings from The Sound of Music."[17] Aguilera commented that the influence behind the title was Julie Andrews' character in the film as well, as her middle name, adding: "Within my house a form of escape for me was opening my bedroom's window and singing out to the world pretending that I was her. It's about getting back to that little girl who just wants to sing for all the right reasons, not necessarily for charting and all the things that this business kind of does to you over the years and shaping how you look at making music."[41] On "Maria", Aguilera adapts a "bluesy lower range" and sings about existential misery.[36]

It is followed by a "funky rock-driven" track titled "Sick of Sittin'",[42] which features hard-rock guitar riffs and was inspired by the music of Janis Joplin.[36][43] The song's lyrics were characterized as "thrillingly acerbic" by The Guardian's Alim Kheraj,[44] and Aguilera explained that they "were born out of feeling stagnant in one place for too long, feeling a little asleep at the wheel. Anytime that you get just too comfortable in a place where you just feel that you're not living up to your full potential it's time to flip the script and move."[41]

The introduction to "Fall in Line", the duet with Lovato, is the track "Dreamers", which "features a group of young girls declaring goals like 'I want to be a journalist,' 'I want to be heard,' 'I want to be president.'"[17] "Fall in Line" has been described as a feminist anthem.[17] Aguilera stated that the track was recorded a few years ago and before movements such as Time's Up and the Me Too movement came out. She added: "It was the song that needed to be heard. Because of what I witnessed when I was growing up I always felt really driven to have a voice that my mom kind of never had in my childhood. So I've always wanted to be that advocate for women and anybody that was struggling to have their own voice."[41]

"Right Movies" is reggae and dancehall-inspired.[42][45] The track begins with a spoken word verse by an unknown man, but later, in a feminist gesture, it is performed by three female artists (Aguilera, Keida, Shenseea).[37] "Like I Do" is a mid-tempo song that blends elements of hip-hop, R&B, and house music.[46]

Title and artwork

[edit]

About the title of the album Aguilera explained, "I wanted to have a title that meant freeing myself from anything that wasn't my truth. That's a constant I think in everyone's life: every time you feel stifled in a current situation where you feel you're not quite yourself or being bogged down by other people's opinions. Or when you feel like you're stuck in a stagnant place."[47]

On the May 2018 cover of Paper magazine, Aguilera appeared bare-faced without makeup and retouching, saying "I'm at the place, even musically, where it's a liberating feeling to be able to strip it all back and appreciate who you are and your raw beauty."[48] The similar photography style was chosen for the Liberation artwork—posing with a natural look, Aguilera is seen in closeup. The cover of the standard edition was revealed on Aguilera's website on May 3, 2018.[49]

The performance was taped and broadcast the next night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she was interviewed and performed and "Fall in Line".[55] The next day, she performed on Today Show and was interviewed on Total Request Live.[56] On September 12, Aguilera was interviewed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[57] Several songs from Liberation made it onto the set list of Aguilera's Las Vegas residency Christina Aguilera: The Xperience (2019-2020). When on a break from the residency, Aguilera embarked on another tour in support of the album, The X Tour, throughout 2019. The X Tour promoted Liberation in Europe and Mexico across 18 dates.[58][59]

Liberation received positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Liberation has an average score of 71 based on 17 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[75] Alim Kheraj from The Observer lauded the album for being "at her most artistically emancipated".[79] Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone labelled the album "Xtina at her peak" and claimed that Aguilera's "greatest attributes is that she has rarely played it safe".[81] Mesfin Fekadu found the album "masterfully cohesive" in The Washington Post, while comparing it to Mariah Carey's The Emancipation of Mimi, "her 2005 comeback album that reminded the world to never count out the diva".[82] The New York Times critic Jon Pareles complimented the album's experimental styles incorporating various genres and wrote that "[Aguilera's] extravagant vocal flourishes connect with sweeping emotion".[36] HipHopDX writer Trent Clark opined that despite "occasional cheese-smothered lyric", the album featured Aguilera's "heavenly" vocals that was "a well-calculated offering from a living legend whose abilities are still very much intact".[77]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic discussed that while Liberation appeared to be personal, it still "resonate emotionally" despite not being "an easy route".[76] Claire Lobenfeld from Pitchfork, while unimpressed towards the album's "progressive moments" like "Pipe" or "Accelerate", claimed that the album's "sturdy moments" as on "Fall in Line" created "a promising first step toward a genuine pop rebirth—moments" that were comparable to Janet Jackson's The Velvet Rope or Whitney Houston's My Love Is Your Love.[80]

Nick Levine from NME commented that while Liberation "may lack the grand ambition and massive pop bangers of her glory days", the album was "cohesive and surprisingly low-key" that may revitalize Aguilera's career.[31] The Daily Telegraph's Neil McCormick, by contrast, disapproved of the album's music styles incorporating "rock, R&B, soul, hip hop, reggaeton and anthemic balladry" that "never settles into a coherent listening experience".[32] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine shared a similar viewpoint, commenting that the album lacked cohesion by being both "forward-minded" and "frustratingly safe".[38] BuzzFeed editor, Dylan Nguyen, called it "a throwback to Stripped", and praised its "amazing songwriting" and modern sound.[83]

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member George Clinton complimented the album track "Sick of Sittin'", calling it Funkadelic-inspired, as well as praising its "vibe" and production.[84] At the 2018 GAFFA Awards, Liberation was nominated for the International Album of the Year award.[85] It was also nominated for the International Album of the Year at the 2018 Luvpop Awards.[86]
