Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

4/5

lots to say about this. this should have been 2 separate albums honestly, vol 1 and 2 are so so different from each other (and made it long as fuck christ). her voice is absolutely insane (we knew this but was a good reminder. what a powerhouse voice). halfway through the 'thank you (dedication to fans)' really just? feels? so weird? its a song full of voicemails left for christina about how much they love her. it feels a bit. odd. ain’t no other man, welcome, candyman and hurt are my faves.
