Christina Aguilera's Bi-on-ic

Hi There,I don’t normally write music reviews but if the outcome of this will trigger the “possibility” of an economic exchange between the labels and the consumer, then I thought I better give it a shot.  Heck, I just want people to talk about albums. Oh wait, do people talk about albums anymore.  More on that format later on.I’m not going to talk about her vocal prowess because that’s a given.  Firstly, before even playing the first song, the impression that I have on the creative of the album is one that is dancy, edgy, electronica etc.  Unfortunately it’s not, and it’s actually quite all over the place.  If I were to to summarize the order, and that is the order of the theme of the songs, it will go something like this:- I’m not myself tonight- Sex for Breakfast - Having a daughter and mothership- I Hate Boys- Narcissistic and LiberalizationOverall pace? It was like a sandwich; fast songs, slow songs, fast songs.What I liked about it? The single “Not myself tonight” will sure do well in clubs.  But what took me by surprise was “I Am”.  As I was listening to the song, it was clear that Christina had changed her voice and I thought I was listening to Zee Avi!But otherwise I think the dance tunes stood out for me.  Apart from the first single, I think “Desnudate” will do quite well, as well as the somewhat Timbaland influence of “Vanity”The album also features her daughters voice at inconspicuous places for example at the end of the album which I thought was pretty cool (assuming you’ve made it that far, yeah you out there who only cares about the singles or who like skipping tracks)Again the type of album that could have been collapsed into a 4/6 songs EP. Perhaps record companies should start taking this approach?Let’s cut costs (and make it affordable / impulse buying prone for the consumer) and make some hits.  Like Ja Rule’s ending on “Always on Time”.  ”It’s nothing but the hits, nothing but the hits, nothing but the muthaf*&#in hits.”
