Untitled

Lotus is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Christina Aguilera, released on November 9, 2012 by RCA Records. After the low sales figures of her sixth studio album Bionic (2010), Aguilera was inspired by events in her life, including appearing on The Voice, and a divorce, which she describes as a rebirth to her. Aguilera recorded the album at her home studio, with new collaborators such as the known Alex da Kid, Max Martin, Lucas Secon, and new producers such as Mike Del Rio, Jamie Hartman, Aeon Manahan, Chris Braide, Supa Dups and Jason Gilbert. The album contains two duets with Aguilera's co-stars on the reality talent show The Voice, Cee Lo Green (on "Make the World Move") and Blake Shelton (on "Just a Fool").

While a pop album, Lotus also explores other styles, including dance-pop on "Your Body" and "Make the World Move", piano-driven power ballads on "Sing for Me" and "Blank Page" (a collaboration with Sia Furler, who had previously worked with Aguilera on "Bionic"), and rock-tinged empowerment anthems on "Army of Me" and "Cease Fire". Aguilera also described the song "Army of Me" as "Fighter 2.0". The lead single, "Your Body", was released on September 17, 2012. It reached number 34 on the US Billboard Hot 100, while reaching top-forty in several countries.

Upon its release, Lotus received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who were ambivalent towards its lyrics and found its music conventional. It debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 73,408 units. Internationally, the album charted moderately, marking career lows for Aguilera.

Background

After her sixth studio album Bionic (2010) was met with low sales figures,[3] Aguilera divorced from husband Jordan Bratman, released her first movie, Burlesque, and its accompanying soundtrack, became a coach on NBC's The Voice[4] and released "Moves Like Jagger" (2011), a collaboration with Adam Levine's Maroon 5, which spent four weeks atop the Hot 100 and sold 4.9 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[5] After that, she announced plans to record a new album, declaring that quality was more important than quantity and that she wanted to find "personal" songs to record.[5] "The album will be a culmination of everything I've experienced up until this point.... I've been through a lot since the release of my last album, being on ('The Voice'), having had a divorce," she said. "This is all sort of a free rebirth for me."[6] "I'm embracing many different things, but it's all feel-good," she said of the album, including tracks that are "super-expressive" and fun, with moments that are "super-vulnerable."[6] "This album is about self-expression and freedom," Aguilera said in a statement announcing the album, "There is a lot I have gone through personally over the past few years and this record represents a rebirth for me. The record is about freedom and getting back to the root of who I am and what I love to do."[7] Speaking about her new material on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2012, Aguilera said, "It's coming, I'm very, very excited". "It's quality not quantity. I don't like to just get songs from producers. I like them to come from a personal place" "I'm very excited. It's fun, exciting, introspective, it's going to be great".[8]

Aguilera revealed the album title Lotus on Twitter, on September 12, 2012.[9] She posted, "album title, Lotus, representing an unbreakable flower that survives under the hardest conditions and still thrives."[9] It was announced that Lotus would be released on November 13, 2012, by RCA Records,[4] however, the album was leaked to the internet a week earlier than the official release, on November 5, 2012.[10] On October 5, 2012, Christina Aguilera unveiled the cover for the album through her Twitter account.[11] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Aguilera said that the album was a "very multi-layered, very heartfelt record. [...] I wanted to share all the different sides of me, as a woman, and as a creator and an artist. Part of that is being a mom. Part of that is sexuality. Part of that is vulnerability. Part of that is aggression and angst. All those pieces make me who I am." Aguilera also said that the that the record would be "a time of celebration, of embracing being a pop star."[12]

Artwork

Fashion photographer Enrique Badulescu shot the cover and the accompanying album artwork.[13] On the cover, she's nude, with her long, blond hair covering her nipples, while her vulva is shaded by a white light. Her arms are extended as she emerges from a lotus flower.[14] According to Jocelyn Vena of MTV News, "The photo certainly works with her artwork for her 'Your Body' single, which features the singer naked, and covered only by a sheer, pink cloth."[14] Byron Flitsch of MTV Buzzworthy was impressed with the cover, writing, "Girl pretty much packed everything beautiful in the world into just one pic: a sunrise, a blooming flower, and the most impeccably conditioned hair we've ever seen. Based on this album cover's perfection, we think it's pretty much a done deal that every song within will be set to the tune of PURE EPICNESS."[15] JusMusic of Medley Mag wrote that she "poses nude for the angelic-styled artwork, a visual which is sure to entice fans and supporters."[16] Tifanny Lee of Yahoo! Music said that "the singer seems to be cleansing herself of her overtly raunchy 'Xtina' persona with a new record, a sexy new bod and a heavenly, very strategically placed light."[17] Antoinette Bueno of The Insider wrote that "After all the talk about her curvier figure as of late, clearly she's making a statement that she's proud of her body and not ashamed to show it! ....Is this a return to her Stripped days?."[18] Emily Exton of Pop Dust wrote that "the album art fulfills the dreams of all who watched 'Genie in a Bottle' every night before bed, with only long, white-blonde hair extensions and tall petals standing between them and the happy place."[19] Sam Lansky of Idolator expressed, " On one hand, her hair, makeup and body are bangin’, albeit highly airbrushed. On the other hand, she’s channeling circa-2002 Stripped-era Xtina with the nude-cover-shot-with-hair-covering-breasts angle, emerging seductively from a pale pink lotus flower like some pastel parody of the Birth of Venus."[20]

Composition and influence

"I'm embracing many different things, but it's all feel-good," Aguilera said in an interview, describing the new material as "super-expressive" and fun, with moments that are "super-vulnerable."[6] On the range of styles explored by Lotus, she tweeted: "Conceptually I didn't target one particular sound/genre", adding that "a Lotus intro" would "set the tone for the whole record."[9] Alex da Kid, who first teamed with Aguilera for 2010's "Castle Walls" on T.I.'s No Mercy, worked with Aguilera and songwriter Pillay on several Lotus cuts, with much of the recording taking place at Aguilera's home studio. "I've worked with big and smaller people, and the more established people can get stuck in their ways and say they're not open to critique," Alex Da Kid said. "She definitely had a strong opinion, but she'll go with the best idea in the room. That's really rare for someone that's had so much success."[4] Aguilera also commented about working with Max Martin:

"Max is legendary in the business. He's known about me but we haven't crossed paths. I think when I came in you heard his name with Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, Britney Spears – those records were the kind I wanted to stray apart from. If you look at what I did in the past [after my debut], I always try to do things that will challenge me and challenge the listener, too. Could this have worked 10 years ago? I'm not sure. It's taken us a decade in the same business and watching each other from a distance, so for us to now come together and respect each other's work ethic and how we like to be heard and making a marriage out of it, I think 'Your Body' is the best culmination of that."[7]

Aguilera dips into many genres-from dance-pop on "Your Body" and "Make the World Move" (which is a duet with fellow Voice coach Cee Lo Green), piano-driven power ballads ("Sing for Me", Sia collaboration "Blank Page") and rock-tinged empowerment anthems ("Army of Me", "Cease Fire"). The album also finds Aguilera working with newer collaborators such as Alex Da Kid, Sia and Max Martin, on the first single "Your Body".[4] Aguilera commented about the song "Army of Me", and its similarity to "Fighter" from her 2002 album Stripped, in an interview for Billboard: "There's a song called 'Army of Me,' which is sort of a 'Fighter 2.0.' There is a new generation of fans from a younger demographic that might not have been with me all the way but that watch me on the show now. I feel like every generation should be able to enjoy and have their piece of 'Fighter' within." [7] When the official tracklist was announced, it was revealed that Aguilera had worked with two of her colleagues from The Voice - Cee Lo Green, in the already announced duet on "Make the World Move", and Blake Shelton, on "Just a Fool".[21]

Lotus received generally mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 58, which indicates "mixed or average reviews", based on 11 reviews.[31] Sarah Rodman of The Boston Globe called it "a good start in the effort to refocus attention on Aguilera's skills", but observed "several tracks that sound mindlessly repetitive as sedentary listening experiences".[32] Q called it "generic".[28] Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club felt that the album "often plays it safe" and accused Aguilera of "dumbing down her voice or lyrics for the sake of lightweight tunes or prevailing trends."[22] Melissa Maerz of Entertainment Weekly found the album's "self-empowerment anthems ... as contradictory as they are unoriginal" and criticized its production for "digitally smother[ing]" Aguilera's vocals and "draining all the emotion".[23] Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani asserted that because it is "Aguilera's shortest album since her debut, it boasts less filler, but also fewer obvious standouts."[30] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times felt that the album's conventional direction is "its biggest crime, more than its musical unadventurousness or its emphasis on bland self-help lyrics or its reluctance to lean on Ms. Aguilera’s voice, the thing that makes her special."[26] Jon Rolan of Rolling Stone dismissed it as a "vitriol-tsunami of a record".[29]

In a positive review, Allmusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that Aguilera "feels comfortable in this familiar, slightly freshened territory" and asserted, "it's hard to blame her for playing it safe, particularly because she wound up with such a strong pop album, one that reconfirms her gifts as a singer and savviness as a pop star."[1] Simon Price of The Independent felt that the album's "best moments are its electro-pop numbers."[25] Kitty Empire of The Observer characterized its subject matter as "wiffle of the highest order", but wrote that "one of the pleasures of Aguilera is that she can use polysyllables, even when talking the rot that fills women's mags."[27] Andrew Hampp of Billboard commended Aguilera for "bringing her voice front and center where it was often muted on Bionic" and viewed that Lotus "largely benefits from all the bombast - Aguilera hasn't sounded so fun and energized in years."[2] Although she criticized its "upbeat pop anthems", Melody Lau of Exclaim! found Aguilera to be "reinvigorated" and felt that she "shines most when she's direct, honest and vulnerable."[24]

Commercial performance

In the United States, Lotus debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 73,408 units.[33] This was considerably lower than her previous album, Bionic (2010) which opened at number three with sales of 110,000 units. The following week the album fell to number seventeen with sales of 52,558 copies.[33] It debuted at 28 on the UK Albums Chart with sales of 9,422 becoming her lowest charting album there.[34][35][36] The album debuted at number 19 in Australia, her lowest-charting album in the country since her debut.[37] As of December 5, 2012, Lotus had sold 140,381 copies in the US.
