Hey there readers, we’re going to do this a bit differently. Instead of combining our thoughts into one, this review will still be a joint one except with separate thoughts. It’s a bit long but have fun and take 5-10 minutes to read.

After 1.5 years of hearing about Christina Aguilera’s next album and that month or two of thinking iamwhoiamami was her epic return, we finally got to hear the first offering in April. Briefly following the release of “Not Myself Tonight” the GaGa comparisons seemed endless but we remained neutral until we heard the album. After listening to Bionic we can assure everyone that this is all Christina Aguilera, experimenting of course, and even seeing and hearing a return to her dirrrty style.
Bionic
S: This bass bumping track was a perfect way to start off the album. This song is definitely something to just ease the seat back in your car and just groove to if you’re feeling a bit cocky… why not?
C: Couldn’t agree more, the John Hill & Switch production is THAT Santigold magic.
Not Myself Tonight
S: The first single of the album! It’s a great little ditty production by Polow Da Don and co-written by Ester Dean that has you okay with doing things you normally wouldn’t do. *Dirrty Alert*
C: When this song first leaked it had me hyped then after the hype, reality set in and I realized what was supposed to be a more alternative album quickly became mainstream fodder for the masses. N.M.T. is a hot but completely forgettable song.
Woohoo feat. Nicki Minaj
S: Who knew Nicki and Christina would have such good chemistry. The beat is fantastically made for all you booty poppers out there. It’s a fun sounding track equipped with hand clapping and the strategically place woohoo’s. *An album fave*
C: Really S, the track is tight but no way would I say this is the album’s shining light. I’m still mad that she resorted to Nicki Minaj. The song is good but at the same time they pulled a forced collab a la Beyoncé y Lady GaGa.
