Christina Aguilera - A Decade of Hits (Album Review)

My first album review! (and it's barely even an album, but oh well).

Christina Aguilera is releasing her greatest hits album, Keeps Gettin' Better - A Decade of Hits, on November 11. The album of course features the majority of Christina's singles, including three of her four number one singles ("Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", and "Come On Over").

It also features her hits "Dirrty", "Beautiful", "Ain't No Other Man", and current single "Keeps Gettin' Better" among others.

Also, Christina has of course added some new material. Besides "Keeps Gettin' Better", she recorded one completely new song, "Dynamite". This song is in the same dance/pop style of her single, but doesn't have quite the same catch. It's a little bland and probably wasn't needed for inclusion.

Christina also rerecorded two previous hits: "Genie in a Bottle" and "Beautiful". The first one's rerecording, "Genie 2.0", was premiered at this year's VMA's and is definitely worth listening to (it's pretty catchy). "You Are What You Are (Beautiful)" is OK. It sounds ethereal and is interesting, but isn't great.

Christina certainly has had hits and this album demonstrates it. Although she left off some of my favorite songs ("Can't Hold Us Down", "Reflection", "Lady Marmalade", and "Genio Atrapado"), Aguilera has a great greatest hits album that is definitely worth picking up (although only available at Target).

Grade: B+
