Music review: 'Stripped'
Christina Aguilera (RCA)
She may be 21 now, but Christina Aguilera seems to be playing dress-up on the follow-up to her 8 million-selling 1999 debut. On this sprawling set, the singer tries on pop-rock, hip hop, R&B, Latin, heavy metal, jazz, gospel, even a bit of classical.
In attempting to be all things to all people, though, Aguilera fails to bare her own personality on "Stripped." (Overly long at nearly 78 minutes, the disc could have also used some major paring down.)
Even so, give Aguilera points for stretching out from her teen-pop past, although she tries too hard to be sexy on cuts like "Dirrty." With her powerhouse pipes, she emphatically belts out the head-banger "Fighter" (featuring former Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro).
But it's "Impossible" -- a retro-soul ballad written and produced by Alicia Keys, who also plays piano and sings backup -- that truly reveals Aguilera's artistic possibilities.
Bottom line: Blonde overambition yields mixed results |
