Rated Flashback - Back to Basics

If I had started this blog back in 2006 I would definitely have posted a review of this album. Following the sexually charged beauty of an album Stripped, Christina Aguilera showed how dynamic an artist she was by completely overhauling her image and sending herself back in time to write an album that was like nothing else in the charts at the time. Voice on point as per usual, production reaching epic proportions and some incredibly perfect pop moments, Back To Basics was the album that got me interested in soul music and now I've got a 6 year relationship with the genre. Thanks Chrissy.

Best Tracks: 'Makes Me Wanna Pray', 'Ain't No Other Man', 'Candyman', 'Slow Down Baby', 'Here to Stay', 'Mercy On Me', 'Hurt'
