Subtlety not being part of Christina Aguilera’s vocabulary, she trades the retro-swing of Back to Basics for the future-pop of Bionic, receiving assists from a roster that reads like a who’s-who of progressive pop in 2010: M.I.A., Le Tigre, Peaches, and John Hill & Switch, known for their work with Santigold. But like the half-cyborg/half-diva illustration of the album cover, this revamp is only partial. Aguilera hedges her bets by adding a ballad from old friend Linda Perry, gets Tricky Stewart to produce a trio of cuts, drafts Polow da Don and Focus… to produce some heavy and slow R&B, respectively, letting enough air into the machines to reassure hesitant fans that she hasn’t abandoned her roots. All this hesitancy means that for as many risks as it takes, Bionic doesn’t feel daring. Apart from the stuttering opener of the title track and glassy chill of “Elastic Love,” notably the two Hill & Switch productions, this never delivers the future shock it promises, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, because the robot-diva hybrids are often interesting even when they stumble, as they do on “WooHoo,” its incessant title loop piercing like a dental drill. Exhibit A in Xtina’s curious tin ear for sex, “WooHoo” doesn’t work as temptation, not when the chorus come-on is “licky licky yum yum,” but her crassness is no longer alienating as it was on Stripped; it’s simply part of her persona, just like her shameless narcissism, showcased on the closing “Vanity,” where she gets her kid to confirm that she’s the greatest of them all. This triumphant self-possession comes so naturally to Christina that it’s hard not to wish that she acted so boldly throughout Bionic, letting the entirety of the record be as distinctly odd as its best moments. Frankly, the deluxe edition of Bionic does suggest what the album could have been: it’s supplemented by four bonus songs that are wildly imaginative, whether it’s the clattering, chanting “Bobblehead,” the cool synth glide of “Birds of Prey,” the perfect new wave pop of “Monday Morning,” or Sia’s mournful ballad “Stronger Than Ever.” In their place on the album proper are competent, relatively colorless club odes to fashion and fabulousness and Perry’s boring inspirational “Lift Me Up,” songs that play to Aguilera’s persona without inhabiting it. The rest of Bionic -- not just the hipster flirtations and Sia’s trio of richly ruminative AAA ballads, but the tracks directly within Aguilera’s wheelhouse, like Tricky Stewart’s wildly successful, slinky “Desnudate,” and the sultry slow burner “Sex for Breakfast” -- find Christina not playing to expectations but simply acting as a natural diva and is all the more compelling for it. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

New content featured was recorded and produced with Linda Perry. During the production of the compilation album Aguilera stated that the Superhero theme was a recurring one for the new material. She also stated that the new material was a preview of what was to come with a future studio album, the lead single "Keeps Gettin' Better" featured electropop and dance-pop themes which was recurring in her following studio album release, Bionic (2010).

The album has sold a total of 440,000 copies in the United States and almost 1 million worldwide.

Keeps Gettin' Better − A Decade of Hits to składanka z największymi przebojami amerykańskiej piosenkarki Christiny Aguilery. Na płycie znalazły się piosenki z albumów: Christina Aguilera (z 1999 roku), Stripped (2002) i Back to Basics (2006), a także dwa nowe utwory: przebojowe "Keeps Gettin' Better" i "Dynamite". Premiera albumu miała miejsce w pierwszej połowie listopada 2008.

Na wydaniu ogólnoświatowym krążka znalazły się wszystkie cztery z singli Aguilery, które osiągnęły pozycję #1 notowania Billboard Hot 100: debiutancki "Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", "Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" oraz "Lady Marmalade", nagrany wspólnie z Lil' Kim, Mýą i Pink. Ostatni z utworów nie został uwzględniony na edycji amerykańskiej. Dwa największe przeboje artystki, "Genie in a Bottle" i "Beautiful", zostały zawarte na albumie podwójnie − w wersji oryginalnej oraz jako remiks, nagrany przez Aguilerę specjalnie na składankę. "Genie 2.0" to piosenka o typowo popowej melodii; wokalistka zaprezentowała ją w trakcie 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. "You Are What You Are (Beautiful)" jest utworem zrealizowanym w konwencji muzyki elektronicznej, zwiastującym następny, wydany w 2010 album Aguilery. Na składance znalazły się ponadto dwie zupełnie nowe kompozycje: tytułowe "Keeps Gettin' Better" oraz "Dynamite". Oba są piosenkami electropopowymi, oba także wydano jako single. Sprzedano ponad milion egzemplarzy albumu na całym świecie.

Stars like Christina Aguilera aren't supposed to fall. The status of multi-platinum A-lister comes with an in-built positive feedback mechanism. Success, at this level, tends to maintain. A team ensures your singles sound like hits while fans buy into a star and are reluctant to disinvest because that implies their own taste wasn't trustworthy to begin with. Nevertheless, Aguilera took a big knock with her last album, Bionic (2010). It probably sold around half a million copies worldwide (a big flop, in pop money). Blogs still rage about whether Bionic was too brave, featuring as it did collaborations with riot grrl veterans Le Tigre, or whether the record company dropped the ball. It was the tipping point for an annus horribilis. Aguilera got divorced, released a flop film, Burlesque, over-sang the Star-Spangled Banner at the 2011 Super Bowl, was arrested for being drunk in public, and acquired hips.

In pop terms, all this now makes the 31-year-old mother of one a Survivor, and that, in turn, allows her to dip freely into the righteousness narrative of older female stars who've been divorced, abused or addicted. Tenacity and rebirth are themes telegraphed hard on Lotus. Nothing to do with the luxury sports car – apparently the lotus is an "unbreakable flower that withstands any harsh weather conditions… and remains beautiful and strong". This is wiffle of the highest order. But one of the pleasures of Aguilera is that she can use polysyllables, even when talking the rot that fills women's mags. Her ex (we presume) is the target on at least a couple of tracks, which serve up divorce two ways, devilled and fried. Uptempo thumper Army of Me shares emotional territory with the Björk song of the same name and Aguilera's old hit, Fighter. Aguilera may be in pieces but all those bits have Uzis. Circles enjoins some dude to swivel on her middle finger. The sing-song verse is redolent of Rihanna but you can forgive a lot when there's a line as zingy as "Why you always tryna be up in my mixture?/ Cos I'm freaky fly fresh/ And you just bitter."

Elsewhere Aguilera tries hard to soothe the horses. Most of the uptempo tracks follow production trends closely and then drop an ecstatic Aguilerean ululation on top. You can see straight through them but they work. There's more Rihanna-copping, for instance, on Around the World, a come-hither tune that also quotes from Aguilera and co's cover of Lady Marmalade (Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa, Pink), from a time when she could put no stiletto wrong.

Aguilera's stock is not at rock bottom. She is a judge on the successful US version of The Voice. She guested on Maroon 5's inescapable hit Moves Like Jagger; TV co-stars like Cee-Lo Green are on board here too, for tracks such as Make the World Move.The only risks are taken on the introductory bagatelle, where multiple, chorusing Aguileras coo and bass booms. She's pulled in writers such as Max Martin (Britney Spears) for insurance on tracks like the first single Your Body (but, ironically, it didn't chart particularly well). The album's midpoint rave banger, Let There Be Love, is about as formulaic as club pop gets. But it resonates effectively, like much else here; every throb and ooh in the right place.--Kitty Empire, guardian.co.uk
