So I just started a discography reaction of Christina Aguilera recently, and let me tell you that Stripped is an amazing album. I love the diverse musical direction, the attitude, and of course the vocals.

Like with most of these posts I do, here are five tracks that particularly stood out to me:

Walk Away :gaycat:

Fighter :firega:

Loving Me 4 Me

Get Mine, Get Yours :pole:

I'm OK

Other great songs are Beautiful, Can't Hold Us Down, Impossible, etc.

The maturity she displayed in these songs at such a young age is un-matched compared to her contemporaries at the time. Even today, it's rare to find a singer of that age that could project such an adult sound when they've not long entered adulthood. These days, it takes a singer until they're about 25, or maybe marriage and/or a child to truly show growth with their work but Christina was doing the damn thing in her early 20's just after a bubblegum pop debut at that. Walk Away, Fighter, Soar, Get Mine Get Yours and I'm OK remain my ultimate favourites. I'm so glad to see that the lacklustre critical reception it got upon initial release (55 on MC, wtf?) has since been reevaluated (it would have a score in the 80's at least by today's standards). I think making Liberation in 2018 was the closest she came to doing a Stripped Part 2 and let's not pretend that all her fans are desperate for that.

This album is legendary, it's still inspiring so many artists today. My top 7 has to be Dirrty, Beautiful, Cruz, I'm OK, Get Mine, Get Yours , Impossible and The Voice Within In, i love the diversity of the tracks and how they each tell a story similar to BTW.

I love the whole aesthetic for the era and how she went against the grain, taking control of her image and who she really is.

One of my all-time fave albums, tbh! Pop perfection. Xtina is a legend.
