Sobre el álbum

La discografía de Christina Aguilera presenta con este álbum de 2002 su obra más importante, un monumental acto de reinvención que la transformó de una estrella del pop adolescente a una artista adulta, compleja y con una voz propia. 'Stripped' es mucho más que un disco; es una declaración de independencia, un manifiesto feminista y una catarsis personal. Christina Aguilera se despoja, como su título indica, de la imagen prefabricada de su debut para mostrarse sin filtros.

Para lograrlo, la artista toma el control creativo total. Se involucra en la composición de casi todas las canciones y colabora con un ecléctico grupo de productores y músicos, desde el rockero Linda Perry hasta el productor de hip-hop Scott Storch. Como resultado, el álbum es un viaje sonoro increíblemente diverso, que abarca el R&B, el soul, el pop-rock, el hip-hop, la balada góspel e incluso el tango.

Esta ambición musical, sin embargo, sirve a un propósito mayor: explorar todas las facetas de su nueva identidad. La era "Xtina" se presenta con una sexualidad desafiante y sin complejos en el icónico y controvertido primer sencillo, "Dirrty". Este tema, con su vídeo explícito, fue un shock para el sistema pop, pero un poderoso acto de autoafirmación.

El álbum contiene la que es, posiblemente, su canción más universal y perdurable: "Beautiful". Esta balada, escrita por Linda Perry, es un himno de autoaceptación que se convirtió en un refugio para millones de personas en todo el mundo. Su mensaje de encontrar la belleza interior trascendió la música para convertirse en un fenómeno cultural.

El disco está repleto de otras piezas maestras. "Fighter" es un himno de rock sobre cómo la adversidad te hace más fuerte, mientras que "Can't Hold Us Down", con la rapera Lil' Kim, es una contundente denuncia del doble rasero sexista en la industria musical. La voz de Christina Aguilera se libera de cualquier contención, mostrando un poder, un rango y una versatilidad que dejaron claro que era una de las más grandes vocalistas de su generación.

'Stripped' es una obra cumbre del pop del siglo XXI. Es un álbum valiente, honesto y artísticamente triunfal que, pese a la controversia inicial, ha sido reivindicado por el tiempo como un clásico. Su influencia en generaciones posteriores de artistas pop que han querido tomar el control de su propia narrativa es, sencillamente, incalculable.

    Letra

    What do you do when you know something's bad for you And you still can't let go? I was naïve Your love was like candy Artificially sweet I was deceived by the wrapping Got caught in your web And I learned how to plead I was prey in your bed And devoured completely And it hurts my soul Cos I can't let go All these walls are caving in I can't stop my suffering I hate to show that I've lost control Cos I, I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away I should have known I was used for amusement Couldn't see through the smoke It was all an illusion Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds) But the venom seeps deeper (deeper, deeper) We both can subduce But Darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner) I'm about to break I can't stop this ache I'm addicted to your allure And I'm fiending for a cure Every step I take Leads to one mistake I keep going right back To the one thing that I need... I'm about to break and I can't stop this ache, getting nothing in return What did I do to deserve The pain of this slow burn And everywhere I turn I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away Everytime I try to grasp for air I get smothered in despair, it's never over, over Seems I never wake from this nightmare I let out a silent prayer, let it be over, over Inside I'm screaming Begging, pleading no more Ahh... Now what to do, My heart has been bruised So sad but it's true Each beat reminds me of you It hurts my soul Cos I can't let go All these walls are caving in I can't stop my suffering I hate to show that I've lost control Cos I, I keep going right back To the one thing that I need... I'm about to break I can't stop this ache I'm addicted to your lure And I'm feening for a cure Every step I take Leads to one mistake I keep going right back To the one thing that I need... I can't mend This torn state I'm in Getting nothing in return What did I do to deserve The pain of this slow burn And everywhere I turn I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from I say... I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away Only thing I need to do is walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away

  5. Primer Amor Interlude0:53

    Letra

    Yo te contare una historia De como un puerto riqueno me robo el corazon Nunca mas he vuelto a amar de esa manera Quizas jamas lo hare Es la historia de mi primer amor Era buen mozo con grandes y profundos ojos marrones Un bailarin Juntos nos perdimos en el ritmo del amor Asi es como comenzo
  6. Infatuation4:17

    Letra

    He comes from a foreign place An island far away Intrigues me with every move Til I'm breathless, I'm helpless Can't keep my cool Steals my heart when he takes my hand And we dance to the rhythm of the band Feel his fingertips grip my hips And I slip as we dip into a state of bliss Mama used to warn me to beware those latin lovers Said I gave my heart too soon And that's how I became your mother Said ay mama, you seem to forget I'm not in love yet Sweet talk don't win me over But I realize Big brown eyes can hypnotize When he says I am full blood boricua Read the tattoo on his arm He tells me "Mami, I need ya!" And my heartbeat pumps so strong Getting lost in a ritmo He whispers "Te quiero" Te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation Can't help my infatuation It's pure infatuation Skin the color of cinnamon His eyes light up And I melt within Feels so good it must be a sin I can't stop what I started I'm giving in He brings life to my fantasies Sparks a passion inside of me Finds the words when I cannot speak In the silence, his heartbeat is music to me Mama used to warn me not to rush love with another Said I'm not trying to lecture I just care about my daughter Ay mama, you seem to forget I never would let A man control my emotions But When he smiles I feel like a little child When he says I am full blood boricua Read the tattoo on his arm He tells me "Mami, I need ya!" And my heartbeat pumps so strong Getting lost in a ritmo He whispers "Te quiero" Te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation Can't help my infatuation It's pure my infatuation Caught between my mother's words And what I feel inside Wanting to explore his world But part of me wants to hide Should I risk it Can't resist it This has caught me by surprise Should I let him take me to Puerto Rico I can't hold back no more Let's go tonight I am full blood boricua Read the tattoo on his arm He tells me "Mami, I need ya!" And my heartbeat pumps so strong Getting lost in a ritmo He whispers "Te quiero" Te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation Can't help my infatuation It's pure infatuation Can't help my infatuation It's pure infatuation (Infatuation)

  10. Underappreciated4:00

    Letra

    I remember when it all first began We were tight right from the start It wasn't long before you came on strong Trying hard to win my heart I played hard to get but I couldn't help But give up my heart in the end You were thoughtful Careful not to hurt the relationship What happened to those days when You used to be compassionate Caring what I thought and said So attentive a gentleman Now it's hard to turn your head away from the tv set Taking me for granted lately and Frankly, it's gotta quit I feel underappreciated Now girls help me out If you know what I'm talking about I said I'm feeling Underappreciated For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment Lets take it back again to the very beginning When our love was something new Back when romance was important Not just another thing to do I was feeling high on loves delight Thought I'd never come back down Now it seems that you and me Have lost our solid ground After time I realized I seem to give more than I get Funny how things seem to change After a few years commitment Used to talk for hours on end Of our dreams while we lay in bed I miss those days when you stayed awake Now you roll over and snore instead I feel underappreciated Now girls help me out If you know what I'm talking about, I said I'm feeling underappreciated For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment I miss the nice massages The long phone calls And the way you talked How it'd turned me on Miss the bubble baths Had the sweetest laughs I'm needin those days back I feel underappreciated Now girls help me out If you know what I'm talking about I said I'm feeling underappreciated For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment (repeat)

    Letra

    When they push when they pull, tell me can you hold on When they say you should change can you lift your head high and stay strong Will you give up, give in, when your heart's crying out that it's wrong Will you love you for you at the end of it all Now, in life, there's gonna be times when you're feeling low And in your mind insecurity seems to take control We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval We keep forgettin' that the one thing we should know is Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar The boy who wonders is he good enough for them He's tryin' to please 'em all but he just never seems to fit in Then there's the girl who thinks she'll never ever be good enough for him She's tryin' to change and that's a game she'll never win In life there's gonna be times when you're feeling low And in your mind insecurity seems to take control We start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval We keep forgettin' that the one thing we should know is Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar In the mirror is where she comes face to face with her fears Her own reflection, now foreign to her after all these years All of her life she has tried to be something besides herself Now time has passed and she's ended up someone else with regret What is it in us that makes us feel the need to keep pretending Gotta let ourselves be Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar Don't wait, no more Spread your wings and soar Don't wait, no more You can soar So What you waiting for? ... Don't wait... ... Whoa!... ... Don't wait, no more... ... Don't wait... ... Don't Wait...
