Christina dropped a greatest his package this week and I'm lovin the new tracks. While I have always enjoyed Christina's songs in a general way, her albums tended to not get a lot of play time on my iPod because she tends to over sing every thing. But on the few new songs on her greatest hits she seems a lot more in control over her powerhouse vocals and to have dropped her flight of the bumblebee vocal style.The last 4 tracks of the album, two new and two new interpretations of old songs, are perfect pieces of high end style pop. They work great on the dance floor with her vocals more layered and less belting. "You Are What You Are (Beautiful)" is Goldfrapp-esque reworking of her hit "Beautiful" is elegant with layers of synths and one of the highlights for me.
The two new tracks, "Keeps Gettin Better" and "Dynamite" are also fun slices of high energy dance pop. Hopefully this is the direction of her new album. While Christina has gotten flack lately for her similarity's in style to the genius of Lady GaGa, I will not hate on the girl. Originality in Pop never truly existed and people who appear to be original are just good con-artist.
