Lotus is definitely not bad, it might be not as good as her other albums (in terms of production and Xtina dedication) but it's definitely not worse than the average pop album of the last decade. The problem here is clearly the production in some songs, Xtina's vocals weren't the best and above all Christina's laziness or maybe self-sabotage for whatever reason (did she fight with RCA?). She promised a tour, we got nada. They announced Just a Fool as the next single, pushed it with 2 live performances, it sold well and was well received by the general public (100M views for the unofficial video).... then RCA pulled the plug and Xtina moved on, not even a music video.

Sing for Me was the worst track of the album.

My highlights:

1. Your Body
2. Blank Page
3. Red Hot Kinda Love
4. Let There Be Love
5. Empty Words

I love CIrcles and Shut Up because they are unapologetically troll songs but i don't take them seriously.

Light Up the Sky is another song i love but the lazy production makes it difficult to listen to.

I think this album had potential, I really wanna know what happened and they pulled the plug even though Christina had The Voice to promote as a platform. Plus, Your Body never got a live performance (she even preferred to perform Lotus Intro, Army of Me and a little bit of Let There be Love on AMAs which was a disaster).
