MI REFLEJO
Christina Aguilera
(RCA / BMG)
Anybody out there know the Spanish word for "cash-grab?" How about the translation of "jumping on the bandwagon?" 'Cause those are about the two nicest things we can say about the shameful silliness of Christina Aguilera's new Spanish-language album. And it's not just because the part-Ecuadoran singer reportedly had to take Spanish lessons and then sing these tracks phonetically. Or that she re-recorded Genie in a Bottle and other hits from her debut album instead of taking a chance on all-new material. No, it's because for someone who is supposedly eager to reconnect with her Latin heritage, Aguilera has produced an album that is about as spicy as an oatmeal burrito. Aside from some antiseptic acoustic guitars and the slickest salsa money can buy, Mi Reflejo is just another typically overproduced piece of soul-pop pap by a gal who continues to squander her undeniable vocal talents on substandard material. Skip the Spanish lessons and sign up for music appreciation 101, girlfriend.
