Christina Aguilera – Stripped

Vinyl 2 LP.

Christina Aguilera's second album, 2002's “Stripped,” is dripping in sexuality, from the topless photo on the gatefold cover to the proactive lyrics set to lusty R&B rhythms. More than mere titillation for it's own sake, Aguilera's album harnesses her vocal prowess showing great mastery over her self-titled freshman release. The hit single “Beautiful” rocketed up to a peak spot of #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, while also earning her a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The album spawned 4 more hits in “Can't Hold Us Down,” “Fighter,” “The Voice Within” and “Dirrtty.” A slew of guest appearances and production work includes Redman, Lil' Kim, Alicia Keys, Eve and Steve Morales. With 20 tracks filling a CD, this original vinyl pressing was forced onto 2 LPs.
