Xtina's lotus is slated to rise again with the help of Nile Rodgers upon next week's release of the soundtrack for Netflix's The Get Down, where this is included.
Yeah, this isn't game changing (wouldn't expect that from a soundtrack song) but it's not bad at all. And "not bad" from Xtina is a step in the right direction. If she could further explore this sound and really nail it, she'd win over a lot of people.
It's nice to hear someone sing a Sia song without sounding like they're mimicking her. I can hear that it's her now that it's been pointed out but wouldn't have realized it without being told.
“Telepathy,” a simple love song made grander through an arrangement of horns and strings, is one of Christina Aguilera’s best performances in recent years. The vocal is restrained by her standards, but it still comes through strong and measured—guided by the incomparable Nile Rodgers.
I'm super excited because this trumps 90% of the material on Lotus. This is a great representation of the Disco aspect of the soundtrack and series. I can hear Cadillac from Miguel being a single too along with Losing Your Mind from Raury & Jaden Smith.

They are using this in about 75% of the promotional material for the show. I've seen tweets from The Get Down mentioning her, television commercials with this being the sole featured song, and on-line ads as well.
Well, even though I don't think this will be a big hit, I don't see anything wrong with giving this full single treatment. It'd be a nice way to put her name out there again and build some kind of anticipation for her actual lead single whenever it comes out.

I like this, but doubt it will do anything. But, at this point, I just want her releasing not terrible music. I have zero expectations for a mainstream return lol. This sounds mean, but comes from a place of love.
