Why We Rated This on for Ages 14 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Lots of playful flirtation throughout.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    A lot of innuendo. Only explicit in a couple of instances with lyrics: "Sip on my champagne/cause I'm gonna give you a little taste/of the sugar below my waist," on the track "Nasty Naughty Boy." And the song "Candyman" describes a "one-stop shop" that "makes the panties drop."

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Includes a couple of references to drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Back to Basics (Double CD)

Parents need to know that there is a lot of sexual innuendo on this album, as well as some pretty steamy photos in the CD insert. But it's all delivered with a wink and a smile.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the interesting phenomenon of young performers paying tribute to musical forms that have been around awhile. Is Christina's voice better suited for the pop music she's known for performing, or the jazzy, bluesy, classic sound she's going for here?
