Spotlight News: "Bionic" Album Release

Christina Aguilera
"BIONIC"





I have always been a huge fan of the lovely Christina. Her sound has grown so much over the years and she has quickly become one of the most notable voices of our generation. Though I was never really a big fan of her first album but was totally in love with "Stripped" and even more obsessed with "Back To The Basics". She has always been so beautiful in my eyes and these new photo's of her just seal the deal.

There is a rather delightful story about her and the new album "Bionic" on OUT Magazine which is rather insightful and gives a little bit of history on her as well as the scoop on the new album. There were a lot of facts and information about her that I wasn't really familiar with. After reading the entry I was actually more stoked than I already was about hearing the new album.

"Bionic does not logically follow from her last album or the one before that. From pop tart to Angry Young Woman (Stripped) to Marilyn Monroe (Back to Basics), the sequence of Aguilera’s sound is as wild as the wind. Her voice is a mercenary, one of the perks -- and pitfalls -- of being a versatile medium. “Every album has been a 180 from the past,” she admits. “On Bionic, I wanted to go completely futuristic. As a new mother, I was thinking about the future generation, so I was inspired a lot by electronic music.” When she began the album, Aguilera put out a call to artists whose work she found simpatico, an unexpected cavalcade including underground faves Le Tigre, Goldfrapp, and Ladytron. “It’s a gamble,” Aguilera says of the cattle call. “You never really know who’s going to get it and who’s not.”

That's is an insert from the article that was extremely enlightening and I wanted to share with you. I am totally looking forward to hearing the collaboration she has done with LADYTRON. There are a few of her songs that I have listened to back in the day, definitely going to be interesting to see how the two come together. To read the whole article click the link below. ENJOY!!
