Christina Aguilea is back to basics

Christina herself confirmed that the album will be

out on Spring/2006



"I feel like I've been pregnant for 18 months!" says Aguilera of how long it has taken her to finish the follow up to 2002's Stripped. Aguilera sees this disk a modern apdate of the vintage jazz, pop and R&B she loved as a kid - artist from Billie Holiday to Otis Redding. Working at Chalice Studios in Los Angeles with beatmakers including DJ Premier and Mark Ronson, she went for a "throwback style using horn samples so it sounds gritty and old", she says. "But we´ve been able to splice into something that people can still dance to in the clubs".

Aguilera also teamed up with Linda Perry, her collaborator on Stripped. "We dove headfirst into a Tweenties and Thirties era vibe", Aguilera says. "We have a song that sounds like you walked into a 1920's burlesque club".

BACK IN THE DAY
produced by DJ Premier (fast song, homage to soul artists from back in the day, Christina wants to be her 2nd or third single).

UNDERSTANDING
produced by Kwam, who decribed it as a ballad that will remind people those old blues songs

THANK YOU
produced by DJ Premier (Features Genie In A Bottle A Capella turned into a scratch intro opera as the intro to the actual song!). This song also features fan' s voice mail messages and was mention on one article by the name "Thank You (Dedications to Fans)"

AINT NO OTHER MAN
by DJ Premier. First song that have a 2 minutes clip leaked. The song is almost sure to be confirmed as the first single.

SAVE ME FROM MYSELF
She mentions it on OK! Magazine (After the Wedding Special issue) as being a song dedicated to Jordan, saying the song' s tittle is that because this is exactly what he does to her.

Not only "Save Me From Myself" was confirmed today, but it was also registered on ASCAP with a lot of other songs she wrote with Linda Perry!. Remember that the tittles might change and some songs from the previous records are still with their registration name on ASCAP even tho the final release had something different.

Christina played a small clip of Candy Man on MTV's TRL Awards. The song is fast and she described it as the happiest, fun song of the record. She also said that is very 50's inspired and you can almost imagine those pin-up stars singing this song with little sailors outfit (personal note: lol). Some say that the song samples Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. (A song by the Andrew Sisters in 1941).

TROUBLE
She did this song with Linda Perry. She said she wanted to capture the old school feeling and bad-quality the old records had, so she recorded the song with a piece of cloth in front of the microphone.

BACK TO BASICS
It was played on MTV Overdrive a little clip with lyrics that mentions "Back to Basics". It can be a real song, or an intro/interlude, as it features the possible album´s name.

Also, this is how Christina describes one of the Linda Perry songs:
''We did a song with a 30-piece string section and [just] my voice". She also told US Weekly that she took off her 4 Grammys (one Spanish) from the shelves so she wont be reminded of her past success while recording this CD.

looks like xtina got rid of her drrrty girl look. i'm kinda sad to see it go. honestly, i've never really been a big fan of hers, but from what i just read, this album sounds really interesting. i like the idea of jazz/50's sound...i'll be looking forward to hearing what it sounds like.

I really like her new look, but I have a feeling that her stuff are gonna be either boring or just plain bland. Her latest song like "A Song For You" was just, not interesting and catchy. I do hope the album is great though. But I don't listen to songs except for Japanese songs so...

Thats what I thought too.

Thanks for the info.

On a side note: my ava/sig privileges are suspended because I used a Christina pic in my signature. Apparently it "contained nudity" and was "too offensive". It was the rollingstone cover she did a few years back... did you guys see it?

me too...I have the same feeling about this album, based on the info
it looks like many of the elements from "Stripped" will be gone and I still think
that was her best release.

I love Christina Aguilera's Stripped album, so I hope she hasn't changed her style too much

has anyone seen the new pepsi ad? its got Christina an an arabic singer Elissa, and Christina's singing one of her new songs "Here to Stay" -- it sounds pretty good and Christina looks amazing!

Not a huge fan, and I do think the lipstick is too red, and the hair is too light, but I do think she has a lovely voice. Stripped was an okay album...but I do love "Beautiful".

Well, good for her XD
