Back To Basics
One of the most accomplished performers of the last decade, Christina Aguilera has sold well over 25 million albums worldwide and cultivated a fan base that crosses generational, racial and gender lines. Now, segueing from the audacious sexuality of her second studio album, Stripped, the chameleon-like performer pays tribute to the music that has inspired her with the August 15th release of Back To Basics (RCA Records).A modern take on vintage jazz, soul and blues from the 1920s, '30s, '40s and beyond, her third studio album is wildly inventive, whose throwback style creates a sound that's gritty and raw. The album reunites her with producer Linda Perry and offers new collaborations with producers such as DJ Premier. The upbeat first single, "Ain't No Other Man," will be world-premiered on the MTV Movie Awards on June 8 prior to its debut on June 12."This is a concept album that follows a bold vision," explains Aguilera. "The touchstones are Billie Holiday, Otis Redding, Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald what I used to call my 'fun music' when I was a little girl."
The double album, Back To Basics utilizes an orchestra, choir, string quartet and jazz horns, as well as techniques that, according to GQ, "blends a vintage-soul sound with state-of-the-art beatsmanship to form a throwback/hip-hop showcase for her outsize voice." "I Got Trouble" incorporates a scratchy blues feel, while "Candy Man" recalls the tight harmonies of all-girl groups from the '30s and '40s "Save Me From Myself" is an emotionally naked, raw-sounding song dedicated to her husband. "Thank You," dedicated to her fans, features DJ Premier splicing bits of "Genie In A Bottle" with fan voicemail messages. Also sure to appeal to Aguilera fans is the risqu�ong "Nasty Naughty Boy" (which has a '20s burlesque feel) and the sassy club track "Still Dirrty."
Aguilera's backstory is well-known. A native of Staten Island, the pre-teen began performing in local talent shows while growing up in Pennsylvania. In 1992, after appearing on "Star Search,"
She joined the cast of the Disney Channel's "The New Mickey Mouse Club." In 1998 Aguilera's song "Reflection" for Disney's Mulan led to a record deal with RCA and the release of her self-titled debut album in Summer, 1999. The album quickly hit #1 on the strength of its first dance/pop single, "Genie In A Bottle" (which dominated the charts for five weeks) and other chart toppers including "What A Girl Wants." It was a feat she would repeat the following year with Mi Reflejo, the smash Spanish-language version of her debut, followed by her hit holiday release, My Kind Of Christmas.
In 2001 Aguilera joined forces with Pink, Mya and Lil' Kim on the smash "Lady Marmalade" single and video. That eye-popping slice of ear candy kept her front and center in the international spotlight even as she began, slowly and steadily, to lay the groundwork for her second album, Stripped. Released in October 2002, it sealed her status as an international superstar while transforming her previous squeaky-clean image into a fully sexualized woman with lots on her mind. Along with the superheated funk of the album's provocative debut single, "Dirrty," came such standout tracks as "Beautiful," "Can't Hold Us Down" and "Make Over."
Earning her first of three Grammy Awards in 2000 for Best New Artist, her subsequent trophies came in 2001 for "Lady Marmalade" (Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals) and in 2003 for "Beautiful" (Best Female Pop Vocal Performance). Among countless other honors, she is also the recipient of a 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Mi Reflejo (Best Female Pop Vocal Album), a 2000 Billboard Music Award for Female Artist of the Year, and two 2004 Rolling Stone Music Awards (Best Female Performer, Readers' Pick; and Best Tour, Readers' Pick, "Justified and Stripped"). Voted Sexiest Teen Idol in a VH1 poll, Aguilera's beauty and charisma have also led Teen People to list her among its "25 Hottest Star3 Comments 350 weeks

CONFIRMED; KEEPS GETTING BETTER VIDEO DIRECTED BY PETERBERG!! Oh my god! according to RCA France & Laes, the video of ‘Keeps Gettin’ Better‘ was recorded at the end of September and was directed by Peter Berg, the Director of ‘Hancock‘. This is going to be awesome.
KEEPS GETTING BETTER MUSIC VIDEO NOT FINISHED BUT STILL BRILLIANT!!!!! There’s been some debate about whether or not there will be a video for Christina Aguilera’s new single, ‘Keeps Gettin’ Better’, but we saw a rough cut of the video yesterday so there will definitely be one. The video’s not finished yet but there’s still well over one week before the single’s released so there’s plenty of time. In the edit we saw there was still a lot of green screen business waiting to having excitement thrown on top of it but the ‘concept’ of the video finds Christina by herself in an empty room. She is at a massive edit suite pressing various amazing flashing buttons. She is - and this viewers of a videographic wheel within a videographic wheel - editing her own video. Best bits: » Christina as Catwoman » Christina in a top MADE OUT OF A GLITTER BALL » Christina riding a massive chopper*
CHRISTINA AGUILERA KYIV CONCERT REVIEW Christina Aguilera’s show was an event not to be missed. That’s why I was surprised to see no big crowds in front of Palats Sportu shortly before the concert was supposed to begin on Oct. 21. Inside the situation was similar. The concert hall was quite empty. Even though some of the viewers might have chosen to miss the opening act, knowing that the concert would likely begin an hour after its scheduled 7:30 p.m. start, the place still looked too deserted. After all, the organizers added another show to the program for a good reason: they envisioned a huge demand for tickets at Palats Ukraina. And it was indeed the first time that an internationally popular artist was going to play not one, but two concerts in this ci
