After a while away from the scene (her short lived Greatest Hits project aside), Christina Aguilera is prepping her fourth studio album for release in September. The project, according to HMV, is titled ‘Light & Darkness’. Mother of one Aguilera has worked with with DJ Premier (‘Ain’t No Other Man’), Linda Perry (‘Beautiful’), Tricky Stewart (‘Umbrella’, ‘Single Ladies’), among others, on the record.
Word has it the visual theme for the album will be ‘High Fashion’ inspired, with a fusion of Andy Warhol and contemporary styles
Sounds real promising. I’m really hoping this is better than ‘Back to Basics’ – which IMO was contrived mess. Xtina would be much better off NOT trying to be the next Madonna and making such a conscious effort to drastically switch up her style and sound with every record -it’s just not necessary. She seriously dropped the ball with ‘Back to Basics’ after the near-flawless ‘Stripped’ LP. For her sake, she needs to pick it up big-time, this go round.
Your thoughts?
