Tricky Stewart Discusses New Christina Aguilera Album

christina_aguilera_promo_rocket_2_big

In a recent interview with VIBE magazine, monster producer Tricky Stewart discussed several of his past and upcoming projects as well as his creative process. The ‘Single Ladies’ producer also elaborated on the direction that Pop star Christina Aguilera will be taking with her new album. Peep an excerpt from the interview below:

How did you approach working with Christina Aguilera versus R&B artists?

With Christina it’s a little different, because Christina wants music that you haven’t heard before. She did things that she’s never necessarily heard on the radio. She doesn’t want a record that sounds like anything else so you’re trying to create an entirely new sound for an artist. The three tracks that I did, they’re all uptempo tracks so we definitely kind of get the club moving but it’s just a matter of her doing different styles and using her voice in different ways. {Source}

This is some interesting news. Many would argue Christina has never been the type of artist to provide original content. Most of the material that she has put forward has followed the direction that acts such as Mariah Carey, Madonna and even Britney Spears did before her. Nonetheless, given the amount of mystery that has been surrounding this project, I would be lying to myself I said that I was not quite intrigued.

Thoughts?

    AGUILERA is very original.
    She’s creating her own path like madonna or janet with a theme album every time and she takes time to create , always 3 or 4 years in between albums…

    she’s smart and talented
    her voice is amazing.

    She may be compared to MAdonna tough (BACK 2 BASICS = I’M BREATHLESS D*** Tracy) and to Janet Jackson (STRIPPED = THE VELVET ROPE)

    On the other hand, neither MARIAH CAREY nor that poor little BRITNEY SPEARS are close to Aguilera interms of quality album with a real theme, a real artistic direction…

    When has Christina followed into either Mariah or Britney footsteps musically?? maybe with her first album, but since stripped she’s been doing her own thing.. I can’t see any girl in this industry who could of pulled off a album like Back to Basics.. She’s a mega talent, defiantly the best vocalist of this generation, can’t wait to see what she delivers.

    As a Britney fan, when Sam says Christina followed Britney’s footsteps, I would assume he’s referring too Christina’s first album. Both we very “poppish” albums. Both Britney’s and Christina’s first album very very poppish. After that album, I never saw Christina follow Britney’s footsteps musically.

    As to “MEDIACANNIBLE”, this is in regards to your comment about Britney has never had a quality album. LMFAO!!!! 3 WORDS FOR YOU “In The Zone”. As a Britney fan…… “In The Zone’ is he BEST album musically, artistically and it has depth. I dunno if you ever heard the album and I dunno if you looked at the credits of that album, but she put ALOT more effort in the album then she has done any other album she has released. But hey, that’s your opinion and I don’t have to agree with it but this is mines. 🙂

    Definitely the best vocalist of this generation, get this b****** please

  5. Lulu December 8, 2009

    i read once on another website tht Lady Gaga had snatched Christinas crown,id say they are different but when i first heard ‘just dance’ i thought it was Christina..i didnt like her last album or single but she has a great voice..seems stuck up tho but i think there is still room for her..but nowadays its all about Beyonce,Gaga and Rihanna all other females really need to step up…its not just abt being able to sing. Maybe her n Gaga can do a duet plus they kinda look alike,it would be like Beyonce n Shakira in A Beautiful Liar.
    ps:Christina did diss Lady Gaga when she was coming up and not many ppl knew her yet,bet she feels silly now.

  6. Prince December 8, 2009

    I love Christina’s powerful singing voice. Christina would win a couple of vocal battles against Beyonce…Christina wont win them all! I don’t think she would win all vocal battles against Leona Lewis either… Im soo ready 2 c what new stuff Christina will deliver 2 the game!

  7. FeDDe December 8, 2009

    Im so excited thats she is finally coming back. I really miss her in the music industry. I cant wait to hear the new music.

  8. Tobby December 8, 2009

    Mariah Carey is the best vocalist of the last 20 years. She took Whitney Houston’s crown and so far no one has managed to take hers. Listen to “H.A.T.E. U.” off her new album “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” and tell me Christina could sing with that much range…

  9. parisian girl December 8, 2009

    @MEDIACANNIBALE you betta keep it CUTE on britney!!!
    i can’t believe you called her”a poor little thing”!!b**** please BLACKOUT and IN THE ZONE own her whole discography!pff you sound like a poor delusional hater who is mad because his fave can’t get a top500 anymore!
    you can go sit down in the corner where you belong and shut up when u don’t know what u talking about,bish boo bye!

  10. lisa December 8, 2009

    umm sam what are you talking about her work sounds ike mariah britney your bugging dude you obviously dont do your home work or listened to her full album cuz shes as original as they come. she music of tomorrow to bad your jsut way behind sam please catch up before witting this type of trash!

  11. caroline December 8, 2009

    whatever, no matter how much christina trys, even though she’s a better singer, britney still outsells her i’m sure that hurts her inflate chest!!

  12. caroline December 8, 2009

    ive seen christina live and she nearly busts blood vessels trying to hit notes like mariah, when you have to try that hard………………………………….

  13. Josephine December 8, 2009

    You obviously don’t know anything about music or Christina Aguilera! Her Stripped, Back to Basic, hell even her Christmas albums have more characater and integrity than those you named. I love Janet, but technically and verbally Christina knocks her out the box. Don’t even bother with Britney, and she can hold her own with Mariah. Maybe not Mariah in the 90s, but have you checked her lately, if you did you be the only one.

  14. caroline December 8, 2009

    im sorry doesnt christina know you personally? loooooooooooooool

  15. caroline December 8, 2009

    i know enough because i can actually afford to see these artists live before i make comments on them!!

  16. Josephine December 8, 2009

    You don’t have to know someone personally to hear if they can sing. Duhh

  17. caroline December 8, 2009

    true, but you must know her very very well because your head is so far up her ass, i have no more time fo you asswipe

  18. Deirdre B Pride December 8, 2009

    One of the best voices in the business. The girl can certainly hold her own and I’m looking forward to hearing from her.

  19. Dwaynefighter December 8, 2009

    Many would argue she isn’t original?? if “Back to Basics” isn’t, I don’t know WHAT is! and when the hell has Christina Aguilera ever walked in BRITNEY SPEARS’ footsteps???

  20. KodieBlue December 8, 2009

    Nate I stand up and Clap to what you said! Because thats exactly what crossed my mind when I heared the comment the writer made. No offense because he’s usually write about alot of things. More tnan most. But definitely wrong about that. I support your statement when you say that she’s been original since Stripped. It sounded unlike anything that Brittney Frittney ever broguht to the table. Christina on Stripped was no longer a pop musician. She became A Soul Spirited BlowOut Phenomenom of a singer! And when she wasn’t that on the album which was rarely, she showed what Pure R&B Rhythem and Blues was. Britteny ate her dust in every aspect after that.. And On Back to Basics. Jesus Lord.. I don’t think you can describe!

  21. monique December 9, 2009

    she needs 2 sit down b/c LADY GAGA IS RUNNING THIS SHHHT!!! what can she do that would be memorable?

  22. Dave December 10, 2009

    Christina does her own thing. THe only album that was similar to her rivals was her debut album, and she even spoke about that, & how her label wanted her to be poppy, & condense her vocals & vocal range, & how anyone could’ve sung “Genie in A Bottle” & made it a hit & etc. But, after that, starting with “Stripped” she became an artist & went in her own direction. She may have may semi-similar music to her predecessors, but she’s def in her own lane. I love Christina & this new album shall be exciting, can’t wait.

  23. Dave December 10, 2009

    & for Monique, Gaga not running s***. She is popular today, tomorrow she could be irrelevant. 24k the 1st week & just peaking @ 4 mill worldwide with her debut . Umm… Christina went diamond w/ her 1st album hun, & that’s just including Christina’s 1st album & on top of that everytime she come back out, she stay punching. Keep it cute with your poppy it girls for the moment. Because it’s never over until the LEGEND SANGS!

    Christina Aguilera, I love her eyes,so attractive just like my sister’s! Go blondes with blue eyes,they rule!

  25. Gregorio Umanzor September 18, 2010

    My all time favorite sung by Christina Aguilera is ‘Genie in a Bottle’. A great single.

  26. Brendan Castillanos September 25, 2010

    I saw a photo of Christina Aguilera with Nicole Ritchie girls’ night out. Christina looks gorgeous. It’s good that both had fun with other friends.
