(With 30 million albums sold worldwide and the prestigious honor of being the only artist under the age of 30 included in Rolling Stone Magazineâs list of the 100 greatest singers of all time, 5 time Grammy Award winner Christina Aguilera has already achieved an unprecedented level of success. Aguileraâs been hard at work in the studio for the past year and is pleased to announce the release of her highly anticipated 4th studio album Bionic (RCA Records) on June 8th. The first single from Bionic is the fiercely energetic anthem âNot Myself Tonightâ, produced by Polow Da Don. The song premiered on ChristinaAguilera.com and available on iTunes on now.
Bionic features songs co-written by Aguilera along with her much buzzed about collaborations including Sia, Tricky Stewart, Polow Da Don, Le Tigre, Hill & Switch, and Ladytron among others. Aguilera notes, âWorking on this album with so many talented artists and producers that I admire was really an amazing experience. The artists I chose to work with added so many unique sonic layers to Bionic. My intention was to step into their world and what they do combined with my own vision and sound. The results were magic.â The album also features a ballad produced and written by Linda Perry titled âLift Me Upâ. The title Bionic reflects Aguileraâs ability to take her range to new levels and use her voice in various ways never heard before.
Aguilera describes the album as a unique mix of many genres and styles of music, âI was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matter ranging from playful to introspective. I am so excited for my fans to hear the new sound. It is something I donât think anyone will expect.â
In addition to completing the album which was all recorded from her home studio after the birth of her first son, Christina also completed production on her first film, âBurlesque.â The film, which co-stars Cher, Stanley Tucci, and Kristen Bell will be released by ScreenGems this fall.
