CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Bionic (RCA)
Release Date: June 8
The Skinny: Christina Aguilera has flitted through a number of different personae over the years (fresh-faced teeny popper, grotty sex animal, prim soul-side anachronist), but one thing that hasn't changed since she broke out is the fact that her voice is, well, amazing. Bionic is another career swerve that is being pitched, at least in part, as a futuristic fuck-you to the comparatively demure Aguilera of Back to Basics yore. Among the eclectic cast of collaborators: M.I.A., Le Tigre, Peaches, Flo Rida, Linda Perry, Santigold, Polow da Don, Switch… The list goes on, and it stews.
Fast Fact: Not content to keep her mannered sass confined to music, Aguilera will star on the silver screen this fall in Burlesque, a movie about a strip club that pairs Christina—at long last—with Cher.
