[PHOTOS] EXCLUSIVE: CHRISTINA AGUILERA 'YOU LOST ME' MUSIC VIDEO STILLS

Christina Aguilera is back and better than ever with her powerhouse new ballad 'You Lost Me,' and PopEater is excited to bring you exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from the music video shoot. On the somber track, the singer maintains the futurism of her 'Bionic' album while bringing the honesty and emotion that have made Aguilera one of the premier balladeers of our time.



Anthony Mandler, who wrote the treatment for the 'You Lost Me' video, explains, "From the first keys of the opening of the track, we know that we are about to watch something that is going to move and transform us."



The video will feature a series of connected vignettes.



"In the end, we've traveled through Christina's world. One that is physical, mental and spiritually charged. Nothing is what it seems. Everything is fractured and evolving, falling away ... fragile," he adds.



An official video premiere date has not been announced.

Christina Aguilera’s new video for You Lost Me doesn’t drop until next Tuesday, but we’ve got a sneak peek for you right now! The video looks much more like Beautiful as opposed to Not Myself Tonight. I don’t care if it’s a blank screen for 3 1/2 minutes as long as I don’t have to hear about her copying Lady Gaga anymore.



Here are more pics from the You Lost Me video shoot and don’t forget to check out the video on MuchMusic and MuchMusic.com when it drops on Tuesday July 20!

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA HIRES ANTHONY MANDLER TO DIRECT ‘YOU LOST ME’ MUSIC VIDEO

CHRISTINA AGUILERA has hired one of music’s most popular directors for her ‘You Lost Me’ music video. Anthony Mandler has confirmed via his twitter that he will be directing the clip this week. “I love this song I’m working with this week” he writes before making the confirmation. “You Lost Me”.

Mandler certainly does not come cheap, since he is now a big name in Pop music’s Elite. Last year, he directed avande-garde music clips for Rihanna, Amerie and Jay-Z. Plus, Beyonce is also one of his biggest clients. It’s good that after ‘Bionic’ was certified moulded cheese, she is still pressing ahead with making things work.
