We had a sneak listen to Christina Aguilera’s hotly anticipated fourth album "BIONIC". And it turns out the 29-year-old has still got a few surprises up her S&M sleeve. Here are our highlights:
BIONIC: A raunchy, dub-flecked treat, reminiscent of Rihanna and Santigold. “Allow yourself to transform,” Aguilera sings in a rumblingly low register.
NOT MYSELF TONIGHT: The first single has been overshadowed by the risque video but it has pleasing echoes of Janet Jackson in her heyday, and Gimme More-era.
WOOHOO: Christina tips her peroxide fringe to Kelis and M.I.A with this saucy dancehall number. “You know you really wanna taste my… You know you really wanna get a peak at my…” she sings seductively.
I HATE BOYS: A glam-rock stomp with a deceptively simple chorus that will have schoolgirls singing at the top of their lungs.
YOU LOST ME: This Sia-penned torch song about a cheated-on lady sounds like a classic. There’s a smoky vulnerability to Christina’s voice.
LIFT ME UP: Written by Four Non-Blondes’ Linda Perry, this could have fallen into cliche territory but the slick production elevates it to a modern, moody power ballad.
Can't wait anymore!
