Back to Basics, out in June. "I feel like I have been pregnant for eighteen months!" says Aguilera for how long it has taken her to finish the follow-up 2002's Stripped. Aguilera sees this disc as a modern update of the vintage jazz, pop and R&B she loved as a kid - artists from Billie Holiday to Odis Redding. Working at Chalice Studios in Los Angeles with beatmakers including DJ Premier and Mark Ronson, she went for a "throwback style using horn sample so it sounds gritty and old," she says. "But we've been able to splice it into something that people can still dance in the clubs." Aguilera also teamed up with Linda Perry, her collaborator on Stripped. "We dove headfirst into a Twenties- and Thirties-era vibe," Aguilera says. "We have a song that sounds like you walked into a 1920s burlesque club." On one yet-to-be-tittled track, Aguilera sings about losing a loved one on top of layered strings ŕ la "Eleonor Rigby". Other songs includes and Andrew Sisters sendup called "Candyman" and a ballad dedicated to her new husband tittled "Save me From Myself". Aguilera´s considering releasing the album as a double disk, though no concrete decisions have been made. "There´s a lot of stuff people haven´t heard from me before", she says. "On one song, Im just right above the mike. There´s no reverb. There´s no effects. There´s no belting at all - nothing." Izvor: Rolling Stone |
