Bionic
Christina Aguilera

The controversial Lady Gaga and eccentric Ke$ha should be worried about the return of the original naughty pop diva, Christina Aguilera. This month, Aguilera releases her fourth studio effort, Bionic, a whole four years after the huge success of Back to Basics. This time around, Miss Aguilera has reinvented herself again and has come up with a more futuristic sound and image. Once more working closely with hit-maker Linda Perry (the lady responsible for one of Christina’s biggest hits “Beautiful”), Christina also collaborates with Tricky Stewart and Ladytron on Bionic and the resulting album has an innovative and ultramodern feel to it. “Not Myself Tonight” (produced by Pollow Da Don) is the first single to be culled from the album and is currently storming the charts in the United States and indeed all over the world. Welcome back Christina!
