New Christina Aguilera Video – Not Myself Tonight

After seeing Christina Aguilera’s new video “Not Myself Tonight”, many people are saying that she took a lot of Lady Gaga and Madonna elements and that she’s trying too hard.

The song is extremely raunchy, but actually Christina has done many videos like that, so I’m not sure that she’s trying to “beat” Lady Gaga or Madonna. Her vocals, as usual are great and she does look once again awesome in her new video. The question is, do you like the song itself? Watch it below:

Christina Aguilera – To Perform on The Oprah Winfrey Show

It was announced today, that Christina Aguilera will perform on the Oprah Winfrey Show on May 7th, at 10 am at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The performance will be used to promote her upcoming new album “Bionic”, which will be released on June 8th in the U.S. It is said that she will most likely perform her official first single of the album “Not Myself Tonight”, which has become the most added song on the Top 40 and Rhythm radio this week.

Recently Christina Aguilera shared a letter with her fans:

"Since the release of my last studio album, "Back to Basics", I have become a mother, a wife, and most recently an actress. All of these new experiences have allowed me to face new challenges and explore different sides of myself I did not even know existed."

"I am a woman who wears many hats and carries many responsibilities. There are so many characteristics that define me, and this album was put together to represent all of those different parts of myself. The sound is not necessarily easy to define because I am not easy to define. I can be serious. I can be playful. Sexual. Loving. Tough. Hardworking. Honest."

She continued, "I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matters ranging from playful to introspective. This allowed me to challenge myself by using my voice in ways I never had before. It also allowed me to push personal boundaries and explore what is possible for my future and me as an artist."

Christina Aguilera Releases “Not Myself Tonight”

Christina Aguilera has released the full length version of her new single "Not Myself Tonight". Here's what she tells her while she sings:

"Tonight I'm feeling a little out of control," Aguilera whispers seductively on the introduction to the tribal house-inspired track. "I'm doing things that I normally wouldn't do. The old me's gone, I feel brand new, and if you don't like it, f*** you." (The last two words are replaced by a giddy shriek on the song's edited version).

"I'm dancin' a lot, I'm takin' shots and I'm feelin' fine," Aguilera continues on the song's second verse. "I'm kissin' on the boys and girls, someone call the doctor, 'cause I lost my mind!"

Many people will speculate whether Christina can take on Lady Gaga with her new single and album, but both should not be compared. Christina is doing her own thing and her vocals are fabulous.

“Bionic” will be released on June 8th and will feature collaborations with Sia, Le Tigre, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, Hill & Switch and Ladytron.

“Not Myself Tonight” will be included on Christina’s new album “Bionic”, which will be released in the United States on June 8th. Here are Christina’s thoughts on the new album: "I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matter ranging from playful to introspective.

Christina Aguilera’s New Album - ‘Bionic’

Christina Aguilera is set to release her fourth studio album in March. She just revealed to Marie-Claire that the official title of the album will be ‘Bionic’ and its leading single will be titled ‘Glam’. The lead single is a hip-hop song inspired by Madonna’s ‘Vogue’.

‘Lullaby’ and ‘Bionic’ are other singles which will be included on the album. ‘Bionic’ is said to be the addictive track of the album. Marie-Claire exclusively previewed all three songs.

Christina on her new album: “futuristic in terms of looking into the future and giving it a new twist and a new sensibility.”

“I am working with a lot of electro artists to make that come alive. That is what really inspires me at the moment.”

Christina Aguilera's Radio

Clear Channel Radio and Front Line Management have joined forces to create artist personal experience (a.p.e.) radio, a company which will allow music acts to produce their own channels for online radio.

Christina's extremely excited about this opportunity:

"Fans always write to ask me what I like and listen to, which makes this such a great opportunity for me to share my musical inspirations with them.

"My channel is going to be a special place for my fans to find out about my new music, upcoming tours and lots of other news and original content. It's going to be fun."

Christina Aguilera's New Album

Christina Aguilera is currently working on a new album. The singer recently talked to the LA Times about the new sound she’s trying to come up with. She says "My last album had a vintage, retro, glam appeal. And this next album which I am almost finished and am about to release has a very modern sense about it. Futuristic in terms of looking into the future and giving it a new twist and a new sensibility. I am working with a lot of electro artists to make that come alive. That is what really inspires me at the moment."

Her official site says to check in the next couple of months, we should definitely hear something new later this year. Would the futuristic sound be something simillar to "Keeps Getting Better"? Is this the kind of music you'd like to hear from Christina, feel free to leave your comments.
