June 6, 200619 yr Author thanks to Peter_2006: Christina Makes Her Comeback Twice As Nice By Expanding Basics Into Double LP After telling GQ last month that she had recorded enough material for a double album but had narrowed it down to one to make it more affordable, Christina Aguilera has apparently had a change of heart. At Saturday's MTV Movie Awards, where Aguilera performed her new single, the singer revealed that Back to Basics would in fact include two distinct discs. "The first half is based upon working with more beat-driven producers and will use samples and things like that, and then the second disc is all me and Linda Perry," Aguilera said, referring to her "Beautiful" collaborator. A common theme, however, will run through both discs: an homage to Aguilera's favorites eras, the 1920s, '30s and '40s (see "Christina Aguilera's New LP: Some Jazz, Some Hip-Hop Soul ... And Some Burlesque"). "The first half of the album is kind of a throwback with elements of jazz, blues and soul music combined with a modern-day twist, like hard-hitting beats," the singer explained. And for the second disc, "We creatively went into our own zone and our own world together," Aguilera said of her work with Perry. "There are no cover songs, so we made more of a '20s, '30s vibe with an authentic and organic twist. There are no samples — it's all live music. One of the songs sounds like you entered a 1920s burlesque club, another song sounds like it was actually recorded in the 1920s, using a vintage microphone, so it's exciting stuff." The double-album is due August 15, nearly four years after Aguilera's last LP, Stripped. "I definitely take my time, so I do come with a lot more to say about what's going on in my life so it's meaningful to me and to my fans," Aguilera explained of the gap. "I always try to come back with something new and try to evolve as an artist and as a visionary. I can't wait to see the reaction." Seeing that reaction is exactly the reason Aguilera wanted to debut her new single, "Ain't No Other Man," at the MTV Movie Awards (see "MTV Movie Awards: Will Ferrell Freaks Out; Jessica Simpson Dusts Off Daisy Dukes"). "The last time I performed at a Movie Awards show was for 'Lady Marmalade,' and that was so much fun," she said. As for the new song, "I wanted to make it light and easy for people to dance to and sing along to, so the whole song is based on feel-good elements of soul and blues and jazz," she said. "Lyrically, I just got married, so it's about someone in particular, but it's all about feeling good and not taking anything too seriously." "Ain't No Other Man," like most of Back to Basics' first side, was produced by DJ Premier (see "Christina's New Split-Personality Album Is Mature And 'Dirrty' "). "On the Gang Starr albums he would take jazz things and chop them up and he had some jazz elements in his beats. Along with being a fan of his, I thought he would really get into this world I had envisioned, with the throwback album meeting the hard-hitting beats of today," Aguilera said. "He went there and totally blew my mind. He got it, and some producers didn't get it. And he goes beyond being just a beatmaker. He has a great ear for what sounds good vocally and what a sloppy ad-lib is." Aguilera says she would someday like to make a straight jazz record, but for now, she's thrilled with Back to Basics. "It was quite a journey making this record [and turning to] the old glam look visually to go along with all that," she said. "But what we came up with, I'm super-proud of." Source: MTV.com
June 6, 200619 yr Author two new tracks are confirmed and they are called 'Hurt' and 'Pray'. this is a review from some radio DJ who has heard snippets of 'Back II Basics': Basics, it's not even released for another 2 months and Im already resorting to shorthand, is an ambitious 24 song effort and I only caught the tale end of Nasty Naughty Boy before being treated to Im In Trouble, Hurt, Thank You and Slow Down Baby. Of all those tracks only Hurt sounds like the Christina you're used to. It's a big power ballad along the lines of Beautiful but instead of uplifting and comforting lyrics, this one sounds like a deathbed plea for forgiveness. Nasty Naughty Boy is a burlesque-y romp where Christina begs her man to put his icing on her cake. She then quickly takes it back with Slow Down Baby, a song for those who think theyre getting a piece of said cake but are sadly mistaken, cause she's taken. In Trouble is a track your grandma will enjoy with the snap crackle and pops of old vinyl, horns youd hear on a Missippi Riverboat and a breathy Christina sounding miles away, buried in the mix like a lounge singer struggling to be heard over a packed house. While Pray will make you think you're walking by a basement church in Harlem on a sweet summer Sunday. That, and you'll be humming the different song with the same title by Hammer in the back of your mind itching for a mash-up to be done. Back to Basics, her third disc and first in almost 4 years, is a concept album that goes in a few different directions. Some songs will sound familiar to Stripped, but inspired by Linda Perry's vast record collection and DJ Premier's mashing of new and vintage beats, Christina also takes fans down an unfamiliar road, one laced with burlesque, horns, smoke, jazz and blues. But it really shouldn't come as a surprise that shes finally done this, Christina has been talking about her love of standards and blues and jazz since her first interviews for Genie In a Bottle 7 years ago. She calls the likes of Ella and Etta her "fun music" from when she was a child, and judging by the fierce pace of the debut single, Ain't No Other Man, were gonna find it fun too.
