Christina Aguilera Has The New ‘Vogue’ On Upcoming Album

According to songwriter, Claude Kelly, Christina Aguilera has the modern day ‘Vogue’ on her upcoming album, Bionic.

Kelly says:

“I wrote this crazy ass song with Tricky Stewart called ‘Glam.’ It’s a hard club song that’s about high fashion. It’s really for the ladies about getting dressed and looking your best, working it in the club and getting glam and sexy before you go out.

Christina wants to talk about getting sexy and independent, but being strong at the same time. It will surprise people. I’m calling it a modern day ‘Vogue.’ I wouldn’t say it unless I believed it.”

Madonna’s ‘Vogue’ is legendary, but if anyone could pull if off, all bets would be on Christina Aguilera.

Tricky Stewart Dishes On Christina Aguilera’s New Album

Producer Tricky Stewart recently shared some inside information with Vibe magazine on what it’s been like working with Christina Aguilera on her upcoming album.

When asked about his approach to working with the superstar, Tricky says, “With Christina it’s a little different, because Christina wants music that you haven’t heard before. She did things that she’s never necessarily heard on the radio. She doesn’t want a record that sounds like anything else so you’re trying to create an entirely new sound for an artist. The three tracks that I did, they’re all uptempo tracks so we definitely kind of get the club moving but it’s just a matter of her doing different styles and using her voice in different ways.”

In addition to Tricky Stewart, Aguilera has reportedly been working with Sia, Le Tigre, Flo-Rida, Diplo & Switch, Linda Perry, Claude Kelly, Santigold, M.I.A, and many more.

Christina Aguilera Completes 4th Studio Album

I cannot wait to hear Christina Aguilera’s upcoming album! But we’re all going to have to wait until 2010.

Tricky Stewart, who has produced such hits as Rihanna’s Umbrella and Beyonce’s Single Ladies, is working with Christina Aguilera on her upcoming album and had the following to say about it:

“It’s just great. I wouldn’t say that it’s alternative, I wouldn’t say that it’s different. Christina’s always been an artist that moves the bar and that’s what the great ones do. They don’t stay in the same place for too long and this album is just another move for her. I really feel it’s one of her best bodies of work that I’ve heard since Stripped.”

Aguilera has also been working with M.I.A., Santigold, Sia, Le Tigre, Ladytron and Flo Rida.

The reason for the 2010 album release is because she’s currently working on the movie Burlesque with Cher.

Tricky says, “She’s gonna do the film first. She didn’t want to not be able to promote this record because it’s going to be a big record for her. The album is finished. She’s mixing. She hasn’t made a final decision about what the first single is, but I know everyone feels good about their options.”

It sounds like it’s going to be an amazing album!!!
