Xtina's Lotus and Your Body

That title of the post may sound like a poorly constructed double- entendre but don't worry, it's not.

Today, the Queen of my musical heart Christina Aguilera hosted a live Twitter Q&A for her fans, for the upcoming release of her new single 'Your Body' and subsequently her 7th studio album, the follow up record to 2010's Bionic. The new album is entitled 'Lotus'- 'representing an unbreakable flower that survives under the hardest conditions and still thrives', as revealed by the lady herself. I still stand by my view that Bionic was a severely underrated pop masterpiece, but never mind- we have new tunes coming our way! Plus, after a rather turbulent yet dynamic past couple of years, Aguilera has had a lot of material to work with and we all know what a gifted writer she is. She's done RnB, Vintage, Electronica but for this record she insists that 'conceptually, I didn't target one particular sound/genre. I made music that felt good.'

Although my questions were not answered- due to the high amount of tweets, it probably got lost in the mix :( Aguilera shared a lot with her fans so all is good. From her current musical playlist (Frank Ocean and M83) to the inspiration behind this new album, Xtina answered and retweeted as many questions as she could with the help of her cute mutt Nugget. She even shared the cover shot for her single 'Your Body' firstly with her fans via tweet! Check it out!

She looks hot, and from what the leaked demo from a couple of weeks ago indicate, we are in for some serious pop schooling. While 'Lotus' won't be released till November, the first single comes out this Friday and we have plenty of Xtina on The Voice to keep us happy. I honestly cannot wait! I think we can all agree that it has been far too long since Bionic. 

What do you think of the cover? 

LOVE!

Burlesque: The Review

When I first heard that Christina was scheduled to do her first motion picture, I peed my pants. When I heard that it was a musical film, I hyperventilated in a paperbag. When I heard that she was starring alongside Cher, I died and gone to Jack McFarlan's heaven. It was just a genius pairing isn't it? Of course I threw a little hissy fit when I found out that it was due out in the UK mid-December, which meant that when it came out on Thanksgiving, I had a month to wait for it and it was exasperating. Fast forward to today, when I finally got to see Burlesque with my friend Jess, it felt as though my Christmas was complete. The snow did not put a damper on my mood. In fact, it more like overcoming nature's hurdle and when I did make it to the cinema, nothing could get me down. Nobody or nothing stands between me and Christina. Not even muddy slush.
