Christina Aguilera has one of the strongest voices of our era. No doubt about it. As much as we love her, we thought that the greatest hits collection was premature and Back To Basics, though it had some solid gems, had too much fluff. Still, we don’t doubt for one second her ability to deliver unlike any of her generation. If you ask us who won the Mickey Mouse Club race to the top, we’d say Christina.
Still, ever since Stripped, which is one of the greatest pop album on this green earth, we haven’t seen much of a cultural impact, let alone a single that stood up by itself. But, it’s looking like Xtina is about to rectify that with the impressive list of producers she has on the Light & Darkness bandwagon. Click below for it.
- SiA (no need for an intro)
- Sam Dixon (co-writer for SiA and Duffy)
- Major Lazer (Diplo + Switch) (Mastermind remixers behind Radiohead and Britney Spears)
- Linda Perry (long-time collaborator, former 4 Non Blondes frontwoman)
- Le Tigre (Dance-punk riot grrls)
- Goldfrapp (No need for an intro)
- Tricky Stewart (producer of Mariah’s “Touch My Body” and Rihanna’s “Umbrella”)
- Claude Kelly (co-writer for Lady Gaga and Kelly Clarkson)
- Ladytron (electronic pop band and remixers)
- Ladyhawke (no need for intro)
- Focus (no clue who this is)
- DJ Premier (Hip Hop / Rap DJ)
- Santigold (formerly Santogold)
- M.I.A. (no need for intro)
- Anjulie (dance damsel)
This is quite an impressive and sexy line-up. In fact, we have never seen such a line-up in the history of pre-album news. Ever. Might we add the great aspect of girl power running throughout. With that line up no one can falter. We look forward to what Light & Darkness will bring in 2010.
Wow i agree, amazing list!! Excited about the album and to see what M.I.A. and Claude Kelly have up their sleeves for Chistina!
Fahad is gonna be very happy about this post! :p
I ‘d never thought I’d ever see Christina + M.I.A. working together but it actually happened. I cannot wait for this, it’s going to be epic.
yes, indeedy
I can’t be more happy with the list of collaborators on this record. It’s rumored that Sony BMG listed the album for a Nov. 23rd release. Meaning a single late Sept. if it’s true.
that’d be too early
Can’t wait…
Impressive indeed.
Very very impressive.
I’m excited!! Can’t wait to fall in love with Christina again.. When we thought she’s gonna sail aimlessly through the lost archives of our minds, she springs back like a mermaid against the rocks. (huh?)
something like that…
She’s back for sure…can’t wait.
[...] Light & Darkness not only because it’s a new Xtina offering, but also because of its impressive line-up for producers, including M.I.A. and SiA. The release is slated for March [...]
