Details: Product DescriptionAguilera, ChristinaAmazon.caBack to Basics, Christina Aguilera’s first disc in four years, re fines and clarifies the–let’s call it « sexy »–aura surrounding this platinum firebrand. Here, the best belter in a class that counts Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears on its roll call has turned her attention to love songs: the supercharged and ubiquitous first single « Ain’t No Other Man, » for one, and the hushed stunner « Save Me from Myself » for another. That doesn’t mean she’s foresworn being nasty, though. Dive deep into this set, past the gorgeous crackle that frames the old-school jazz-, blues-, and soul-inspired tracks on the first disc, and you’ll reach a playful and familiar raunch; « Candyman » celebrates a « one-stop shop » who « makes the panties drop » to a boogie-woogie beat, and « Nasty Naughty Boy » sends out a heated, big-beated invitation to « sip on my champagne/Cause I’m gonna give you a little taste/Of the sugar below my waist. » Thoughtful listeners should snap out of their fascination with Xtina’s undiminished yet newly un-tramp-like sexuality, though, because what they’ll really want to focus on throughout these 22 tracks is the honest-to-God artistry. While the rock producer Linda Perry helps disc two pop in interesting and unexpected ways (check the muffled blues number « I Got Trouble » and « Mercy on Me, » an obvious nod to Fiona Apple), DJ Prem ier, a mainstay on Jay-Z and Nas projects, pipes a batch of aural high-fives into the nostalgia-bitten first disc (the deep-down funk of « Back in the Day, » the strut-strut early hip-hop sound of « Still Dirrty »). Their nudges aside, though,Back to Basics is all Aguilera’s baby–she executive-produced, and she’s found herself artistically. Nobody would argue, in fact, if she swiveled around the chorus to « Ain’t No Other Man, » written for her husband, and aimed it at herself: « You got soul, you got class/You got style, you’re bada–. »–Tammy La Gorce More from Xtina Christina Aguilera Stripped Mi Reflejo My Kind of Christmas Christina Aguilera -Stripped-Live in the UK Christina Aguilera-My Reflection
