Christina Aguilera Regains Control Of Her Body For New Album

Christina Aguilera has released a music video for “Your Body,” the first single off her upcoming Lotus album and wasn’t afraid to show off her own body regardless of a few extra pounds.

The “Dirrty” girl did her pink and lavender hair justice by creating an entire video centered around pastel colors and vintage props.

Originals by D*Face, Shephard Fairey, and Banksy filled the trailer park home and added some artistic “flare” to the video.

One of the original pieces of art work portrayed Queen Victoria sitting on another woman’s face.

Christina paid a lot of attention to the visuals of the video and the rest of her album by hiring the hipster street style photographer Mark Hunter, or The Cobrasnake, to put together the unique images and quirky visual touches.

While the video may come across as “trashy” to the Huffington Post, the pop mistress finds the video and her album to be “ahead of its time.”

Aguilera actually didn’t seem to be surprised that not everyone was being receptive to her personal form of art, admitting that the album is definitely a new direction for her.

“I took an entirely different approach as typically I go for one look, one sound and a very distinct genre,” the Voice coach explained. “For the album I really wanted to put music on the record that felt good, that moved me and just let myself be less limiting.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
