Christina Aguilera Regains Control Of Her Body For New Album

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

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.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
