For those who have been wondering if Christina Aguilera’s career was going to fade softly away after her 2006 album “Back to Basics”, four years ago, and then her greatest hits album that came out in 2008, “Keeps Getting Better: A Decade of Hits,” you don’t need to wonder any longer. The fourth studio album for the pop star and diva extraordinaire will be entitled “Bionic” and is scheduled for release on June 9th. The announcement came yesterday with the added news that the first single from the album, “Not Myself Tonight,” will be premiering March 30th on her official web site. If you’d like to get a chance to hear a little bit of the song before it comes out, then today you can check out the website for an official preview of the single.

Aguilera recorded the new album from the comfort of her home studio, and so far, the descriptions of “Bionic” speak of very electronic and “organic” elements, and that the different subjects she touches on in the lyrics are from anywhere to the introspective and the playful. Aguilera herself seems excited about the new album, and thinks her fans will be, too. Her thought is that no one will expect the new sound and she hopes her fans will like it, and later tonight, we should find out what exactly this new sound is going to be like.

And Aguilera has also spoken of all the rumors that she will be collaborating with artists like Le Tigre, Sia, Ladytron, Hill & Switch, and Tricky Stewart. She has confirmed that there will be several different collaborations. The same woman who helped write the hits “Candyman” and “Hurt” from the Back to Basics album, Linda Perry, will also be writing one of the new singles for the album as well. Looks like Aguilera’s only been biding her time and is ready to make her move. Should be good.
