Christina Aguilera to Dupe Hipsters with Santigold, M.I.A. Collaborations

Previously: Le Tigre! Sia! Goldfrapp! Ladytron! And now Christina Aguilera, like a ventriloquist, has managed to stay tight-lipped while intimating how she's also collaborated with Santigold and M.I.A.. But specific details about the Best Album Ever otherwise remain cloudy. We don't even have a release date, although a viral should be forthcoming -- it usually is.
Adds Aguilera, “I know I can’t let too much out the bag too soon. I think I’m most proud of this work than I’ve ever been, just because I worked with so many amazing and incredibly talented people.” Despite being spoiled for collaborators, Aguilera singles out Sia, saying, “I think we really created some super crazy magic together.”
But while Aguilera rides the coat-tails of such talent to the highest tier of indie street cred, perhaps a sizable number of us will continue to ape for the good old days. And the rest of us will wait patiently to see how badly Aguilera manages to dupe the Pitchfork set into thinking that there might be any palpable difference between this new album and this Goldfrappish gem featured on her greatest hits collection.

Aguilera always trying to collect other people’s works and past it off as her own.

this is why albums like this suffer later in time (THE BEST ALBUM EVER) “Label” we don’t know anything yet but Christina Aguilera is putting together an crew with lots of names from not-too-commercial acts to create a POP ALBUM for the masses, it might work, it might not as well but since she’s trying to put out a piece of work planned to please radio i hope this album to sound amazing electronicaly-melted with that VOICE of hers to set on fire radio airplay and my personal speakers, i won’t mind if it takes longer than expected, somehow she’s always making us wait for new music, but this MUSIC damn it does promises!
