Christina Aguilera Announces ‘Bionic’ Album Release Date

After a year spent in the studio, Christina Aguilera will release her new album this summer on June 8, it was announced on Thursday.

The album features songs Christina co-wrote with artists including Australian singer songwriter Sia, producer Tricky Stewart — who helped helmed the production desk for Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” indie rockers Le Tigre and Liverpool electro band Ladytron.

Additionally, the album reunites Christina with “Beautiful” songwriter Linda Perry, who penned and produced the ballad “Lift Me Up” for the release.

“Working on this album with so many talented artists and producers that I admire was really an amazing experience. The artists I chose to work with added so many unique sonic layers to ‘Bionic,’” Christina said in a statement. “My intention was to step into their world and what they do combined with my own vision and sound. The results were magic.”

Christina added that she hopes the album will surprise her fans.

“I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matter ranging from playful to introspective,” she continued. “I am so excited for my fans to hear the new sound. It is something I don’t think anyone will expect.”

It was also announced on Thursday that “Bionic’s” first single, “Not Myself Tonight,” a song produced by Polow Da Don, will debut on ChristinaAguilera.com on March 30 at 6 PM ET. It will hit iTunes on April 13.

Christina recently wrapped production on her first feature film, “Burlesque,” which also stars Oscar winner Cher, Stanley Tucci and Kristen Bell. Due out this fall, “Burlesque” is about a big-voiced, but small town girl, who moves to Los Angeles and lands a job at the Burlesque Lounge where she deals with jealousy.
