It's 'Sexyback' - lite. It's 'Dirrty' but a little cleaner. It's the new Christina Aguilera track on which we've been waiting for about a year now. There was a whole countdown thing on her website that ended up ticking down the minutes until we were given....a picture of Christina Aguilera with a tail. Then there was another countdown to something else irrelevant and now FINALLY there is this. Was it worth the wait? We're inclined to say no - not out of pessimism or some sort of retaliation for the tedious countdown, but because it just isn't one of her best songs. The verses are a little weird, the chorus isn't particularly catchy, and as we alluded to before, the backing track is a 'Sexyback' ripoff. There's a cool bit where the producer did a jumpy thing with her voice though. It occurs at the exact 2:00 mark and is a tiny bit brilliant.
The album is out June 8.
