Christina Aguilera Working With M.I.A., Santigold and Le Tigre

August 17, 2009
Christina Aguilera Working With M.I.A., Santigold and Le TigreDetails of Christina Aguilera's forthcoming album have emerged today.

Entitled 'Light and Darkness' the U.S pop star has enlisted the help of M.I.A, Santigold, Ladytron and Le Tigre as well as production from Linda Perry and the singer Sia.

Discussing the alterntaive nature of the artists she has collaborated with Aguilera said, "Working with so many different people, I really kind of wanted to step into their worlds, them into my world and just get the best of both worlds.

"I really like to step outside of my own box. The result was just crazy magic. There truly is something for everyone to enjoy on the record. Lots of good stuff in store!"

Speaking about how the album sounds Aguilera went on to say to APE Radio: “I know I can't let too much out the bag too soon.

"I experimented with so many different types of textures and sounds with my voice that I've never showcased and that I never really knew that I could do." however she refused to be drawn too far going on to say.

"I really want you guys to be surprised and to experience firsthand what I'm talking about or what I'm not talking too much about.”

Aguilera finished by saying she is “Wrapping the album up” at the moment.
