For Christina Aguilera’s latest musical invention, she’s ready to take it down a notch.
The “Dirrty” singer has been working with her favorite band, electro pop Ladytron, to help her develop a “softer vocal sound.”
Daniel Hunt, Founder of Ladytron, says, “She’s an absolutely amazing singer, but one of the things she talked about was working with a softer vocal sound, so I think the stuff we do will feature simpler melodies.”
The 28-year-old singer hired the British quartet to help her achieve a new sound. “We first heard that we were one of Christina’s favorite bands last summer,” Daniel explains. We were thrilled. So we went to Los Angeles to meet her in December where she identified the type of Ladytron songs that she liked. We were impressed because she had a real deep knowledge of our music-album tracks, not just singles.
According to Daniel, a live collaboration between Christina and Ladytron hasn’t been ruled out. “We’re going to finish off some more tunes with her in March. We haven’t discussed performing together, but I’d love for us to do something-maybe be her backing band for a show or two.”
Christina Aguilera’s new album is expected to come out this year.
