How’s this for odd couples: Pop glamour goddess Christina Aguilera has written songs with feminist electro pop act Le Tigre. Not even Oscar and Felix can beat that eccentric but oh-so-wonderful couple.
According to Pitchfork and Johanna Fateman’s blog, a “couple of songs” that the feminine collaboration wrote over the winter may make the cut for Xtina’s new album, dubbed Bionic. Despite the at-surface level of implausibility regarding this most unique of pairings, Fateman said they all had a lot in common, especially since “Deceptacon” is apparently Aguilera’s “jam”.
“[We] found a ton of common ground in our aim to make upbeat danceable tracks celebrating female friendship, strength, and of course, PARTYING,” and, “The songs have a lot of elements we’re known for like a garage guitar sound, schoolyard chants, new wave-y synths, electro beats, and somehow it all sounds crazily right with Christina’s unbelievable voice. For a feminist band obsessed with pop music, it was pretty much a dream come true.”
Add Le Tigre to an album that will also see collabos with Goldfrapp, M.I.A, and Santigold, and we’re pretty sure this could be the most dynamic pop record of 2010. While Bionic doesn’t have an official release date, some blogs are saying it could be out as early as April. The first single, supposedly called “Glam”, could hit radios early this month.
