There has been shit loads of very confusing discussion – either these strange, very Goldfrappy-Ladytron -like video clips are a part of Christina Aguilera’s new album viral promotion campaign or not. Personally I’m not sure what to think or believe, but honestly, these 3 short clips look really interesting and well done. Who ever is standing behind them, obviously knows the business. Jonas Ã…kerlund maybe? Could be. He has done video’s for Xstina before. And the style is very similar to his recent work. Or the guy who did Ladytron’s Tomorrow video. Or Johan Renck. He as well has done some very similar stuff for The Knife and such.
I totally admit, the music on these clips doesn’t sound Christina at all, but RCA have confirmed the release of Christina’s fourth studio album, ‘BIONIC’, on March 29. Including 14 brand new tracks, with productions from The Neptunes, Goldfrapp, Le Tigre, Sia, Santigold, Ladytron and M.I.A. That would explain the similarities to Goldfrapp on the clips.
“This album is totally different to what I’ve done in the past – much more upbeat, electronic and dance music and I can’t wait for you to all hear it.” Says Aguilera.
You think I’m out of my mind and full of shit? Well, check this out. Yeah, or this. Ohh, so much fun! All the fuzz on these clips reminds me the tymes when the first viral campaign of LOST came online.
Oh and even Dazed Digital thinks it’s Xstina.

I love Christina because she is so damn talented. Christina has a great eye for fashion and I love her clothes. I have met Christina in public one and she was really polite. Such good manners. How can anyone hate Christina I just dun understand the negative comments I read sometimes. No more turmoil in her life please god…Christina deserves happiness and the love of friends.
Ok Ming.. umm… Thanks for opening up. Go Xstina! ..right?

now what the hell i’m supposed to think about those videos above?! Weird ass shit and spooky as hell. Nonetheless, i’ll skip the videos and look very forward to Christina Aguilera’s new album, sounds like it’s going to be awesome, at least i hope it will be!!
She already tried the Lady Gaga sound and failed. Why can’t she just be herself? She fishing for new fans. That to me is not being genuine.
Christina is very talented, but she isn’t an artist. In no shape or form do I get vibes of this being her. At all. There is something about mainstream artists; they are so bored with even themselves that they have to steal from true artists just to keep things interesting.
