Leaked: Back To Basics

Christina Aguilera's new album Back to Basics, which will be released next Tuesday - August 15, 2006, has been "leaked" into MTV.com. The site has a player which has all of the tracks from disc one and disc two of the soon to be released double disc.

You got soul, you got class/You got style, you're badass are the leading lyrics in the chorus of Xtina's first single Ain't No Other Man, written for her husband, but maybe more reflective of how she see's herself [total artist with a writing credit on every track and executive producing the record].

This album crackles with jazz, blues, and soul inspired tracks with overlaid urban beats and club style scratches. Beyond ANOM, I especially like Makes Me Wanna Pray [featuring Steve Winwood], Slow Down Baby, Oh Mother, On Our Way, Thank You, Hurt, and Mercy On Me. I think MMWP will be her next single and this sounds like it will be a very popular and good selling record for Mrs. Aguilera. Good work and thank you for a much needed original recording.
