SPIN Mag confirms the album title is 'Light & Darkness', and it is coming out in September.
Christina Aguilera Recording with Le Tigre
The "Dirrty" pop star experiments with different sounds on her September release.
Christina Aguilera sure has come a long way from her "Genie in a Bottle" days. For her upcoming September album, Light & Darkness, she recorded
songs with British electronic acts Goldfrapp and Ladytron, plus former Zero 7 singer Sia, as SPIN.com reported last summer.
Now, Perez Hilton says that über-feminist punk group Le Tigre will join "Xtina" in the studio to work on the album.
Known for their bold lyrics and outspoken support of gay/lesbian and women's rights, Le Tigre had been on a musical hiatus since 2007. Dogged by rumors of
a split, singer Kathleen Hanna (formerly of the "riot grrrl" band Bikini Kill) took to the group's MySpace in April to proclaim that Le Tigre had
not broken up. And now comes this news.
In fact, Sia might be the one responsible for getting Le Tigre on board with the project. She and bandmember JD Samsom have been romantically linked -- and as
she told SPIN.com, she thinks Christina is "rad"!
Alternative electro-rockers Le Tigre have just been added to the list of collaborators for Christina Aguilera's upcoming fourth studio album "Light
& Darkness".
The all female lesbian 3-piece are best known for their underground hit "TKO". The groups last album was in 2004, and they've been on an official
break since 2007 only now reuniting to work with Aguilera.
Also featured on her self-described "futuristic electro" album will be Tricky Stewart, Sia, Linda Perry, Claude Kelly, Goldfrapp, and Ladytron.
