Christina Aguilera has far surpassed her counterparts like Britney Spears, Mandy Moore, and Jessica Simpson, and her voice is far superior. Additionally, she's pretty damn sexy as well. Her new single "Ain't No Other Man" is a far cry from "Genie in a Bottle". "Ain't No Other Man" will have a significant impact on the slumping pop queen category and will by far cause the rest to go back to the drawing board.
Teaming up with high profile producers D.J. Premier and Charles Roane, these two and Christina have produced a track that's vast becoming the hottest thing around and the album hasn't even been released yet. Working with D.J. Premier was a choice of Christina's, this is because of his influence on the hip-hop world, producing hits for artists like Notorious B.I.G., Gang Starr, Nas, KRS-One, and the list goes on. Both Christina and D.J. Premier have a love for early jazz, soul and the blues, from the 20's 30's and 40's, and they've applied these forms to her new album, with no title at this moment. (The CD is due to be released late summer early fall).
Mixing hip-hop and jazz just as D.J. Premier with the previous artists mentioned above, their chemistry is fantastic and the two have provided the pop music genre with something to reckon with. Look for the album this fall.
