Christina Aguilera Sets New Album Release Date

Christina Aguilera's third studio album has been given an official release date.

According to her official website, fans will get their first glimpse of Back To Basics on August 15 with the hot first single, Ain't No Other Man, released on June 12.

The single will be unveiled to the world when Christina performs at the MTV Movie Awards on June 8.

Paying tribute to the music that inspired her, Back To Basics, is Christina's modern take on vintage jazz, soul and blues from the 1920s, '30s and '40s. The album is wildly inventive with a throwback style creating a sound that's gritty and raw. Back To Basics reunites her with producer Linda Perry as well as creating new collaborations with producers such as DJ Premier.

She said fans should expect a "concept album that follows a bold, set vision.

"The touchstones are Billie Holiday, Otis Redding, Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald... what I used to call my 'fun music' when I was a little girl."

Back To Basics utilizes an orchestra, choir, string quartet and jazz horns, as well as techniques that offer a vintage sound and sensibility. "I Got Trouble" incorporates a scratchy blues feel, while "Candy Man" recalls the tight harmonies of all-girl groups from the '30s and '40s "Save Me From Myself" is an emotionally naked, raw-sounding song dedicated to her husband. "Thank You," dedicated to her fans, features DJ Premier splicing bits of "Genie In A Bottle" with fan voicemail messages.

Also sure to appeal to Aguilera fans is the risqué song "Nasty Naughty Boy" (which has a '20s burlesque feel) and the club track "Still Dirrty," assuring her fans that she's "still got the nasty in me, …still got that dirty degree…still got that freak in me."
