New Good Song: Your Body by Christina Aguilera

Here's a new good song -- "Your Body" by Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera is such a talented vocalist that the bar is very high for her output. The anticipation and expectations around her releases are further heightened by how infrequent her albums are, compared with her contemporaries. And even more attention is on her now that she's on "The Voice," which is apparently very popular.

Aguilera's better songs, in my opinion, have included "Genie In A Bottle," "Fighter," "Ain't No Other Man," "Hurt" and "Candyman." Less good have been "What A Girl Wants," "Can't Hold Us Down" and "Woohoo." Now she is back with "Your Body," a loud and energetic song about seduction that is not her best but is good and should inject some adrenaline back into her career. The surprising secret weapon here is the production, which seems particularly off-trend but intrigues the listener, particularly on repeated listens. In this sense, it's very much in a league with "Genie In A Bottle," somewhere in the gray area between gritty and glossy.

Also, isn't the cover art striking?

Enjoy!
