10.5.10

Get excited...

It's the Xtina Bionic tracklisting and it looks a.may.zing. Where to start!? Three Janet-style-mid-album-intros, A PEACHES FEATURE (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and a song called "Desnudate". *collective heads explode, violently but glitteringly*
  1. "Bionic"
  2. "Not Myself Tonight"
  3. "Woohoo (feat. Nicki Minaj)"
  4. "Elastic Love"
  5. "Desnudate"
  6. "Love & Glamour (Intro)"
  7. "Glam"
  8. "Prima Donna"
  9. "Morning Dessert (Intro)"
  10. "Sex For Breakfast"
  11. "Lift Me Up"
  12. "My Heart (Intro)"
  13. "All I Need"
  14. "I Am"
  15. "You Lost Me"
  16. "I Hate Boys"
  17. "My Girls (feat. Peaches)"
  18. "Vanity"
There's been a lot of bullshit about how disappointing all of this Xtina era is, but we don't see it. Yes the "Not Myself Tonight" video was a tad messy, and it's not what we personally would have done, given the opportunity, but we love both of the songs we've heard so far (commercial pop, but excellently well done, and not so gimmicky that it might date within the year) and the promise of an album full of left-of-centre collaborations still has us salivating!

Anyway, whatever, each to their own, Xtina, despite her occasionally 'risk-taking' choices, has still, always, been a mainstream, major-label, international popstar, and the fact that her first single in years isn't a 7 minute, dubstep-influenced, minimalist round for 62 piece orchestra and synth-marimba doesn't surprise us. We're also glad it's not David Guetta or RedOne produced.

So be thankful.
