Aguilera goes futuristic with new single

Pop star Christina Aguilera has gone futuristic with her new single.

Los Angeles: American pop star Christina Aguilera, who recently released the devil-may-care artwork for her new single `Not Myself Tonight` admits she has gone futuristic with it.

On her 2006 album `Back to Basics`, the 29-year-old singer went retro with a sound that referenced music from the `20s, `30s and `40s, but on her new album, she is going for a sonic landscape that`s ahead of its time, a news magazine reported. "`I`m so excited and I have had an idea for a futuristic feel for many years now," Aguilera said. "It`s always been in the back of my mind to do a more futuristic sound. I was inspired by artists that I am collaborating with on the album. Folks like Sia, Ladytron and Goldfrapp," she added. The Grammy-award-winning singer was also inspired by her 2-year-old son, Max with Jordan Bratman whom she wed in 2005. "I felt like it couldn`t been a better time or place for me personally, also as a new mom," Aguilera said. PTI
