On the “jazz” front, Aguilera joined up with Herbie Hancock last year on a Grammy-nominated rendition of Leon Russell’s “A Song For You.” The track was part of Hancock’s pop collaborations album Possibilities, and the pair performed the song live at the Grammy Awards this past February. The 25-year-old pop star has delved into soul material with favorable results several times throughout her career, most notably winning a Grammy alongside Mya, Lil’ Kim and Pink for their transformation of the Patti LaBelle hit “Lady Marmalade” off the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. 15.Īccording to a recent press release, the album is a “modern take on vintage jazz, soul and blues from the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s…with a throwback style creating a sound that’s gritty and raw.” It will be curious to hear exactly what kind of ’20s-era “soul” music she’s looking to channel, since that genre didn’t really surface until the 1960s, but if anyone from the Britney camp has the pipes to tackle classic American music, it’s probably Aguilera. Just when you thought jazz had taken enough abuse from over-the-hill rockers and expired pop stars gunning for the wine-tasting market, teenybopping chanteuse Christina Aguilera is set to release an ode to jazz and blues titled Back to Basics on Aug.
