Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera

1

Inventive third album from the pop princess

Christina steals back the pop princess crown with this belter of a third album, a wildly inventive take on vintage jazz, soul and blues. Single Ain't No Other Man sounds like the Jackson 5 fronted by Aretha Franklin, Candy Man messes with girl-group pop, Still Dirrty revisits the raw sound of her last album, and the scratchy blues of I Got Trouble wouldn't have shamed Billie Holiday. Love it.
