"The Voice" judge Christina Aguilera comeback machine kicked into higher gear Friday morning with a brand-new video for her racy bad girl track, "Your Body," the lead single from the pop star's forthcoming self-expression and freedom record, "Lotus," due to hit stores in November. It wouldn't be a Aguilera leadoff single without her patented shock-you lyrics and double entendre. You always want the first single from your newest album to capture people's attentions whether it be by the vocals, the melody or the lyrics.
The fun, sexy and upbeat club track "Your Body," is a belter of an electro-meets-R&B anthem that feels both fresh and exciting, with a trace of dubstep in the track's middle eight. Lyrically, it talks about anonymous sex, where Aguilera wants a one night stand with a random guy and that it's okay if the guy doesn’t know what he’s doing, since she can finish up on her own. Aguilera's voice is crisp and up-front in this boudoir battle cry, and the shuffling early '00s beat is prime for any number of potential remixes.
The four-on-the-floor rhythm refrain has Aguilera flaunting her famous pipes on either side with the verses, "All I wanna do is love your body." While the song’s message might not appeal to some people, you can't deny its catchiness and ability to make you move on the dancefloor. Musically, it's an interesting fit for the 31-year-old songstress - the relaxed tempo should allow her to really dig in and belt it out, but she never truly lets loose.
Working with director Melina Matsoukas, Aguilera tells a story of a sexy woman who hunts down men for pleasure. Yes. she is a men-killer, literally. The clip is certainly a feast for the eyes, what with its brightly colored scenes of violence, as she described it as "playful, tongue and cheek" video, where she plays a badass, confident, self-assured sexy hot siren who kills men after seducing them. She also takes her bad-girl image to delightfully dangerous new heights as a colorful vixen who robs convenience stores and blows up cars.
