It's feminine and sexy, yet strong. Very Christina.
Can't wait
I am here for it WAHOO!!
and i love that it will be about self expression and freedom :cool: Sounds like it will make for a big statement album....like Stripped 10 years later kinda vibe im getting!
I love that the cover art is very symbolic too...like i said in the Madonna AT and the Christina AT She has embodied Madonna-1990 "Blonde Ambition/Express Yourself" (i think the photoshoot for Rolling Stone to promoe the BA Tour) which is of course....self-expression and a massive influence on Christina! She also has the "genie vibes" with the pinks and lightness like where she has come from/made her debut....and also she is in a very Stripped Era pose also which i love and is a cheeky ode back...also she has kept the signature peroxide blonde look too....here i am...XTINA!!!
And this Friday too??? i honestly hope she garners WW. airplay...i hope that she does on Radio 1 etc too...cannot wait to hear it!
Can't wait for the video. This will probably give us a better understanding of what the new era is all about
Yeah its like odes to her personal influences, her personal past AND her own retrospective of when she debuted and when she made her mark all in one single cover....it is pretty fantastic and it looks delicious!
And totally see that aspect, and get mine, get yours is a fave of mine on Stripped definitely and heard that aspect in the demo of Your Body....so yeah cannot wait for final version and video too...and hope there is a second single pre-Lotus release week :cool:
Also great idea to release in November...Christmas/Winter sales, many promo opportunities etc. Should be brilliant.
And as much as i dislike "2.0" i strangely am all for it for Lotus...Stripped but a reflection of a decade and a movement forward....entered her 30s, now she has THIS to say and show and do...will be very interesting!
As far as the second single goes, it's rumoured to be a big powerhouse ballad which will also be released in the form of a mid-tempo remix. I don't know if it's true yet, but I think it's possible. It would follow suit with 'Beautiful', 'Hurt' and the underrated 'YLM'. She always releases ballads as the second single. I thought the album was going to be out in early 2013 though. I'm not sure she has any time to release the second single before the album, but she could squeeze it in and perform both songs at the AMA's!
I'm with you i hate fans repeating but it makes sense for me BTb great album but after stripped was less personal and didn't have the spark that made it such a momentous album. But Lotus as a successor to it it fits like the period before stripped and eveything post lotus the voice getting back on top this personal freedom of expression vibe just works just hope it sounds good.
And love a Christina Ballad always a great follow up to what is usually an additive catchy hard hittin pop song
That said, I hope that she re-recorded her vocals for the final version of 'YB'. I love the demo, but I know she can do much better vocally, especially after the bridge! I would like a more epic version of "I think you already know my naaaaaaaaaaame"
Definitely compensation for You Lost Me bombing at least :mad::p im just interested to see in context of the album how the ballads will sound will they be about freedom and getting back to ones self or love songs she has so many avenues to go down its brilliant
And i like Christina as she always fits her voice to the song like on NMT slow build then hits you right at the end that power she is an incredibly underrated vocalist.
