 Le Tigre speaks out on collaboration with Christina | Type: Internet Article |

 "Curling up in sweatpants, puzzling over lyrics, and checking her Blackberry while the beat loops forever...hey, Christina is just like us after all!" More Details on the Le Tigre/Christina Aguilera Collaboration Revealed
After much speculation, Le Tigre are finally speaking about their collaboration with pop star extraordinaire Christina Aguilera. Though there's still a possibility that the "couple of songs" Le Tigre made with Xtina won't make the belter's forthcoming album-- dubbed Bionic and reportedly due in April-- Le Tigre member Johanna Fateman had lots of positive things to say about the unlikely pairing in a recent blog post. "For a feminist band obsessed with pop music, it was pretty much a dream come true," she wrote.
Apparently, Xtina wanted to work with the NYC feminist icons because their wiry 1999 post-punk banger "Deceptacon" is her "jam." (Amazing.) According to Fateman, the megawatt chameleon even used LT singer Kathleen Hanna's "secret signature vocal FX box" during their sessions, which went down last winter. Also: Aguilera apparently owns "a million great pens."
Commenting on the oddness of the team-up, Fateman wrote, "[we] found a ton of common ground in our aim to make upbeat danceable tracks celebrating female friendship, strength, and of course, PARTYING," and, "The songs have a lot of elements we're known for like a garage guitar sound, schoolyard chants, new wave-y synths, electro beats, and somehow it all sounds crazily right with Christina's unbelievable voice." We are convinced! Good lord are we convinced.
Le Tigre aren't the only P4k-friendly acts working with Aguilera on her new LP-- Goldfrapp, Ladytron, M.I.A., and Santigold have clocked in studio time with the singer for potential Bionic tracks, too. Gossip blogs claim the new album is set for release in April with first single "Glam" to hit in the coming weeks. |
