![]() Britney, who had been the default Christina foil probably since their days together in the Mickey Mouse Club, was on the verge of her infamous breakdown. This is the LP that set Aguilera apart from her pop peers. And upon the album’s 10th anniversary, that assessment still stands. And her new (old) sound matched this vintage look and the alter ego she called Baby Jane.Īt the time, the long-awaited Back To Basics (even Christina told Rolling Stone, “I feel like I’ve been pregnant for eighteen months!”) dropped four years after previous pop effort Stripped, and was praised by critics and fans alike: Christina Aguilera was here to stay. She traded her long, bleached-and-black streaked Xtina hair for classic platinum Marilyn Monroe-esque curls. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) The diva’s third pop album put her talent and musical diversity at the forefront. When Christina Aguilera released Back To Basics on August 9, 2006, she made it clear that there is more to her than a dirrty girl shaking it in a plaid miniskirt with the word “nasty” across the ass in a boxing ring surrounded by a bunch half-naked people. Our friends may come and go, but we’ll be spinning our favorite albums forever. Backtracking is our recurring look back at the pop music that shaped our lives.
