Back to Basics is the third full-length English studio album by American pop/R&B singer Christina Aguilera. The album was released on August 15, 2006 in the United States and Canada, on August 9, 2006 in Japan, on August 12 in Australia, and on several dates in Europe, starting on August 9, 2006, and ending on August 22, 2006.[2] It was leaked to the Internet two weeks before the actual release date. The album features what Aguilera describes as "a throwback to the 20s, 30s, and 40s-style jazz, blues, and feel-good soul music, but with a modern twist."[3] It was nominated for the Best Pop Vocal Album Grammy Award, and the lead single from the album, "Ain't No Other Man", won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy Award. A year later, "Candyman" was nominated in the same category. The album, thus far, has yielded three commercial singles: "Ain't No Other Man", "Hurt" and "Candyman". "Slow Down Baby" was used as a promotional single to promote her tour in Australia and "Oh Mother" was released as the album's fourth single in some parts of Europe. Back to Basics has won total of 50 awards.

Back To Basics has sold over 4.5 million albums worldwide.[4]

[edit] Background

Aguilera started studio sessions in 2005 as a follow-up to her third album, Stripped, since 2002.[5] Aguilera explained that her break in her musical career is to take her time so when she is back, she has a lot more to say about the happenings of her life. Aguilera explained that she also wanted to bring something novel in the album and try to evolve as an artist and a visionary.[6]

The record finds Aguilera working with hip hop producers DJ Premier, who had previous works with Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, among others,[7] Rich Harrison, Kwamé, Mark Ronson for the first time, and Linda Perry, with whom she had also worked on her previous studio album Stripped. As early as June 2006, Aguilera and the production team have been working together for months. Aguilera described to Premier what she wanted to create in the new effort and presented CDs of joints to listen to, like Al Green and Aretha Franklin.[7] In June 2006, Aguilera already recorded tracks enough for a two-disc album, but reduced to make it only one and affordable. However, on the 2006 MTV Movie Awards, Aguilera revealed that the new album will include two discs.[6]

In May 2006, Pepsi released an international commercial featuring a clip in which Aguilera performs the song "Here to Stay" alongside Lebanese singer Elissa (who sings her then-current single "Bastanak").

[edit] Artworks shooting

When Aguilera started working on Back to Basics, she was not just inspired by the sounds of the 1920s, '30s and '40s, but the look of those eras as well.[8] When she began shooting for the artwork of the album, she cited Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Carole Lombard, Greta Garbo, Veronica Lake, among others as her inspirations.[8]

With the first setup, we just wanted to [give the photographs] warm lighting, very inviting, just kind of relaxed, an old-Hollywood feel where you're kind of in the bed but also being really inviting, [because] I'm kind of smiling," Aguilera explained. "For the Stripped record it was a very real and honest place for me, but it was also a darker place. So I feel really lifted, things are lighter for me. I'm happier now than I've ever really been.
—Christina Aguilera, MTV[8]

Aguilera handpicked German photographer Ellen von Unwerth, who has captured Janet Jackson and Penelope Cruz, for the photo sessions. They spent three days beginning at a historic hotel called the Hollywood Dell.[8] Aguilera spent most of the first day shooting in a bed, peering through the iron bars of a headboard; a shot inspired by a famous Marilyn Monroe picture. Later, the image featuring Aguilera in white dress and lounging at the bed was used as the album's cover, an image shot on the same session.[8] The production group used warm lighting. On the second day, Aguilera used more dressed up outfits. For the third day session, Aguilera and Unwerth went to a Forty Deuce, a Hollywood hot-spot that puts a modern twist on a 1920s burlesque club. They set up the vibe to create an old jazzy blues club. In the session, Aguilera also shot a series of pictures with four Navy sailors.

[edit] Lyrical content

Lyrically, when she started writing on the new disc, she incorporated her real life to the songs. She, however, quoted that, in her lead single "Ain't No Other Man", it does not speak about love.[9]

"Still Dirrty", a track in the first disc co-worked with Nas, is a sequel to her 2002 single "Dirrty", which was panned by critics for its controversial music video, taking her to the forefront showing sexual fetishes. In the track, Aguilera reminisces the plight of her career when she did the record. The beat, however, is different from its predecessor; it is jazz-sampled backed with horns.[10]

The eighth track on disc one, "F.U.S.S." stands for "F*** U Scott Storch".[11] Scott Storch produced and co-wrote a number of songs for Aguilera's previous studio album Stripped, including "Walk Away", "Can't Hold Us Down", "Infatuation", "Fighter", "Loving Me 4 Me", "Keep On Singin' My Song", and "Underappreciated". Storch was asked to be involved with Back to Basics but refused to be a part of the project when Aguilera declined to pay airfare for him and his entourage to fly out to her, amongst other demands, which led to a breakdown of their relationship.[12] She, herself, said "That’s a way of burying my experience with him. We did great work on Stripped... When I tried to work with him again, he made uncalled-for demands. It was disappointing that someone would get affected like that."

In the album, Aguilera introduces her new alter-ego, Baby Jane, like the presentation of Xtina in Stripped. She features her new persona in the video of "Ain't No Other Man", posting it in her dressing room, sheet music and car.[9]

[edit] Music and style

The first half of the album is kind of a throwback with elements of jazz, blues and soul music combined with a modern-day twist, like hard-hitting beats. And for the second disc, we [Aguilera and Perry] creatively went into our own zone and our own world together. There are no cover songs, so we made more of a '20s, '30s vibe with an authentic and organic twist. There are no samples — it's all live music. One of the songs sounds like you entered a 1920s burlesque club, another song sounds like it was actually recorded in the 1920s, using a vintage microphone, so it's exciting stuff.
—Christina Aguilera, MTV[6]

Aguilera took inspiration for the production of the album from Billie Holiday, Whitney Houston, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald.[13] Aguilera was exposed to soul, jazz and blues records when she was a child because her mother used to bring her to look for vintage records.[14]

Aguilera has described her newest album as an urban soul record combining elements of 1920s, '30s and '40s blues and jazz with modern day influences.[3] The record also use elements with a 1920s circus theme.[8] The songs in the two-disc album are constructed in different style. The first disc is a throwback album with elements of old blues and jazz with a modern day twist, largely produced by beat-oriented producers.[6] It is also more "beat-driven" (as Aguilera stated on the "Back to Basics" CD enhanced video). Most songs employ record sampling[6] except "F.U.S.S.", "Without You" and "Still Dirrty". The second disc are all live records except Candyman, and were mostly written by Aguilera and Perry; however, the theme remains vintage.[6][9] "There are no samples - It's all live music", Aguilera related about the second disc.[6]

The opening track, "Makes Me Wanna Pray", features adult-contemporary mainstay Steve Winwood.[15] Aguilera used vintage microphone for the track "I Got Trouble" to produce like a song actually recorded in the 1920s.

The album spawned four official singles released over a period of 14 months. The first, "Ain't No Other Man", was released in June 2006 to critical acclaim and a successful run on many world charts. It is deemed as Aguilera's comeback single, peaking in the top ten in countries like the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. The dance hit also became the 12th most successful single of 2006 on the United World Chart. In late Autumn, the ballad Hurt was released as the 2nd single. The chart reaction was mixed as it became hugely successful in Europe, peaking in the top three on the Euro 200 chart, while barely cracking the top 20 in the United States but it was certified Gold. Aguilera also found mild success with the track "Mercy on Me" in Europe. Impressively, it peaked at #143 on the EU Top 200 Singles without a physical release or any promotion. In the early spring of 2007, "Candyman" was released as the third single. The single was certified Gold in the United States, but only managed to hit #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 due to stalling radio airplay. Elsewhere, "Candyman" achieved mild to moderate success, becoming one of Christina's biggest hits in Canada and Australia, while also becoming her lowest ranking solo single on the United World Chart, peaking at a modest #13. Probably due to the pregnancy news, the label decided to not release a worldwide single, because it would have needed a lot of promotion, and so it has been released two airplay singles. "Slow Down Baby" was released as the album's fourth single on July 30, 2007 in Australia.[16] It was not released in Europe but "Oh Mother" was released instead on November 23, 2007 in some parts of Europe.[17]

[edit] Reception

Debuting at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart, Back to Basics became Christina's second number-one album of her career. The album also debuted at #2 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Album chart, becoming a crossover sucess as well. She received her best sales week of her career with over 346,000 copies sold in the U.S. alone,[18] as well as the 1st biggest first week sales by a female artist in 2006 at the time of its release.[18]

Aguilera's album reached number 1 in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Canada, and Switzerland, in addition to topping the United World Chart with 615,000 records sold in the first week alone. [19]

Two weeks before the official U.S. release of Back to Basics, iTunes made the album available for pre-order. The jazz-inspired album immediately shot up the iTunes chart, landing in 1st place. Back to Basics also became the 9th most successful album released in 2006 regarding worldwide sales, with 2.5 million albums sold. [20]

Back to Basics has been certified Gold in Japan, Hong Kong,[21] Korea,[21] Austria, Poland,[22] France, India,[23] Netherlands, Italy, Denmark and the Czech Republic.[21] It has moreover conquered the worldwide market, catching up and exceeding the threshold of Platinum in the following nations: the UK, Germany, Switzerland, United States, Singapore,[21] New Zealand, Belgium, Hungary and has been certified Double Platinum in Australia and Russia and triple Platinum in Canada and Ireland. iTunes later named it as the Best Pop Album of the Year beating out this year's release by Justin Timberlake and Beyonce Knowles.[24] Critically, the album was a success with a rating of 69/100 (generally positive reviews) on the website MetaCritic and is Christina's best reviewed album to date,[25] receiving more praise than her second studio album Stripped which scored a 55/100 on MetaCritic.[26].
